Washington senate to honor 'the year of the receiver'

If you went to a Chinese restaurant anytime last year, you may have thought that the year 2016 was the year of the monkey. But, according to the Washington state senate, you were wrong. 2016 was the year of the receiver.

On Thursday, Washington senator Michael Baumgartner (R-Spokane) will officially present a resolution to honor seven college football receivers from Washington, including River Cracraft and Gabe Marks, on their historic years. "Giving them this honor is well-deserved and makes it clear that we are proud of these young men as they go off to represent our world-class schools at the next level," said Sen.
