PREPS, updated

The fall sports season doesn't get much busier around here than the last couple of weeks. But as a few of our football teams fall by the wayside and volleyball and soccer wrap up in the next couple of weeks, things will slow down momentarily until ... basketball starts at the end of the month.

Not much transition between seasons. In fact, girls basketball in Idaho tips off this weekend.

Click the tab below to see the various prep things in Thursday's newspaper.

NOTE: I will be tweeting updates from the 4A and 3A football doubleheader Friday at Albi Stadium. You can follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/SRpreps

FEATURE: Here's a feature on Mead's Zalopany sisters, who played soccer before picking up volleyball late. They're pictured above. Here's a glance at the six state tournaments, with 4A and 1B beginning today.

GREG LEE COLUMN: University running back Jory Zettle has settled in nicely in the classroom and on the field this year.

FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS: We feature three games below.

PLAYOFF FOOTBALL PREDICTIONS: I had a rough go last week, going 3-3. But I'm 44-16 overall. Here are this week's picks
