Xavier Ochoa
The Coupeville Sports “bump” is real.
Maybe.
Mere weeks after being featured on the #1 prep athletic blog in the state (prove it’s not!), Oak Harbor High School senior Xavier Ochoa is pulling in the honors.
The Wildcat hoops star, whose mom Lexi (Boyer) Ochoa once roamed the hardwood for Coupeville, was tabbed as an Athlete of the Week winner Thursday by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.
Xavier, whose dad Danny also wore the purple and gold back in the day, received the honor after racking up 45 points, 26 rebounds, 12 assists, and four steals across two recent games.
Oak Harbor, a 3A school which plays in a highly competitive 1A/2A/3A league featuring state basketball heavyweights such as Lynden Christian, Anacortes, and Lynden, is 3-8 on the season.
In the WIAA writeup, Ochoa was hailed for his “all-around game and leadership.
“(His) consistency, court vision, and defensive tenacity make him a complete player and a key contributor to his team’s success.”
Each week during the school year, the WIAA honors a male and female athlete from each classification (4A, 3A, 2A, 1A, 2B, 1B).
