Washington High School student athletes Ellie Quaethem and Michael Andrews have been named the Washington Missourian Athletes of the Week, sponsored by First State Community Bank.
Quaethem, a junior pitcher, helped the Lady Jays to a pair of GAC Central victories with her performance in the circle. She pitched two complete games, going 2-0 with a 1.50 earned-run average and 14 strikeouts in wins over Ft. Zumwalt South and Timberland.
At the plate, Quaethem was 4-7 with one home run and three RBIs.
Andrews, a senior defender and midfielder, has scored goals in Washington’s first three soccer matches of the season, wins over Sullivan and Rolla and a loss to Ft. Zumwalt South. He had a game-winning diving header for a goal in the game against Sullivan.
Andrews has spent equal time at striker and center back, which demonstrates his general ability. WHS Soccer Coach Derek Schriewer said Andrews is one of the top soccer players in the St. Louis area.
