BUCKHANNON – My Buckhannon is proud to present another fall season of the Hank Ellis All-Stars. Each week, we will select a male and female athlete at Buckhannon-Upshur who has had an exemplary week on the football field, soccer field, cross country course, volleyball court or golf course.

Our Hank Ellis All-Stars for the week of Oct. 26 – Nov. 2 are Alivia Cogar and Conner McKim.

Cogar is a junior on the Lady Buc volleyball team. Cogar was a key player for B-U in their two regional games at Cabell Midland. In a 3-2 win over Oak Hill, she had a team-high 10 kills to go along with 22 digs and nine assists. In a 3-0 loss to Cabell Midland, she had three kills, seven assists and a team-high nine digs.

McKim is a senior defensive lineman on the Buccaneer football team. On the final play of the game last Friday against Preston, while holding a 60-57 lead, McKim stopped quarterback Slaton Manko at the one-foot line, preserving the win for the Bucs as time expired. For the game, McKim had eight tackles and one tackle for loss.

Congratulations to Cogar and McKim as our weekly winners of the Hank Ellis All-Stars honor.
