When last sighted in Spokane, Gary Peterson was stuffing the middle as Inglemoor was stuffing Gonzaga Prep on its way to the 1993 Kingbowl. It appeared the junior linebacker was on his way to the big things. Then he learned a lesson in the classroom - a hard lesson.

There's a little bit more than pride on the line tonight in the 20th annual High School Coaches All-Star Basketball doubleheader at Gonzaga University. Six players will be named to the Washington team that will take on Oregon Saturday night in Portland. Four players have already been selected and will play tonight - Will Hutchens of Dayton, Tarik Brown of Mercer Island, Jason Perry of O'Dea and Jason Terry of Franklin.

Last month's vote by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association executive board to move the state championship football games from the Kingdome to the Tacoma Dome doesn't mean the hard decisions are over. In fact, before the executive board made its decision, the phones started ringing in the WIAA offices and they haven't stopped yet.

Low wages and the need for medical attention are driving Ken Griffey Jr. out of town. No, the injured superstar isn't leaving the Seattle Mariners - angry taxpayers who don't want to finance a new stadium and squabbling millionaires may cause that soon enough - but he is cutting short his stay in Spokane.

The Spokane Shadow, chomping at the bit after a long layoff, hope to chow down on Yakima tonight when they make their official home debut. The fledgling amateur team in the professional United Systems of Independent Soccer League plays the Yakima Red at 7 at Spokane Falls Community College.

Kristen Parrish will return, not to defend her 800-meter title but to take it back. The Ferris junior was badly beaten in defense of the title she won here last year, but after the disappointment-turned-relief tumbled away, she vowed to be back.

Micah Davis and Skiy DeTray ran until it hurt, but at the end they were feeling no pain as the Mead stars cracked the 9-minute barrier in a stirring, photo-finish 3,200-meter run Saturday night, highlighting another terrific day for Greater Spokane League athletes at Star Track XIII. Davis nipped DeTray, 8:58.34 to 8:58.35, reversing their 1,600 finish of a night earlier, and powering the Panthers to their second straight team title.

They saved the best for last, from Allison Beatty's final throw in the javelin to the University girls 400 relay team to Mead's dominating one-two punch of Skiy DeTray and Micah Davis in the boys 1,600 meters. During a blazing afternoon and perfect evening for Star Track XIII at Lincoln Bowl on Friday, Greater Spokane League track and field athletes won three championships, got most of the points they expected plus a few more and pushed potential champions through the preliminaries.
