Ferguson is WIAA athlete of the week

Hank Ferguson, a senior from Wahkiakum High School, was nominated by a community member and selected last week by Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association staff as one of the Athletes of the Week for achievements in football on September 9.

Ferguson carried the ball 17 times for 173 yards and two touchdowns, to help secure a shutout against Ocosta. He also led the team in tackles with 14.

In recognition of their accomplishment, each Athlete of the Week winner receives a congratulatory letter from WIAA Executive Director, Mike Colbrese, a commemorative WIAA State Athlete of the Week t-shirt, and a certificate. Winners are also posted to the WIAA website at http://www.wiaa.com.
