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 was formerly 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.

The first pair of sisters so honored were Emily Ryan (CHS '16) in '13 and Alayna Ryan (CHS '19) in '18,
both for Basketball though they were arguably just as impressive in Soccer.
Others who have now joined in the sibling sweepstakes include ~
Ruby Singleton (CHS '24), Volleyball, and Scarlett Singleton (CHS '23), Cross Country, both in '21.
Alaina Fedder (CHS '23) in '23 joining sister Abby Fedder (CHS '18) in 2018. both for Softball.
Mia Smith (CHS '26) in '25 alongside all-time scoring leader sister Elle Smith (CHS '23) in '22, both for soccer.
Mia Helsel (CHS '26) in '23 and Eve Helsel (CHS '28) in '25 both for Basketball.
Madi McBride (CHS '25) in '24 for Softball and Ellie McBride (CHS '27) in '25 for Volleyball.
Now we have Keilah Glunt (CHS '30) joining sister and recent grad Hannah Glunt (Basketball).
As of Fall 2026 there are five Lady Bison honorees still competing.

Now, just when you think that all the categories are
covered, a new one pops up ~ In the September 10th 2026
edition of the Progress where Keilah was honored, right
alongside was brother Elijah for his gridiron efforts. I'm
pretty sure that this is the first time that a brother and
sister have been simultaneously honored. I'm going to
have to check to see if there some combinations on sep-
arate dates. There have to be some.
