LOGAN — Mountain Crest boys basketball forward Kaden Hess and Ridgeline girls basketball guard Emilee Skinner have been named the Boys and Girls Cache Valley Media Group Prep Players of the Week, Presented by McDonalds, for the past week.

Hess played every minute of Mountain Crest’s upset win over Logan, the No. 3 team in the RPI. He scored 20 points, grabbed nine rebounds and had five steals plus two blocks to help the Mustangs get revenge for a triple-overtime loss to the Grizzlies in the first game of region play nearly a month ago.

Skinner led the way for the Riverhawks in a 2-0 week featuring wins over Green Canyon and Skyridge. She scored 18-plus points in both games, averaging 20.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 4.5 steals and 2.0 blocks in the two-game span.

Other nominations for this week’s awards included Liam Guthrie (Sky View boys) Gehrig Marble (Bear River boys), Jared Anderson (Green Canyon boys), Jordan Child (Logan boys), Carson Cox (Ridgeline boys), Karlee Allen (Sky View girls), Shelby Wilkinson (Bear River girls) and Janalynn Blotter (Green Canyon girls).

Tune in to the Full Court Press on 106.9 FM and 1390 AM each Tuesday at 4:25 p.m. to hear the announcement of the Players of the Week throughout the 2023-24 high school sports year.
