PREPS

First a pat on the back to the on-line folks at The Spokesman-Review (hey, that's us) for the fine work on the State 2B website. If you are a fan of the small school tournament, there's very little you could ask for that's not available at the site – except for one of the German sausages.

The games are all covered there, but here are the links to the newspaper's coverage in print, with the boys' action here (along with the recap of every game) and the girls' games here (along with the recap of every game).

• There is only one local school at the 1A tournament, and you can find the Colfax girls story here. The Bulldogs routed Seattle Christian and will face Naches Valley at 7:30 tonight.

• Of course there are the stories Mike Vlahovich wrote out of here (and by here, I mean at the 4A basketball tournament in Tacoma), with the Ferris' boys winning easily and all three Greater Spokane League girls' teams doing the same.

Here is the schedule for today, with all games on 790-AM in Spokane: The Lewis and Clark girls (23-3) kick off the day with a 3:30 p.m. showdown with undefeated Roosevelt (24-0). Mead (22-6) follows at 5 against another undefeated team, Kentwood (26-0). The Ferris boys (26-0) face Redmond (14-12) at 7, and U-Hi (24-2) ends the night against Bothell (16-8) at 8:30.

• The Seattle Times' prep basketball coverage is here, the News Tribune's coverage is here and the P-I's here.

• In 2A action Wednesday, the Clarkston girls handed Pullman its first loss of the season in the District 7 2A championship game at EWU.

• In Idaho boys' state tournament action, Coeur d'Alene Charter won its first 1A game, defeating Murtaugh 72-65 to advance to the quarterfinals.
