Tumwater football player Ethan Kastner voted WaFd Bank Washington High School Athlete of the Week

Congratulations to Tumwater QB Ethan Kastner for being voted SBLive’s WaFd Bank Washington High School Athlete of the Week for Sept. 4-Sept. 9!

If Tumwater was looking to make a statement against No. 1 North Kitsap - it did behind its quarterback, who completed all 10 of his passes for 146 yards and four touchdowns in a 34-14 road victory in Poulsbo. Kastner was also the first leg of a double-pass score in the fourth quarter.

Kastner received nearly 66.8% of the vote, beating out Yelm WR Marius Aalona, who finished second with 31.3% .
