PREPSA lot of action Tuesday, above and beyond what I wrote about last night in the post below. Also, if you have any more thoughts on the ninth-grade sports budget-cutting issue in the Spokane schools, feel free to add them here.Our Washington roundup is here,…
COLLEGE SPORTSIt's not often when a school has a person elected to any college hall of fame. But it is a true rarity when two people from the same school are elected the same year.Such is the case with Washington State. In only the second…
WHLTwo Chiefs are continuing to play hockey even after Spokane's season has ended.Sean Zimmerman is playing for the Lowell, Mass., the New Jersey Devils' American Hockey League affiliate.Center Ondrej Roman will be at the Under-18 World Championships in Finland, playing for the Czech Republic.••••••••••The Everett…
MARINERSThe M's have been playing .667 baseball since the season began (and if you win two-third of your games, you will win a lot of pennants), though a 2-1 record after the first week isn't anything to get excited about.They are in second place though.…
EAGLES, HUSKIESEastern Washington opened spring football Monday with some new coaches – including a new offensive coordinator – and a new attitude.Dave Trimmer took a look at all of that in this story, though the focus is on new OC Todd Sturdy.Aside: Isn't that a…
PREPSIf you had time this morning to read my column in the S-R, you may have realized I was expanding on a post I put up here a few days ago.After some research about state reimbursement of tax dollars and conversation with educators, it seemed…
MASTERSI'm a pretty big golf guy. I enjoy playing, though I'm not very good. I enjoy watching, especially the majors. And especially the Masters.There is just something about Augusta National and the spring-time tournament that gets my blood flowing. When the snow is deep, the…
SUNDAY AFTERNOONIf you hadn't noticed, I took today off to spend Easter with the family – and the Masters.It was nice to see someone new win at Augusta for a change. Did anyone else think Tiger was upset with Steve Williams at 17 after Tiger's…
SHOCK The big news of the first half was the missing chains were found, which takes out the fan participation of holding the broom handles that served as markers.It's a good thing too. Because they need the brooms to sweep up all the yellow flags…
SHOCK Here in the Arena – Shock Central – we've already been treated to some trash talking that escalated into some pushing, shoving and all-around mayhem.Seems that Steamwheeler star wide receiver Kris Peters and some of the Shock quick guys like Antwone Savage and Rob…
SHOCKWe will be at the Shock game tonight – if I have a press pass, which I'm not sure of yet – with comment concerning the showdown with No. 3-ranked Quad Cities.Jessica Brown covered tonight's battle (5 p.m.; KHQ-6) with the Steamwheelers in her preview…
COUGARSWashington State held its second-to-last spring scrimmage yesterday in Martin Stadium.And what did the coaching staff learn?There will be a lot of work to be done in the fall. As we've covered here before, the Cougars are thin right now. And downright Manute Bol-like in…
HUSKIES FOOTBALLThere was some big news out of Montlake yesterday, with Tyrone Willingham naming Jake Locker the No. 1 quarterback.Well, sort of. According to this Times' story, this one from the P-I, this News Tribune story and this one from Everett, Willingham said redshirt freshman…
MARINERSNo game yesterday – a travel day – and probably no game today – see the post below – and, if the M's do play, probably no Yuniesky Betancourt today either – see this story.But there are stories worth reading. Today's hot (or, if it…
COLLEGE BASKETBALLThere was a ton of college basketball news Thursday, with the coaching roulette spinning wildly and one guy deciding not to join the endless gyrating this year. But the area's biggest news in the men's ranks was the University of Idaho losing highly touted…
COUGARSJust got in from Pullman and thought I would share a few thoughts about the spring football practice today.But first, wanted to share the news that WSU women's basketball coach Sherri Murrell has resigned after five years leading the Cougs.As for spring football? Well, watching…
MARINERSSome of you just might have held out hope. You were thinking sweep, weren't you? Well, Rich Harden and Miguel Batista took care of those thoughts in a hurry.Comcast did broadcast the game in high-definition for you digital cable subscribers (channel 664) but Batista's performance…
MARINERSIf Opening Day is a major league team at its best – No. 1 starter, amped hitters, etc. – then day two is a major league team at its average.At least Mariners' fans are hoping so. Because if Tuesday night was the M's just being…
COLLEGE SPORTS UPDATED: 5:45 P.M.Glenn Kasses is back in town and back at Cougar football practice.He's got this story concerning the Cougars' offensive line, and the one big hole assistant coach George Yarno has to fill.He'll also have more on his blog today.•UPDATE: Missed this…
MARINERS UPDATED: 4:15 P.M.If you had a chance to read my column today, you caught glimpses of what I thought of Felix Hernandez's performance yesterday. As a smart old baseball man I know used to say all the time, "if they don't score, you can't…
MARINERSFelix Hernandez was about as it gets today, with a 12-strike out, three-hit shutout of the A's, 4-0, to open the 2007 season.You can read the Times' web story here.The best part of Monday's win? The Mariners can equal last year's win total vs. the…
MARINERS, MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALLWhat a list of games to watch today – and if Extra Innings was still on Comcast with a free week … my butt would just be glued to the Laz-E-Boy.Still, here's the schedule we ran today:10 a.m.: Devil Rays at Yankees…
COLLEGE SPORTSHere's my agenda for today: Watch as many baseball games as I can, then watch the NCAA championship.Does this correspond with yours? There have been many times in my life – OK, twice – when I took the day off work, plopped down at…
MARINERSWith the Major League baseball kicking off today with one game, and everybody else starting tomorrow, just about every newspaper in the nation picked April Fools Day as the right one to preview the upcoming season. (Any message in that?)But this post is about Seattle's…
