PREPS

Usually I lead with the local prep stories, but today I'm breaking that habit to link to this Seattle Times' story on Franklin's win over Roosevelt in boys 4A action.

See, it seems Franklin coach Jason Kerr is having some issues with his team, so he let them coach themselves Tuesday night. Interesting.

Now back to Spokane-area action, where the coaches all directed their teams last night.

Mike Haugen coached his Prep team to a big Greater Spokane League victory over Shadle Park, tightening the race for second even more. On the girls' side, the Highlander girls put some space between themselves and Gonzaga Prep with their win.

We also had a boys' roundup for Washington and Idaho, along with a girls' roundup that covered both.
