Viltz, DeRooy Win Weekly KingCo Honors

 

Lake Washington’s own Chris Viltz and Woodinville’s Brett DeRooy were selected as the KingCo 4A player and pitcher of the week for the week of March 24-29. 

 

Viltz, a junior outfielder for the Kangs, wins this week's award based on a .667 batting average (4-6) with 3 runs scored and 3 RBI in Lake Washington's two games.  The week included hitting for the cycle in a game against Bothell.  Viltz tripled in the first, homered in the third, singled in the fourth and doubled in the seventh to achieve the rare feat.  For the season, Viltz is hitting .421 with 2 doubles, 2 home runs and 6 RBI.

 

Brett DeRooy, a junior left-hander for the Falcons, is the winner of this week's award, striking out 19 batters in a 4-3 Woodinville win over Eastlake.  DeRooy went the distance, allowing 3 runs on four hits and walking just three to go along with the 19 punchouts.  For the season, DeRooy is 2-1 with a 3.13 ERA and has 30 strikeouts in 15 2/3 innings of work.

 

Congratulations to Chris on a well-deserved award!
