This week’s Cache Valley Media Group Prep Players of the Week features a familiar name and a newcomer to the award. Ridgeline guard Emilee Skinner won her fourth Girls Prep Player of the Week honors of the year with Bear River guard Kaser Thurgood being named Boys Prep Player of the Week for the first time. The Prep Player of the Week awards are presented by BlueSky Restoration and Center Street Grill. Thurgood scored a career-best 28 points for the Bears in their come-from-behind victory 54-53 win over West Field last week. That included hitting a trio of 3-pointers, his second-highest total of the season. He also tied for the team high in steals (two) and led the team in blocks (also with two). Skinner continued her dominance this season to help Ridgeline stay undefeated this season. She recorded her third and fourth consecutive 30-point games against Sky View and Mountain Crest, including a double-double against the Bobcats where she had 34 points, 12 rebounds and eight steals to lead the Riverhawks to victory. 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
