We will continue to do this when we talk about <strong>West Liberty\u2019s spring football game that will happen tomorrow, Saturday April 22<sup>nd<\/sup> at 1:00 pm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It has been a pleasure seeing some of these local young men play on Friday nights under the lights or in some cases Saturday mornings. I am sure many of you as well as us have fond memories of these guys making big play after big play. It would be nice if you had the chance to go out and support these guys as they continue their football career.<\/p>\n<p>West Liberty even has an outstanding local guy on staff. Johnny Bonar is an assistant coach with the Hilltoppers. This former West Liberty and John Marshall standout returns for his sixth season at his alma mater. A four-year letterman and three-year starter from 2005-2008, Bonar was one of WLU\u2019s most reliable wideouts during his time on the team. Over his career Bonar has caught 89 passes for 1,445 yards and 5 touchdowns. Before joining the Hilltopper&#8217;s staff Bonar helps coach Bishop Donahue for five seasons. There he was selected as a member of the 2015 Rudy Mumley OVAC All-Valley coaching staff.<\/p>\n<p>As for the current crop of local players we have complied a list below and tried to find as much information on them as possible:<\/p>\n<p><strong>3 <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hilltoppersports.com\/sports\/football\/roster\/eddie-mason\/6240\"><strong>Eddie Mason<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Parkersburg, W.Va.\u00a0Parkersburg<\/p>\n<p><strong>2020-21 Season:\u00a0<\/strong>Appeared in one game\u2026Made a catch for 11 yards and returned a kick for 12 yards against Notre Dame (Ohio).
