It’s that time once again to acknowledge the efforts of Harrison County’s student-athletes. Each week we review the performances of the athletes from the six schools (Bridgeport, Liberty, Lincoln, Notre Dame, Robert C. Byrd, and South Harrison) in our county.
The Shinnston News & Harrison County Journal’s Athlete of the Week award is an avenue to promote the youth of our county while bringing attention to their athletic accomplishments.
The Harrison County athletes in the spotlight this week are Bridgeport’s Haylee Prior and Notre Dame’s Brayden Helmick.
Indian basketball player Haylee Pryor had an impressive week in a pair of setbacks. On Monday, Pryor had a team high 17 points against Lewis County. Pryor netted 18 points and pulled down four rebounds in a loss to Grafton on Thursday.
Fighting Irish hoopster, Brayden Helmick had a solid effort in a loss to Parkersburg Catholic this past week. Helmick recorded a double double, scoring 19 points and he also hauled down 12 rebounds.
Congratulations to Bridgeport’s Haylee Pryor and Notre Dame’s Brayden Helmick for shining bright in the SN and HCJ spotlight!
