WASHINGTON NOMINEES

Brady Beaner, Anacortes football: As the fill-in quarterback for Ryan Harrington, the Montana commit recorded 409 yards of total offense - 268 passing and 141 rushing - and five touchdowns in one half against Foster as the defending Class 2A champions rolled in state play-in round.

Brody Boness, Lind-Ritzville-Sprague football: In his final game, accounted for 504 yards of total offense, including a program-best 428 rushing yards on 53 carries, scoring six total touchdowns in a victory over Class 1A Riverside.

Cooper Boyle, Tahoma boys cross country: Outkicked a pack of frontrunners that included defending state Ezra Teeples, of Kamiakin, to capture the WIAA Class 4A championship. His time was 14:57.20, the only runner to break the 15-minute mark.
