Brogan Amherdt’s 29-yard FG sends Prairie Ridge to Class 6A state title game

Prairie Ridge’s Brogan Amherdt (82) kicks the game-winning field goal out of the hold of Tyler Vasey (7). (Allen Cunningham/For the Sun-Times)

Brogan Amherdt is a soccer player. He first started kicking for the football team a bit last year. His best friend is Prairie Ridge quarterback Tyler Vasey, one of the area’s leading candidates for Player of the Year. Amherdt is a central part of the Wolves’ success this season, but his role is to kick extra points. 

The Wolves score touchdowns. They rarely have to settle for field goals, so Amherdt entered Saturday’s Class 6A state semifinal game against St. Ignatius never having attempted a field goal.
