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 Alex Greene and Jacob Bart.
The Lincoln Cougars punched their ticket to the baseball state tournament this past week. Alex Green and Jacob Bart were contributors to their success.
Green had at least one hit in all the games and was six of eight with three home runs on the week.
Bart earned a pair of wins on the mound, pitching 11 innings of scoreless baseball. Bart also struck out 15 batters in his two games combined.
Congratulations to Lincoln’s Alex Greene and Jacob Bart for shining bright in the SN and HCJ spotlight!
