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 Lincoln’s Kerstyn Leggett and RCB’s Xavier Carvelli.
Cougar softball player Kerstyn Leggett was an impressive three for four from the plate in a 14 to 12 loss to Petersburg in the State Softball Tournament.
Flying Eagle pitcher, Xavier Carvelli, came into the regional final against Hampshire. Carvelli pitched five innings, striking out nine batters, and earning the win over the Trojans five to four. The victory propelled the Eagles into the state tournament.
Congratulations to Kerstyn Leggett and Xavier Carvelli for shining bright in the SN and HCJ spotlight!
