Scott Mayle was a naturally gifted athlete who made the most of his talent though hard work and dedication, eventually earning professional contracts in the National Football League. During the years that he donned the Columbia Blue and White at Philip Barbour, he set several records that continue to stand today. While Scott lettered in both basketball and baseball, it was in football and track and field that he became well known across the region and state.
During three years of varsity play on the gridiron, Scott accumulated 3788 yards rushing to go with 39 touchdowns. He was also perhaps the most dangerous kick return specialist in the state from 1999 to 2001. Scott was named Big Ten Conference Co-Player of the Year in 2000 and 2001, and earned all-state and all-state recognition during his career, leading the Colts to a Number 13 state ranking his senior season.
In track and field at PB, Scott Mayle won four state championships, including the long jump (twice), the high jump and the 100 meter run. He was honored in 2002 with the Ray McCoy Award, presented annually by West Virginia sports writers to the top male track and field athlete.
Scott went on to an outstanding two-sport athletic career at Ohio University. In football, the wide receiver/kick returner ranked fourth all-time in career receptions, second in receiving yardage and third in touchdown receptions, as he helped lead the Bobcats to a MAC championship game and a 2007 appearance in the GMAC Bowl. He was also acclaimed as a world-class long jump specialist, earning spots in the NCAA Championships in 2006 and 2007. In his senior year, he was ranked fourth in the world during the indoor season.
Following college, Scott experienced life in the NFL. In 2007, he was signed as a free agent by the Buffalo Bills for parts of two seasons, later signing on with the Kansas City Chiefs organization in 2008. Scott is the son of Hiram and Rosa Mayle of Philippi. He has returned to his roots, where he, his fiancé, Johnna Upton, and daughter, Amilia Mayle, call Philippi home.
