Kickers

Nothing better than an animated kicker.
MPC's Chris Pinto doesn't shy from the limelight. He talks openly throughout the game to anyone willing to listen.
He's amusing.
Yet, when it's time to kick, he is — well as he likes to call himself — MONEY.
Pinto's game-winning field goal in Saturday's 22-19 overtime win over Yuba was followed by a sprint to the 50-yard line, where he was caught by his teammates.
Remember, he is a kicker.
Pinto, a Salinas High graduate, isn't a kicker that wants to stand alone before a big kick. If there's pressure, he relishes it. Perhaps that is why he hasn't missed from 40 yards and in this year.
Plus, it was his extra point that forced overtime.
