Whitney Bays Named State Player Of The Year
Huntington High's
Whitney Bays
has displayed unlimited potential on the court this season as a
junior, creating a buzz that made her one of the most highly-touted
high school girls' basketball prospects in the nation. Bays' talent
and skill level have put her in a class of her own. That's evident
with her selection as the Rat A. Thom award winner as the state
girls player of the year. The award from the West Virginia Sports
Writers Association is named for Russell "Rat" Thom, a respected
former Kanawha County coach and official. She distanced herself from
the competition by receiving more than triple the votes of any other
player. Bays received 58 votes for the award. Summers County player
Emily Blevins was second with 17. The 6-foot-2 Bays is a power
forward averaging a double-double of 25.2 points and 12.5 rebounds
per game.

Based Tournament and had the following finishes:
6th Grade Based Boo Williams
NIT Champions
This is an amazing
accomplishment for the Thunder Program. A big shout out goes to
the players, parents, fans, and coaches in the program. A big
Thunder FIST for two of the top young coaches in AAU basketball
as Shannon Lewis & Scott Johnson had a hand in either helping in
practice or coaching all the teams listed above. Great job
guys!!!!!
