SAN ANGELO, Texas — Port Angeles’ Ethan Flodstrom is off to another all-star-caliber college baseball season, this time excelling as a redshirt senior for a second Lone Star Conference school.

The 2020 Port Angeles High School graduate, Wilder Baseball Club alumnus and former Peninsula Daily News All-Peninsula MVP is starring for Angelo State University, the top-ranked NCAA Division II team in the latest D2Baseball Top 25 poll.

A two-time First Team All-Conference outfielder for the University of Texas Permian Basin, Flodstrom was named to the LSC All-Tournament team for his performance on the diamond in 2024 and also was an NCAA Division II Conference Commissioners Association South Central Region Second Team choice.

The Rams are 26-6, 28-6 and in first place in the LoneStar Conference with the league tournament set May 2-4.

Leverington all-league

LACEY — Forks graduate Chloe Leverington earned selection to the Great Northwest Athletic Conference’s 2025 softball academic all-conference team, the conference announced this week.

Saint Martin’s University softball’s primary pitcher, Leverington has pitched in 20 of the Saints’ 28 games, posting an outstanding 13-1 record with one save and a 3.46 ERA.
