Owen Meyers Region Defensive Player of  the Year

Sumter – The Wilson Hall football team saw its season come to an end with a 28-24 loss to

Pinewood Prep in the SCISA AAA state championship game. It was the second straight year the Barons

played for the AAA title, falling to Hilton Head Christian Academy in 2023.


While unable to bring a championship trophy home, WH head coach Adam Jarecki said the

Class of 2025 has been a very successful one.


“This group has accomplished a lot over the last three years,” Jarecki said. “They won seven

games two years ago and reached the semifinals, won 10 games last year and played for the title and won

11-games this season and played in the title game. This group has also been successful in other sports, so

this is a special group.”


The senior class, which has gone 28-9 the last three years, has 11 members in Owen Meyers,

Thomas Creech, Shawn Michael Matthews, Akshar Patel, Knox Buxton, Jackson Bonser, Andrew

Segars, Adam Baker, Cooper Scott, Parker McLeod and Carson Wilsey.


Wilson Hall had nine players named to the All-Region 2-AAA team. Leading the way was

Meyers, who was named the Region Defensive Player of the Year. As a linebacker Meyers led the Barons

in tackles with 61 and tied for the team lead in tackles for loss with nine to go with five quarterback sacks

and an interception. Meyers was also the starting quarterback, completing 63 of 111 passes for 1,009

yards and 12 touchdowns while rushing for 218 yards and six TDs on 66 carries.


The other seniors selected All-Region were Scott, Wilsey and Bonser. Scott and Wilsey were

selected as offensive linemen, Scott starting at center and Wilsey at left tackle. On the defensive front,

Wilsey had 52 tackles and three sacks while Scott had 25 tackles and one sack.


Bonser was named to the team as a placekicker, and he had a tremendous season. Bonser hit on

34 of 37 extra point attempts and was 7 of 8 on field goal attempts with a long of 48 yards. Bonser also

started in the secondary and had 50 tackles and an interception.


The other All-Region choices were juniors Milling Galloway, Ford Wilder, Walker WilsonBen

McLaurin and Harris Naylor.

eight TDs. As a defensive back, Galloway had 38 tackles, four TFLs and an interception. Wilder was
