My Buckhannon is proud to present another year 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 basketball court, swimming pool or wrestling mat.
Our Hank Ellis All-Stars for the week of Jan. 12 – Jan. 18 are Madelyn Tucker and Jerin Westfall.
Tucker is a sophomore on the Lady Buc basketball team. She helped B-U to their first win of the year with a 20-point, 13-rebound effort in a 58-43 victory over Robert C. Byrd. She followed that up with 11 points and eight rebounds in a 57-44 victory over Sissonville in a perfect 2-0 week. She averaged 15.5 points per game and 10.5 rebounds per game during the week.
Westfall is a senior on the Buccaneer basketball team. In a 67-57 home win over Wheeling Park, he scored his 1,000th career point. He had a game-high 34 points and 14 rebounds to go along with six assists in the Wheeling Park win. In a loss to Robert C. Byrd, he tallied 23 points and 17 rebounds, averaging 28.5 points and 15.5 rebounds in the two contests.
Congratulations to Tucker and Westfall as our weekly winners of the Hank Ellis All-Stars honor.
