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 South Harrison’s Ava Louk and Bridgeport’s Guy Avolio.
Hawk softball player Ava Louk tossed a complete game shutout, helping her team to a win over Bridgeport. In another win against Williamstown, she drove in five runs with three hits.
Indian baseball player Guy Avolio came back from injury and had a grand slam in a victory over Wheeling Park two weeks ago. Last week in six Tribe wins, he was 12 of 17 with four doubles, 11 runs batted in and six runs scored.
Congratulations to South Harrison’s Ava Louk and Bridgeport’s Guy Avolio for shining bright in the SN and HCJ spotlight!
