It’s Maher’s year

The final edition of the All-Area teams for fall sports takes us to the gridiron.

We already rolled out the top athletes in the coverage area for golf, soccer, volleyball, cross country and now it’s time to take a look at the top athletes for football.

It was quite the ride for the Fleming County football team this season that earned them their second district championship in three seasons and a record of 10-3. That run was driven by quarterback/linebacker Jonathan Maher and for his efforts leads the All-Area team. Maher became the only quarterback in Fleming County history to throw for over 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 in a single season, the Panthers making their fifth regional championship game appearance in school history.

On top of combining for 3,584 yards and 42 touchdowns offensively, Maher also led the Panthers with 124 tackles on the season. His special season helped lead the Panthers to a memorable one that ended in Pineville against Bell County with the Fleming County community behind them.

Not to be outdone, some other big years also took place by the Mason County trio of Carson Brammer, Jeremiah Jones and Jayden Riggs, along with Maher’s teammate Kaleb Flanery and Bracken County’s Emery Woods.
