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 Notre Dame’s Aada Lyn Murray and Lincoln’s Cole Vincent.
Fighting Irish basketball player Aada Lyn Murray helped her team to a win over Valley Wetzel. Murray scored a team-high 22 points and grabbed five rebounds.
Cougar hoopster Cole Vincent had an impressive week. This past Monday, he hit for 25 points including the game winner with just over three seconds remaining in a regional victory over Braxton County. Vincent scored a game-high 15 in a loss later in the week at East Fairmont. He also pulled in four rebounds and recorded four steals against the Bees.
Congratulations to Aada Lyn Murray and Cole Vincent for shining bright in the SN and HCJ spotlight.
