It was a memorable school year for Redmond and Ridgeview sports, featuring team runs to state quarterfinals in football and softball, as well as individual championships in wrestling, track and golf.

Graduation week serves as a time to look back on some of the senior athletes who were part of the success the schools saw. Here are 10 of the top senior performers.

Joey Brant

Ridgeview soccer

Brant helped the Ravens to a second-place finish in the Intermountain Conference, as well as their first playoff appearance. Not to be outdone, he finished the school year by being named first-team all-High Desert Conference in lacrosse, a team he also helped to the playoffs. Brant plans to play both sports next year for the College of Idaho.

Bunker Parrish

Redmond football

Parrish had an amazing final year for Redmond. The quarterback first led the football team to the state quarterfinals for the second consecutive year (two of only five times in program history), running for 123 yards and three touchdowns in a first round upset of Silverton.

Parrish topped that off by winning the 195-pound title at the state wrestling meet, in his third appearance at Memorial Coliseum in Portland.

McKenzie Bartlett

Ridgeview volleyball

The middle blocker was voted first-team all-IMC as a senior, when she led the Ravens to within two games of the postseason. A member of the Rimrock Volleyball Club, Bartlett will continue playing at Lower Columbia College, a two-year school in Longview, Washington.

Nicky Tsai

Redmond swimming

Tsai became the first Panther to reach the podium twice at the state swim meet since 2002. On Feb. 18, he finished fourth in the 100-yard backstroke and fifth in the 100 butterfly. He came back in 2017 after taking a year off. As a sophomore, Tsai qualified for state as part of the 400 freestyle relay team.

Riley Hanks

Ridgeview tennis

Hanks reached the state tennis tournament each of her four years, but made her largest impact as a senior. She teamed with junior Sierra Cassaro to win third place in girls doubles. The team came up just short in its semifinal match against eventual state champions from Summit.

Mitchell Willett

Redmond wrestling

Willett ended his career with three state wrestling titles. When he won this year’s title in the 152-pound weight class, Willett joined Clarence Seal (1958-60) and Austin Enoch (2005-08) as the only Redmond wrestlers with three state championships.

Willett defeated Wilsonville’s Perry Rodenbeck 7-5 in the in the final this year.

Brook Herrington

Ridgeview softball

The third baseman won her second consecutive IMC player of the year award in 2017. She is also expected to place highly on the all-state team, on which she was named a first-team infielder in 2016.

Herrington batted .493 with 20 RBIs this season. The Ravens won their third consecutive IMC title and advanced to the state quarterfinals. They finished with a 23-4 record.

Tyler Elliott-Johnson

Redmond baseball

Elliott-Johnson went 4-0 in league play, with 67 strikeouts in 37 innings pitched, and was named the IMC’s pitcher of the year. He returned from an honorable mention all-league season in 2016 as one of only two Panther players with significant varsity experience. He helped lead a freshman-dominated team to only one fewer league win than it had last season.

Brent Yeakey

Ridgeview track

Yeakey saved one of the year’s strongest performances for last, taking first place at the state meet in Eugene in both discus and shot put. But it was the district meet where he really stood out. Yeakey’s 190 foot, eight inch discus throw broke a 42-year-old IMC record. His throws there were the best in the state at any level this year in both events. Yeakey won the state title after finishing in the top three at state in discus the previous three seasons. Yeakey will now go to the University of Montana, where he will compete in indoor and outdoor track.

Kaila Fierstos

Redmond softball

One all-league selection wasn’t enough for the Panthers star. Fierstos was named first-team all-IMC in the outfield and second-team at pitcher. It was her second consecutive first-team selection. Fierstos was also named honorable mention all-league as a sophomore.
