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 Grace Fortney and Bridgeport’s Aryon Dodd.
Cougar basketball player Grace Fortney helped her team to a win over North Marion last week. Fortney scored 20 points and handed out six assists in the win.
Indian hoopster Aryon Dodd had a big week, leading his team to a pair of wins. Dodd scored 21 points and grabbed right rebounds against Buckhannon-Upshur. He followed that effort with a 31-point seven rebound performance against RCB.
Congratulations to Lincoln’s Grace Fortney and Bridgeport’s Aryon Dodd for shining bright in the SN and HCJ spotlight!
