This week we have two athletes of the week, both from eight-man football.

Andy Johnston, Quilcene

Quilcene’s Andy Johnston had an incredible game for the Rangers in their 66-26 dismantling of Tacoma Baptist.

Johnston had three touchdown passes of 25, 37 and 47 yards, an intereception and 34-yard runback, an onside kick recovery, eight solo tackles and four kick returns for 178 total yards.

Johnston is one of the big reasons the Rangers are 5-0 and ranked No. 3 in the state.
