BUCKHANNON — My Buckhannon is proud to present another season of the Hank Ellis All-Stars, recognizing Buckhannon-Upshur athletes who delivered standout performances across football, soccer, cross country, volleyball and golf.
Each week, one male and one female athlete earn the honor based on their impact, consistency and contributions to their teams.
For the week of Oct. 5–11, the Hank Ellis All-Stars are Madelyn Tucker and Brody McDaniels.
Tucker, a junior on the Buckhannon-Upshur volleyball team, helped guide the Lady Bucs to a perfect 6-0 week, highlighted by a road quad sweep over Class AAAA opponents Hurricane, Oak Hill and Parkersburg. Complete weekly statistics for Tucker were not available at press time, but her play was central to B-U’s dominant stretch.
McDaniels, a senior quarterback on the Buccaneer football team, powered B-U to a 20-0 road victory over Lewis County. He completed 16 of 26 passes for 182 yards and two touchdowns and led the ground attack with 33 yards on eight carries.
Congratulations to Tucker and McDaniels, this week’s Hank Ellis All-Stars.
