Congratulations to Camas' Chase McGee for being voted SBLive’s Washington High School Athlete of the Week for Dec. 2-Dec. 7!

Short routes or deep shots - it didn't matter with McGee, who hauled in everything thrown his way. And in the WIAA Class 4A championship game, McGee caught a contested 39-yard touchdown, and a traffic-weaving 61-yard score from Jake Davidson in the loss to Sumner. McGee, also the state's record-holder in the boys pole vault, caught nine passes for 144 yards at Husky Stadium - finishing this fall with 77 receptions for 1,445 yards and 24 touchdowns.

McGee received 52.6% of the vote, beating out Sumner running back Steele Isaacs, who finished second with 43.7%.
