North Kitsap football player Townsyn Walsh and Bremerton girls swimmer Evelyn Bevers have been named the Kitsap Sun athletes of the week for the period of Nov. 2-7.
The winners were selected by readers in an online poll, according to Yahoo Sports.
Athletes are nominated by their respective coaches, and the top vote-getters for both boys and girls are declared the winners.
The poll is sponsored by Kevin Krieger’s Geico office in Silverdale, as reported by the Kitsap Sun.
Walsh, a senior, delivered a standout performance in North Kitsap’s Round of 32 playoff win over East Valley of Spokane.
He recorded 98 rushing yards, two touchdowns and 23 tackles during the contest, per the Yahoo Sports report.
Bevers, also a senior, achieved a career-best time in the 100-yard backstroke while competing in the West Central District meet.
Additionally, she helped three Bremerton relay teams qualify for the state competition, according to the Kitsap Sun.
The weekly recognition highlights local high school talent throughout the season.
Previous winners for the fall season include Kingston’s Wyatt Christensen and South Kitsap’s Carly Lyons for the week of Sept. 1-5.
Other notable honorees have included Olympic’s Brycen Williams, Bremerton’s Josie Campbell, and North Mason’s Remi McFarlane, as documented by local outlets.
The most recent winners, Walsh and Bevers, join a growing list of athletes recognized by the community through the online polling process.
The program continues to track top performances across various sports, including football, volleyball, soccer and swimming, as noted by the Kitsap Sun.
Readers are encouraged to participate in future polls to determine the weekly recipients of the honor.
The initiative remains a staple for recognizing high school athletic excellence within the region, confirmed the outlets.
