Johnson, Ryan Win First KingCo Weekly Awards

 

Inglemoor’s Jeff Johnson and Juanita’s Robby Ryan were selected as the first KingCo 4A player and pitcher of the week for 2008.  The first week’s awards encompassed games from March 10 – March 21.

 

Johnson, a senior outfielder for the Vikings, won the KingCo 4A Player of the Week award finishing the four game stretch with a .636 batting average (7-11) with 7 runs scored and 8 RBI.  Four of Johnson's seven hits went for extra bases - two doubles, a triple and a home run.  His contributions helped the Vikings start the season a perfect 4-0. 

 

Ryan, a sophomore left-handed pitcher for the Rebels, made two appearances in Juanita’s first four games.  His debut came in relief against Ballard, where he allowed 2 earned runs over four innings to pick up the win.  Ryan followed that up by tossing a no-hitter against Garfield in his first Varsity start, striking out 15 batters while walking just one.  For the two-week period, Ryan pitched 11 innings, allowing 3 hits and 2 runs, walking 2 and striking out 18.  He finished the four game stretch with a 1.27 ERA, helping Juanita to a 3-1 start.
