The Mid-Columbia Athletes of the Week for November 11, 2011.

Devyn Humphreys, Senior, Walla Walla
Last week had its highs and lows for Humphreys and her Blue Devils teammates.
The Walla Walla volleyball team fell a set short of advancing to the Class 4A state tournament, falling to Central Valley in five sets in a regional tournament match.
We gave it everything we had, Humphreys said. So it was a good bittersweet kind of feeling.
What wasnt bittersweet for Humphreys was beating Richland and then Wenatchee to win the CBBN 4A district tournament late last month.
Beating Richland was something weve been wanting to do for a long time. They are so good, she said. Winning the district championship was just amazing. That was my favorite volleyball memory for sure.
The win against the Bombers was the first in Humphreys three-year varsity career.

Isaac Anderson, Senior, Prosser
Anderson scor-ed three rushing touchdowns and rushed for 108 yards and caught a touchdown pass as the Mustangs wrapped up an undefeated CWAC 2A league title with a 54-6 win at Grandview last Friday.
Now the real season begins for Anderson and his teammates: The playoffs.
Prosser hosts Spokane-West Valley at 1 p.m. Saturday hoping to make up for a poor showing against the last Spokane school it played East Valley, which hammered it in the 2010 quarterfinals.
Were feeling pretty strong, Anderson said. We have a lot of guys whose heads are in it. We have a lot of talent on this team and we are ready to play. Everyone is pumped.
