What happens in Leavenworth doesn’t always stay in Leavenworth.
Coming off a stellar performance at the Cascade Holiday Classic, Coupeville High School junior basketball star Logan Downes has been recognized by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.
Praised for his play in leading the Wolf boys’ hoops team to two wins and a tourney title, Ralph and Angie’s youngest son was named a WIAA Athlete of the Week.
It’s the second time this school year a Coupeville athlete has been recognized, with Downes following in the footsteps of Wolf football player Dominic Coffman.
Winners receive a letter of recognition, a certificate of achievement, and a $25 DICK’S Sporting Goods gift card.
In the game right before the trek to Snowsville, USA, Downes went off for a career-high 33 points in a road win at Forks.
He also snatched 10 boards against the Spartans, then brought the heat in Leavenworth.

Coupeville swept Kittitas and Manson to claim the title, with Downes scoring 30 and 24.
Not just a shooter, he racked up 13 rebounds across the two games, while also drawing several offensive charging fouls on rival players while scrambling on defense.
Downes has poured in 204 points across the first nine games of the season, averaging 22.7 a night for a new-look Wolf team which sits at 5-4 after a tough non-conference schedule.
The Wolves, who have won five of their last seven games, open Northwest 2B/1B League play Friday at home, welcoming Orcas Island to town.
Tip-off is 5 PM, with the varsity girls playing at 3:30.
