Looking ahead to spring and back at All-State basketball

PREPS

Spring is a fun time for prep athletics – there are as many spring sports as there are in fall and winter combined – and part of the "fun" is the havoc weather plays on the schedule.

Take Monday. U-Hi and Shadle Park were scheduled to play a softball game Friday until the poor weather killed that idea. So they played yesterday. Probably in front of a limited crowd, thanks to the short notice.

Anyhow, the Highlanders won, behind the pitching of Sam Skillingstad.

• The Seattle Times and the News Tribune picked their state basketball players of the year (and all-state teams and coaches) today and I have to disagree with a couple of the selections.
