TENNERTON – Buckhannon-Upshur junior tailback Savion Farmer was the lone Buccaneer to garner all-state football honors this season.

Farmer was named to the West Virginia Sports Writers Association Honorable Mention Team.

Farmer led an impressive Buckhannon-Upshur ground game that accumulated over 1,600 yards this year and averaged 179 yards per game.

Farmer led the ground game, carrying the ball 137 times for 846 yards and scoring six touchdowns in eight games. He averaged 106 yards per game.

“Savion had a great year and we look forward to having him back in 2022,” stated Buckhannon-Upshur head coach Zach Davis.
