Darrington senior Sophie Ross has earned WIAA/Gesa Credit Union Athlete of the Week recognition after helping the Loggers win their Class 1B tri-district volleyball championship.
WIAA included Ross among the 2026–27 season’s Week 10 honorees. The association credited her with more than 30 kills, 30 digs and 10 blocks across Darrington’s three tournament victories.
The Loggers beat Grace Academy, Neah Bay and top-seeded Fellowship Christian on their way to the title. The official tri-district bracket records a 3–1 championship win over Fellowship Christian on Nov. 7. WIAA says the run secured Darrington’s fifth consecutive state appearance and the No. 2 seed.
Darrington also brought home a fifth-place state finish on Nov. 12. The Loggers beat Valley Christian 3–1 and Almira Coulee Hartline 3–0 in their final two matches in Yakima. Our state tournament recap has those results and the full tournament context.
