This past week, in multiple WV “all-star” games, Tucker County High School was very well represented. With all the success we have been fortunate enough to experience here in Tucker County this last sports season this should come as no surprise.
Softball standout, Ava Shaffer, was selected to play in the Regional Senior All-Star game that was held at Buffalo High School. The event originally began as the North South All-Star game that we are all familiar with from basketball and football. It was changed in 2020 to a region based format. The tournament consisted of 16 players being selected from all four regions. Shaffer was representing TCHS and region 2, and her squad beat region 1 in the first matchup 4-0 and lost to region 3 in the second game 14-13.
Ms. Shaffer was not the only one playing for the black and gold this week, as hardwood standouts Raven Matthews and Trevan Bonner would both suit up for the North squads in the annual North South All-Star basketball game. Matthews girls’ squad would fall to the South to a final of 80-76 while Bonner’s boys’ team would race by the South all-stars with a final score of 119-86. All of these young athletes were treated to skills competitions awards and banquets for all of their high school accomplishments.
