DOWAGIAC, Ind. – A local legend might not have broken the state record, but he is being recognized for another achievement.
Brett Scanlon, place kicker for Dowagiac Union High School has been named to the 2011 First Team Michigan All-State Football Squad.
ABC 57 first told you about Scanlon’s quest to kick a 60-yard field goal to break the state record. He fell a little short but did kick a 55-yard to break the school record.
Scanlon led his team to a district championship this year. He also played quarterback and linebacker. Kicking is his strong suit.
He's been recruited to kick by LSU, Alabama, Standford and Michigan State.
