Greg Peach
EWU football
The senior defensive end set an Eastern Washington University single-season record for sacks with 16 when he chased down the quarterback twice against Northern Colorado last Saturday, Nov. 8, in a 31-16 road victory. His 33 1/2 career sacks is also a school record, and he has two more games to add to his total with matchups against Big Sky Conference opponents Northern Arizona, Nov. 15, in Cheney and Weber State, Nov. 22, on the road.
Jeremy Pargo
Gonzaga basketball
Jeremy Pargo was named to the preseason watchlist for the John R. Wooden award, the most prestigious honor in college basketball. It’s given to the best player in the land, and after averaging 12 points, six assists and four rebounds a game last year, there’s no real surprise that Pargo is in the spotlight for this award. He was named the WCC Player of the Year in 2007-2008, which is the eighth-straight year a Bulldog has won that honor.
Holly Tomlin
Whitworth volleyball
The senior from Kirkland, Wash., had a career-high 18 kills in her last game as a Whitworth Pirate for the volleyball team. Finishing the season with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Linfield College, the Bucs finished with a 14-14 record overall and a 7-9 Northwest Conference mark.
