PREPS

If you had a chance to see today's S-R, you know wrestling took center stage – and most of the front page – on this, Prep Page day.

Mike Vlahovich's column features a look at the end of era at Lakeside High, where Scott Jones (pictured; Spokesman-Review photo by Dan Pelle) will be leaving at the end of the year. The wrestling coach's teams have won enough hardware to fill an Ace, as the picture on the cover of the sports section illustrates.

But there are a lot more prep stories today, including, in Washington, a look at the NEA basketball season, a Prep Profile of Colfax's Kylie Shaw and the Quick Hits. Wrestling also leads the local roundup, with Mt. Spokane stopping Gonzaga Prep highlighting Greater Spokane League action.

Wrestling also leads the Idaho Prep Page, with a feature Lakeland High senior Zach Horsley, Greg Lee's column which addresses the recent conversations on his blog, a profile of Bonners Ferry standout Becky Lowther, the Quick Hits with a preview of the Fight for the Fish, and the state basketball rankings.

There's not a lot from around the rest of Washington, but there is this roundup in the Seattle Times, this News Tribune feature on a pair of twins who have achieved swimming success, a Tacoma column addressing the demise of the three-sport athlete, and more discipline issues hit, this time the Jackson High boys team.
