LEWISTON,
Idaho -- Lewis-Clark State
College and the Warrior
Athletic Association
released the nominees for
the second annual WAA High
School Awards at a press
conference on Wednesday at
the LCSC Activity Center.
Athletic
directors from 22 area high
school in southeastern
Washington and north central
Idaho selected their
school’s nomination for Male
Athlete of the Year, Female
Athlete of the Year, Coach
of the Year, Team of the
Year, and, a recently added
honor, the Meritorious
Award. The complete list of
nominees is shown in the
table below.
All of the
nominees will be honored on
Oct. 15 at the WAA High
School Awards Dinner. At
this event one individual
from each category will be
announced as the overall
winner. The awards banquet
will be held at the
Lewis-Clark State College
Activity Center starting at
7 p.m.
Tickets for
the banquet are $25 per
person and can be purchased
from the LCSC Athletic
Ticket Office, located
upstairs in the Activity
Center. Tickets also can be
purchased with a credit card
by calling (208) 792-2471.
Those planning to attend the
event and accompany a
nominee are advised to
purchase tickets early
because tickets
bought at the door will be

basis and will be available
seating only.
Now in its
second year, the WAA High
School Awards program is an
event that brings area high
schools and communities
together to congratulate and
encourage regional high
school athletes and teams on
their efforts and
accomplishments.
High schools
ranging from as far west as
Pomeroy, north as Potlatch,
and east as Grangeville
submitted
their nominations based on
no set criteria. From these
nominees, finalists and the
overall winners will be
chosen by officials from
Lewis-Clark State College,
the Warrior Athletic
Association, and area high
school sports enthusiasts.
The finalists
in each of the categories
will be announced Oct. 1.
Last year,
with 21 schools
participating, Orofino High
School’s Ellen Rouse, Kamiah
High’s Clayton Foster, the
Genesee High boys’
basketball team and Asotin
High football coach Sal
Lopez all came away with top
honors.
Major
sponsors of the event
include Lewis & Clark
Orthopaedic Institute, Tyler
& Kelly Motors, and Pepsi.
