PREPS

The 3A and 2A basketball tournaments are almost underway – 9 a.m. is the first game start time – in Seattle and Yakima, respectively.

Mike Vlahovich has a story on the East Valley girls’ first trip to State and how they got there. For more, check Mike’s blog.

The Times has in-depth coverage here of the 3A tournament in Seattle, including power rankings of the boys (North Central is last) and girls (East Valley is 10th).

As for the 2A in Tacoma, most of the Tacoma-area teams are in Seattle, so the News Tribune has features on them here, with a little coverage on the 2A tournament.

• Forget this earlier and meant to get it in, but Glenn Nelson of HoopGurlz.com has his Elite 11 rankings for Washington here. Three of the top five teams are from the GSL. By the way, he considers Mead one of the favorites for next year. He also has an advance of the 3A tournament and the 2A.
