PREPS

A lot of action Tuesday, above and beyond what I wrote about last night in the post below. Also, if you have any more thoughts on the ninth-grade sports budget-cutting issue in the Spokane schools, feel free to add them here.

For more, check out Mike Vlahovich's Prep Report blog and Greg Lee's Idaho Prep Sports blog.

• The Supreme Court will be hearing arguments on a case that may affect high school sports organizations throughout the country.

• Jackson, Washington's defending 4A baseball champions, lost Tuesday, ending a 36-game (or 35, depending on which paper you trust) winning streak.
