Two basketball stars were selected as the latest WyoPreps Athletes of the Week. Big Horn junior Afton Cummins and Thunder Basin junior Gibby Williams are the winter season Week 4 picks. Cummins had a huge week for the Rams and helped them to an undefeated record at a tournament. Williams did the same thing with the Bolts. WyoPreps reviewed performances from the competition week of January 5 through January 10, 2026, and picked these two student-athletes. Previous weeks are not part of the decision.
