Tribune-Herald Athlete of the Week: Waiakea’s Skylar Thomas

The Waiakea senior looks well on her way to earning a second consecutive BIIF Player of the Year honor in Division I softball.

All Thomas did to be honored in this space for the first time was homer in all three games she played in last week, putting up video game-like numbers. In wins against Konawaena, Keaau and Hawaii Prep, the senior shortstop hit 8 for 11 with three home runs, two triples and a double with 13 RBIs and 10 runs scored.
