The problem is that 3 more points would have helped us win the game. I'm not disappointed with the call, it was a great punt. I am just wondering why we didn't try a kick a very makable kick for jasper.

3 more points would have helped us win the game? That might be the most brilliant thing I've heard today,

As others have said, the right thing to do was punt, and I find it even harder to argue against this considering it was executed perfectly.

Had the FG been attempted and missed or worse blocked and returned for a score, you'd be on here asking WTF didn't they punt.

It would have been a 59 yard attempt. Makable? Sure, but much less than 50%. Even if you're losing, you punt there with over 7 minutes to play. Being up 3 scores, though, who in their right mind would even consider for a millisecond to attempt that field goal? I would try to convert that 4th and 10 before attempting such a silly field goal.
