Emporia High freshman kicker Alex Allemang wrapped up another successful year on the football field during the Kicking World National Showcase held Dec. 5-6 in Austin, Texas, finishing competition as one of the countryâs top performers in the class of 2024.

By featuring only the nationâs best young specialists, the event has become a source of opportunity for participants over the years, often drawing interest from college programs at all levels.
