C.J. Fleming had an excellent junior season for Highland Springs and was no doubt one of the most important pieces in the Springers’ district title run and subsequent playoff berth. A Richmond Times-Dispatch first-team all-metro performer at cornerback, the 5-11, 175-pound standout finished with 39 tackles, had 8 pass break-ups and 6 interceptions. And, according to head coach Scott Burton, Fleming is “probably the hungriest kid that we’ve ever coached here in terms of that he wants success.”

So right now I’m lifting weights and running track to try to get better and prepare myself for next year. You always can get better. I’m still working on a whole lot of things. There are a lot of things I can get better at.”
