Lady Bison Sports "Athletes - of - the - Week"
ladybisonsports.org
Present ~
Each week, more or less, when schools are in session, The Progress daily newspaper & Jim's Sports Center
team up to confer the "Athlete-of-the-Week" honor on a pair of kids, one boy & one girl, from "Progressland."

When a Lady Bison Athlete is chosen we post it here as well. I've tried to accumulate all of them from
the very beginning. I think we have them all now, but let me know if there are any we've missed.

The context: As I'm sure most visitors to this site are aware, Derek & Sloan are
husband and wife and both are on the faculty at Clearfield Junior-Senior High School.
Derek is currently the Lady Bison Softball Head Coach and Sloan was formerly
LB Volleyball Head Coach. This was Derek's only appearance as "Athlete-of-the-Week"
while Sloan was featured five times, three times for Volleyball and twice for Softball.
Her five times to be so honored seems to be the most appearances by any one
athlete. Her younger sister Leann Bell was also honored twice.
The above entry is from Spring 2008 when Derek was playing Baseball at
C.H.S. and Sloan was a Softball standout at West Branch.
Small world we have going here.

With Alayna's honors the number of Lady Bison Athletes on the list now stands at sixty-nine.

The 69 mentions are distributed among all the Lady Bison Sports as follows ~
Basketball - 
Cross Country - 
Golf - 
Soccer - 
Softball - 
Tennis - 
Track - 
Volleyball - 
The first sisters so honored were Emily Ryan
(CHS '16) in '13 and Alayna Ryan (CHS '19)
in '18, both for Basketball though they
were equally impressive in Soccer.

They were then joined in the sibling sweepstakes
by Ruby Singleton (CHS '24), Volleyball, and
Scarlett Singleton (CHS '23), Cross Country, both in '21.

Now we have Alaina Fedder joining sister Abby,
also for Softball and who was named in 2018.

- 70 honors among 69 recipients because Allison
   Shipley was simultaneously honored for her accomp-
   lishments in two sports in the same season; Golf &
  Soccer during the Fall 2021 sports season.
For ten years the only Lady Bison to have been honored
twice was B.J. Bowman (CHS '12) in '09 for Soccer and
in '12 for Softball.  She was joined by Emma Hipps
(CHS '22) in '18 for Soccer and '21 for Softball,
Allison Shipley (CHS '22) in '21 for Golf & Soccer and
Elle Smith (CHS '23) for Soccer in '19 & '22.

Anyone who has ever seen any of these girls
play their sports knows very well why.
