LURAY, Feb. 28 — For the third year in-a-row, Luray’s Emilee Weakley was voted the Region B “Player of the Year” in girls basketball, while Tyler Nickel of East Rockingham won the same honor again on the boys side. All-Region selections were announced after Saturday’s championship games, following voting by district coaches earlier this week.
