All State Football L-R - Jeremy Conley (Special Honorable Mention-LB) Danny Slider (2nd Team-DE) and Randy Fluharty (1st Team-RB) Photo courtesy of Calhoun High School By Gaylen Duskey realfang@citlink.net Junior tailback Randy Fluharty was named to the West Virginia Sports Writers Class A All-State team. Fluharty, who was also an all-LKC selection, was one of three Red Devils honored with all-state mention but he was the only first team member, as Danny Slider was a second team selection as a defensive lineman and Jeremy Conley was an honorable mention as a linebacker. Both Slider and Conley were all-LKC picks as were Nick Stevens and Chris Mace, although neither Mace nor Stevens receive any all-state mention. Fluharty led Calhoun and the Mid-Ohio Valley region and was second in the state in rushing with 2,039 yards. He also had 21 touchdowns for the Red Devils. Fluharty is a junior. He kept the Red Devils' streak of all-state players alive. Last season Nick Whytsell and Jeff Goodrich were first team all-state performers. The year before Paul Goodrich was all-state on both offense and defense, which is a rarity. Calhoun's football team went 7-4 this season and made the playoffs before being eliminated in the first round by Weirton Madonna.
