Lake Quinault’s Ferry named 1B Coastal Offensive MVP
Lake Quinault Elks quarterback Jesse Ferry was named the 1B Coastal League (6-man) Offensive MVP for leading the Elks in more ways than one this season.
Ferry led the Elks to wins over Wishkah Valley and Mary M. Knight while under center but then moved to running back due to injuries that caused Elks head coach Melvyn Houtz to move some chess pieces around.
In a 56-14 win over the Washington School for the Deaf, Ferry rushed for 320 yards on 23 carries and scored six touchdowns to lead Lake Quinault to the victory.
