Congratulations to Bainbridge state-championship pitcher Trey Thompson for being voted as the SBLive’s Washington High School Athlete of the Week for the final time in 2024-25 - this time for May 26-May 31!

With a fastball that touches 90 mph, the junior right-hander and Oregon Ducks commit finished off the spring season in style - clinching a WIAA Class 2A championship on a combined no-hitter. Thompson pitched in six of those seven innings, striking out 13 batters (including three in a row with a pair of runners in scoring position in the fourth inning) in the Spartans' 3-0 victory over No. 1 seed Anacortes in the state championship game in Bellingham.

Thompson received 89.1% of the vote, beating out Northwest Christian of Colbert track standout Colby Shamblin.

We have finished the 2024-25 school season in Washington. In September, we will again start accepting Washington Athlete of the Week nominations for fall sports. Have a great summer!
