Upcoming Jenkins eighth-grader Riley Fleming carried the weight of her team squarely on her shoulders one year ago in the circle.
She faced a number of outstanding players across the 15th and 14th Regions, as well as teams from neighboring Virginia.
Her off-season work continues by participating as a member of the Letcher County all-star team which took part this past weekend in the state tournament. She plays summer ball as well working on her fundamentals to improve her game.
Fleming has been recognized this week as Mountain Top Sports’ Athlete of the Week.
Coaches are reminded, if your players are working hard during the off season let us know about it.
