The Kansas Eight Man Football Association coaches met earlier this month at Tescott to select the all-star participants for the 37th Annual Kansas 8-Man All-Star Games. Among the participants selected was Onaga High School's Jason Abitz.
Abitz, a 6'4" senior for the Buffaloes this year was selected 1st Team All-League defensive end back in November. The 200 pounder led the team with 67 tackles this season, and also led the team with 12.5 tackles for loss. He finished tied for first on the team with 4.5 sacks this season, recovered a fumble, blocked a punt, and knocked down two passes in the 2021 season.
On offense, Abitz played tight end for the Buffaloes this season. He was instrumental as a run blocker, and he led the team with 13 catches, averaging over 10 yards per reception, while also hauling in 4 touchdowns. Abitz also served as the team's punter and kicker, averaging over 30 yards per punt and nearly 40 yards per kickoff.
The 8-man All-Star Game will take place on Saturday, June 11th, at Trojan Field in Beloit, KS. Jason will take part in numerous activities during the weekend leading up to the game on Saturday.
Congratulations Jason!!!
