Essex's Malik Martin racked up the major honors on the All-Rappahannock River Conference all-star team.
Malik Martin was named Offensive Player of the Year, Offensive Back of the Year, and Defensive Back of the Year. Martin led league with 1,483 yards rushing and 15 TDs. He also caught nine passes for 107 yards and another TD. He led his team with 61 tackles and 2 interceptions.
Essex's Tyler Douglas was named Offensive Lineman of the Year. Essex's Coach John Fulks was the league's Coach of the Year.
The other two major individual honors went to Rappahannock's A.J. Darby who was the Defensive Player of the Year and Defensive Lineman of the Year. Congrats to all.
other notes- Rappahannock was missing their rushing leader Leroy Farmer and defensive player Raven Wilson in the AltaVista game (both all conference players had suffered injuries v Essex the week earlier).
Great preview of Essex v Luray game in this week's Rapp times. Luray hails from the tough Shenandoah District which includes Riverheads. Plus East Rock and Stuarts Draft who defeated local 2A teams W&L and KW. Soon will have some common opponents to examine. Last time and only time Essex played Luray was in 1st round of playoffs in 2012. I remember that game being a lot closer than most of us expected.
