Barth's place kicking skills will be his major contribution as a Tar Heel during his college
career, but it was his punting that made him a valuable commodity for the East squad. Barth
recorded a punting average of 42.8 yards-per-punt on five attempts while landing four within
the twenty-yard line. He also had an eye-popping long of 48 yards.
Barth did connect on his lone extra point attempt and garnered enough confidence from the East
coaching staff to attempt a 58-yard field goal, which barely came up short.
On kick-offs, Barth booted the opening kick 57 yards only to have to make the first tackle of
the night as returner Brandon Reid of Belmont (N.C.) South Point negated the yards with a
57-yard return. Barth, not wanting to make any more tackles, kicked his second and last
kickoff 60 yards clearly out of the end zone for a touchback.
Barth ended the night with three total tackles including two solos.
