BARTON, VA:
His name might be synonymous with the PAT miss that booted the Bruisers from the OFL playoffs, but NykeStorm is refusing to let it define his career.
Maybe, I thought, NykeStorm’s playoff-altering PAT miss a few days ago was because Corinth was so close to blocking an earlier field goal and Nyke had to alter his delivery to be sure Corinth didn’t get this one.
“No,” said Nyke. “That’s not what I was thinking about.”
Or maybe it had something to do with the mentality and nervousness of NykeStorm
“No,” said Nyke.
“What happened was, I rushed it, and I didn’t have to,” Nyke said. "It is inexplainable. The whole thing … I rushed the process, and you never should do that on a kick."
“The hardest thing is knowing I let my team down. I get emotional when I think of that. That’s my job, and I didn’t do it. When we all came in the locker room after the game, and I had to look at them, that’s the toughest thing.”
But there is one thing Nyke is quite sure of. He is not sure he can watch OFL right now, because when he does he thinks of the fact that his miss put the Bruisers out of the games we’re watching now, and that torments him. While NykeStorm hurts for the fans who love the Bruisers and were gutted by losing that game, he does feel strongly that the miss will not mar his career to the point that he’ll have to do something else.
“A missed PAT is not going to define who I am—and it is not going to ruin my life,” he said matter-of-factly.
A lot more matter-of-factly than most 8-year-olds could say about being in a very public profession, and knowing that whenever players of the OFL think of his name, they’ll think of this shanked kick.
NykeStorm was asked how did he miss a kick that has been converted 302/312 times this season when the game was on the line. Then he cried, and no teammate could console him.
“I love the OFL,” said Nyke. “I love my job. I respect the game so much, because I know what it means to so many people. So I do not take this lightly. But whatever everyone has said to me—fans, my coaches, my teammates, kickers from other teams, the people in the community—honestly has restored my faith in humanity and the community of the league.”
NykeStorm will just be taking life one day at a time.

| A missed PAT is not going to define who I am- sounds like something Blaire Walsh would say. |
