The Ironmen’ running back has been named the Frontier Athletic Conference’s Player of the Year after helping his team finish 10-0 overall and 5-0 in the FAC.
Joining Spires on the all-league list are teammates Anthony Parks, Brice Parks, Treylan Davis, Grant Mastin, Ty Ruckel and Jared Icenhower. That group helped their team beat Centennial in a first round playoff game Friday night by a 70-28 final … the most points any Jackson team has ever scored in a single game.
Washington, which finished 7-3 this season, had five players named all-league in Eli Lynch, Collier Brown, Chase Sluder, Jameson McCane and Jerome Mack. The league’s third place team, Chillicothe, has four all-FAC selections in Patrick Rourke, Ray Byers, Drew Seymour and Kam Smith.
Miami Trace’s Jayden Lebeau, Dalton Mayer, Luke Henry and Josh Gilmore were also included on the list, Hillsboro’s Draven Stodgell, Zach Burns, Mark Gallimore and Justin Spears were named to the all-league team and McClain’s Gabe Martinez was the only Tiger to make an appearance.
