The Lootpress Kanawha Valley Player of the Week Award sponsored by Dutch Miller has arrived! After a successful football season we’ve decided to extend the award to the Kanawha Valley area (Putnam, Kanawha and Boone counties).
Below are the candidates for Week 9 of the boys basketball season. Voting will close Wednesday, Feb. 14 at 11:59 P.M. The fan vote will be used in the event of a tie. There are also changes to the Player of the Week voting pertaining to the top overall vote getter that you can read about here.
VOTES ALONE DO NOT DETERMINE THE WINNER.
In order for a player to be eligible or nominated, the stat keeper or coach must report their nominee as well as supporting statistics (point per game for the week, double doubles, rebounds per game, etc.) to both tylerjackson@lootpress.com and tommybragg@gmail.com. It’s simple and easy and takes no more than five minutes! These statistics must be submitted no later than 10 a.m. on Sunday morning. They cannot be submitted after the poll has gone live. They also need to be from the week listed (next week’s will need to be from games played Feb. 12-17).
Week 7 had two winners as weather led to the postponement of most games throughout Week 6.
- Hunter Toney, Poca – 15 points 6 rebounds vs. Philip Barbour, 7 points vs. Buffalo
- Brayden Whittington, Hurricane – 15 points 8 rebounds vs. Winfield
- Ethan Taylor, Sissonville – 11 points vs. Herbert Hoover
- Ty Stephens, Nitro – 19 points vs. East Fairmont, 20 points vs. Poca
- Elijah Martin, South Charleston – 15 points, 3 rebounds 6 assists vs. Logan
