One player's team is making a deep run in the postseason for the second straight year, and the other's team had a premature end to its season, just like their star.
Kamiakin's Zach Umemoto and Chiawana's Jordan Downing share a lot of traits as hard-nosed running backs and hard-hitting linebackers.
On Monday, they shared one more as both were named MVPs of their respective leagues.

The Kamiakin girls basketball team looks locked and loaded in the early going of the season.
And that spells trouble for fellow Class 3A schools.
Led by Khadidja Toure, who is scoring 23 points per contest in the first five games, the Braves are undefeated and have wins against Chiawana, Richland and Walla Walla -- all schools expected to be in the mix in the 4A.

Preview: Final 4 ultimate goal for Mid-Columbia girls soccer
Seven Mid-Columbia teams reached the 2010 girls state soccer tournament -- Chiawana (4A), Southridge and Hanford (3A), Othello and Prosser (2A), Kiona-Benton (1A) and Warden (2B).
Many of the same players have taken their place on the pitch in 2011. That could tell you one of two things: 1) The players who went to state want to return, and 2) the players who didn't will be even more eager to go.
Either way, area soccer fans are in for an exciting season.

Last year was a banner year for the Kamiakin Braves, which won their first league championship since 1995 and recorded their highest finish at state (third) since 1992.
With twin towers Justin Pedley and Zach En'Wezoh anchoring the low block, some coaches think the Braves could be even better this season.
"Guards can get you to state, but when you get to the (Tacoma) Dome, you're going to face some much bigger teams," Chiawana coach Chad Herron said. "With (En'Wezoh and Pedley), they can hold their own against those teams."
