Big Week(s) for Ferris
Athletes
Since this class of 2008
was a bunch of rug rats the word has always been "That class of kids
is something else." Well, that word is coming to fruition.
With the success in football (the likes of which Ferris has rarely,
if ever, seen), a basketball state championship and another
predicted run in the playoffs, this group of young men - as the
saying goes - just know how to win. With the teams success
comes the individual awards and recognition - along with
opportunities to play at the next level.
This page will be a place
to give some recognition to the successes of the class of 2008.
Congratulations!!!

Shawn Stockton
Signs Basketball National Letter of Intent to
attend University of Montana
November 14th
Today, senior Shawn Stockton made his
intentions known. He will be attending the University
of Montana next year to play basketball at the D1 level.
Stockton was the 4A State tournament MVP last March helping
the Saxons win their basketball state championship.
Shawn is also on the Ferris football team, who is still in
the playoff hunt.
Stockton was recruited by a number of area
colleges and ultimately decided on hoops at the University
of Montana. U of M gives Shawn a chance to play
immediately at the next level and will allow his family a
chance to watch him compete.
University of Montana is in the Big Sky
and currently is picked to win that
conference, which ultimately means a berth into the NCAA
tournament. U of M head coach is Wayne Tinkle who is a
graduate of Ferris High School and attended the University
too setting numerous basketball records.
Congratulations Shawn and good luck!!
Go Griz!! |

WR Jared Karstetter #84 |
Jared Karstetter
Living the dream
Nov 8,Spokesman Review
The decision of Ferris football receiver Jared Karstetter to
become a Washington State Cougars football player was the
fulfillment of a goal.
"It's always been a dream to play in the Pac-10," the
Saxons' three-sport standout said.
Karstetter was last year's Greater Spokane League basketball
MVP, but he said he always liked football more "ever since I
was a kid." Karstetter has 133 pass receptions for 1,859
yards and 21 touchdowns overall. His 54 catches and 765
yards as a junior were third most for a single league season
in both categories. He had the second-most yards, 1,464 over
three GSL seasons.
He said the Cougars told him he would play an outside
receiver. |
