All-time record still? Michael Carter - 81 feet, three-and-a-half inches. Transitioning to college - we would always subtract 10 feet and would think he'd throw the 16 pound ball 71'
That's not a distance to sneeze at. I'd expect more hype and to let us know the thrower's stats etc. Very cool and it would be great to see a thrower in HS get close to 80'
@@throwbigthrowfar_X Dang! Wish I was smart enough to figure out how this is happening. I see the distance. The most I've ever seen thrown in person is about 12 feet less than that. And considering that a 38' foot throw looks like shite compared to a 50' throw then I have to assume that this 75 footer put 63 footers to shame. Maybe that's not a perfect analogy. Percentage vs. difference. Point is that must've been some throw, but it doesn't come across in video. Wish it did. Not trying to downplay it. Just would love to see that from ringside.
How is there zero hype from anybody present?

Just saw that sophomore Jackson Cantwell put 74 9 3/4 at districts yesterday. Would love to see Ben and Jackson compete at nationals.
What a bomb!

Any throw that is that crazy far especially in high school needs to follow with some sort of testing to rule out foul play.
agreed. Doubtful shots were weighed for a quad meet on a weekday. Lack of an exuberant celebration could be telling as well.
