Congratulations to Lind-Ritzville-Sprague running back Brody Boness for being voted SBLive’s Washington High School Athlete of the Week for Nov. 4-Nov. 9!

What a way to leave the high school ranks! Boness has been a workhorse ball carrier during his entire career, but in his final game against Class 1A Riverside, he rushed 53 times for a program-record 428 yards (and had 504 all-purpose yards as well), scoring six touchdowns in a victory. He is also the school's career rushing leader with 4,419 yards and 65 touchdowns.

Boness received 51.2% of the vote, beating out Anacortes' wide receiver Brady Beaner, who finished second with 28.1%.
