This week’s nominees
Aspen Alexander | Lake Stevens baseball
On May 3, the senior shortstop hit one too many doubles for a cycle. The Lake Stevens senior shortstop went 4-for-4 with a home run, a triple and two doubles to go along with five RBI and four runs to take part in all the runs needed for the league-champion Vikings in a 13-4 win over Arlington.
William Alseth | Edmonds-Woodway baseball
The junior pitcher faced just 15 hitters in a run-rule-shortened perfect game, delivering four strikeouts in five inning in a 10-0 victory over Lynnwood on April 28.
Addi Anderson | Stanwood softball
Anderson struck out 11 batters in 10 innings and delivered a go-ahead double in the top of the 10th inning of a 4-1 win over Monroe on May 1 to help the Spartans take over first place in the Wesco 3A/2A North. Anderson (2-for-2, SB, 2 HR, 2 RBI, 4 runs) homered in the third and fourth innings in an April 29 win over Marysville Getchell.
