Royal's Jenks named AP Class 1A player of the year

Royal fell two wins shy of four consecutive state championships, however, the Knights were well-represented by the Associated Press’ 2018 all-state high school football team.

In Class 1A, Sawyer Jenks was the player of the year. Teammate Alonso Hernandez was named to the first team on both sides of the ball — running back and linebacker. Wide receiver Angel Farias joined Jenks and Hernandez on the first team and linebacker Jacob Newson was honorable mention.

Almira/Coulee-Hartline quarterback Maguire Isaak was first team quarterback in Class 1B. The Warriors returned to the state championship game earlier this month after winning it all in 2017, but were denied a second consecutive championship by league rival Odessa.

In addition to being named the Central Washington Athletic Conference defensive player of the year, Othello’s Isaiah Perez was recognized statewide and was named an all-state first team defensive lineman. Ephrata’s Josh Benthem was an honorable mention wide receiver.

Union’s Lincoln Victor was named state player of the year for all classifications.
