Johnson was named the Pennsylvania Football Writers Class A Player of the Year, becoming the first Muncy player ever to receive such an honor. The senior running back headlined a huge day for Muncy, joining teammates Landyn Wommer, Ken Hampe and Stiles Eyer on the all-state team.

Canton kicker Alexis McRoberts made history as well, becoming the first female in Sun-Gazette history to earn all-state honors in football. Lewisburg running back Jeremiah Davis also earned all-state honors, earning the area’s lone selection on the Class AAA team.

The Class 6A, 4A and 2A teams will be announced Saturday.

DAVE KENNEDY/Sun-Gazette Lewisburg’s Jeremiah Davis earned all-state honors at running back this year in Class AAA.

Johnson put together the best season in Muncy history and one of the three best in Sun-Gazette area history while helping the Indians capture the District 4 championship and reach the state’s Final 4 for the first time. He joined Dominick Bragalone as the only players in area history to reach 3,000 yards in a season, finishing with 3,015 yards and 48 touchdowns.

Johnson was virtually unstoppable, topping 100 yards in his last 14 games and scoring in each one as well. His postseason alone would be an excellent season for any player with the buzz dozer with speed, generating 1,189 yards and 17 touchdowns in five games. That included a 284-yard performance against District 2 champion Lackawanna Trail, a 332-yard, six-touchdown effort against District 3 champion Delone Catholic and a 191-yard outing against state champion Bishop Guilfoyle.

Defenses were stacked to slow him and often knew what was coming, but Johnson still ran over and around defenders at will. The three-time all-state selection also stood out defensively, making 115 tackles and scoring twice on fumble and interception returns. Johnson, who will wrestle at Oklahoma State, helped Muncy win four straight league championships and finished third among area all-time rushers with 6,534 yards and well as 108 touchdowns, good for second all-time.

As dominant as Johnson was, Wommer provided Muncy yet another explosive running back. A jack of all trades, Wommer earned all-state honors as an athlete after excelling in the backfield, at linebacker and on special teams. The three-year starter and two-time all-state selection ran for 1,507 yards and 22 touchdowns, while averaging a whopping 14,8 yards per carry. Wommer also caught 20 passes for 445 yards and scored 29 touchdowns five different ways.

Topping 100 tackles for the second time, Wommer helped solidify the defense and added kick return and punt return scores while finishing with 2,713 all-purpose yards. Wommer finished his high school career with 2,522 yards rushing and his career 13.1 yards per carry is the best among area players with at least 1,000 career yards in the 2000s.

Hampe helped open many of the holes which Johnson and Wommer burst through and earned his second all-state team selection. One of the best linemen in Muncy history, Hampe started for all four seasons and anchored stout units each time. This past year, the 6-foot-4, 295-pounder helped Muncy averaged 47 points and 425 yards per game.

Hampe consistently blew defenders off the ball and helped Muncy generate two 1,000-yard rushers, a 1,000-yard passer and more than 5,000 yards rushing. In each of Hampe’s four years, the Division I recruit helped Muncy produce a 1,000-yard rusher.

Eyer went over 1,000 yards passing the past two seasons in that run-heavy offense but he also quarterbacked a young secondary and earned all-state honors as a defensive back. One of the state’s premier cornerbacks, Eyer intercepted a District 4-high seven passes, returning two for touchdowns. He also was a sure tackler who was tough against both the run and the pass.

Eyer produced a game-clinching interception in a 47-46 state tournament win against Lackawanna Trail after going 3 for 3 for 68 yards and a touchdown on the game-winning drive moments earlier.

McRoberts is the greatest female kicker in area history and added to her impressive resume this season, drilling three field goals and going 38 of 41 on extra points. Also an excellent soccer player, McRoberts highlighted her season when she arrived at halftime of a game at South Williamsport after helping Troy (which co-ops with Canton in soccer) beat Montoursville for the first time ever late in the morning and then kicking a clutch fourth quarter field goal as well as the game-clinching extra point.

Davis enjoyed the best season any Lewisburg running back ever has on his way to Class AAA all-state honors. He broke the program’s single-season records with 2,177 yards, 29 rushing touchdowns and 31 total touchdowns. Like Johnson, Davis was a force at the best time, running for 534 yards and eight touchdowns in two playoff games against Mount Carmel and state semifinalist Danville.

A player who battled back from a torn ACL two years ago, Davis went over 100 yards in 15 of his last 16 high school games, returned two punts for touchdowns and averaged 8.9 yards per carry.
