In the final week of the season, the two likely Region 11 MVPs — Green Canyon wing Jude Haigh and Ridgeline guard Emilee Skinner — shone at arguably their brightest and claimed the Boys and Girls Prep Player of the Week awards one more time. It’s the fifth weekly award won by Haigh this year and sixth by Skinner. The Prep Player of the Week awards are presented by BlueSky Restoration and Center Street Grill.
Haigh played in one game last week, scoring 32 points in Green Canyon’s final regular season game, a 63-41 win over West Field. It was his highest scoring game since putting up 49 back in mid-December. The senior wing finished the regular season with an average of 22.8 points per game.
Skinner, for all her dominance as a four-year star at Ridgeline, hadn’t ever eclipsed 40 points in a single game. She did just that in her regular season finale with the Riverhawks, scoring 41 against Mountain Crest, making 17 of 21 field goal attempts while adding nine rebounds, three assists and four steals to the mix.
Candidates for the Player of the Week award were nominated by Cache Valley Media Group staff and voted on by CVMG high school broadcast and sports staff. Tune in to the Full Court Press on 106.9 FM and 1390 AM each week to hear the announcement of the Players of the Week throughout the 2024-25 high school sports year.
