The athletes of the week are selected by The Herald staff with input from local head coaches.
Jason Shevenko
Mountlake Terrace | Baseball
Shevenko pitched a complete game four-hitter on Friday to lead the Hawks to a 3-1 win over Shorewood. It was the Thunderbirds’ first loss of the season.
Allison Endreson
Jackson | Softball
Endreson made two stellar plays in the outfield in Friday’s 3-1 win over Monroe. She ran down a ball in deep center field to lead off the Monroe fifth inning that would have gone for extra bases and she made another running catch in right-center field in the seventh inning, quickly firing the ball back to first base to double up a Monroe baserunner. Both plays helped preserve a win for Jackson.
