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 Raley Cochran and Kaylin Sipher
The Cougars had a strong showing recently at the WVSSAC state track and field championship in Charleston. Both Raley Cochran and Kaylin Sipher took home titles in the event. Cochran won the 800 m while Sipher was tops in the long jump.
Congratulations to Lincoln’s Raley Cochran and Kaylin Sipher for shining bright in the SN and HCJ spotlight!
