Prep Page is packed with local stories

PREPS

There’s a lot to get through in The Spokesman-Review today, so let’s get started.

Before we do though, I want you let you know I’ll be posting an opinion piece late today concerning club sports competing during high school sports seasons.

But that’s later. Right now Greg Lee previewed the Idaho State 5A boys soccer tournament with a feature about Lake City’s coach Chad Beadell. He looks at the 4A boys through a story on Sandpoint’s team. There’s also a feature on Kootenai’s Ben Shannon, the Quick Hits, Panhandle Picks and the state football rankings.

There’s a similar lineup on the Washington Prep Page, with a feature on Colville’s John Roberts (pictured at right; Spokesman-Review photo), another on Pullman’s volleyball team and Mike Vlahovich’s column on Mead track and cross country coach Dori Robertson competing in the Ironman. There’s also cross country coverage, Quick Hits and a prep roundup.

As always, there’s even more on Greg Lee’s blog and Mike Vlahovich’s blog.

There’s more from around the state as well, including a list of where the Seattle Times top 10 teams are playing this weekend and a story on a big spaghetti feed. There’s also an advance of big volleyball and football games this weekend for Yakima’s Eisenhower High and a story about Bellarmine Prep’s Nicole Cochran who set a course record in the Narrows League girls cross country championships.

And this last story out of Everett about Jackson’s girls soccer win over Montlake Terrace. Krista Kingma scored her 13th goal of the year for Jackson. Kingma also is a pretty good basketball player who shined this summer for the Spokane Stars.

There’s more coming later.
