Winners of the Treasure Valley athletes of the week (Jan. 28-Feb. 2)
The tightest athlete of the week races yet concluded Wednesday with winners hailing from Eagle and Liberty Charter.
Eagle sophomore Riggin Stone (48 percent) edged Borah senior Sebastian Peterson (47 percent) for the top honors in wrestling after 7,127 votes were cast. Stone rolled through the Dick Fleischmann Duals in Pocatello last week, going 7-0 and winning every match by a pin, technical fall or major decision.
Senior Meghan Boyd earned Eagle another athlete of the week honor by taking 85 percent of the vote in girls basketball. The Denver signee averaged 23 points, eight rebounds and two assists through the first two rounds of the 5A District 3 tournament to lead the Mustangs to the championship game for the third year in a row. Eagle faces Mountain at 7 p.m. Friday at Timberline for the top seed in the state tournament.
Two 1A Division I rivals duked it out for the boys basketball athlete of the week. But in the end, Liberty Charter senior Cole Hinnenkamp won with 66 percent of the 5,224 votes cast. The future Northwest Nazarene track athlete racked up 28 points and eight rebounds while shooting 65 percent from the floor against Ambrose last week.
