Here at The News Tribune, we've started planning our prep football section. The season doesn't officially kickoff until August 20 when practice begins, but, hey, is it ever too early to talk football?
Didn't think so.
Like we do every year, we will include a preseason all-state team, class-by-class top-10 rankings and predicted order of finish for the leagues in our coverage area. This is where you -- the fan, player, coach, classmate, parent or friend -- come in.
Give us your picks. Who are the top 10 teams in each class? What teams will win the Narrows League; SPSL North, South and 3A; Western Cascade; Nisqually 2A and 1A; and Evergreen Conference? Who are the best players in the state?
We've got our opinions. We want to know yours.
Renado Parker signed a letter of intent to play basketball at North Idaho College, the school said in a press release on Wednesday.
Parker, a two-time selection on The News Tribune's All-Area team and four-time first-team all-SPSL North pick, graduated as the Chargers' all-time leading scorer. The 6-foot-6 forward averaged a double-double in the 2007-08 season, scoring 21.6 points and grabbing 10 rebounds per game.

Not even at the basketball state tournament can you see this much talent in one place.
Plucked from YouTube, here's a highlight video of the Northwest Panthers-Seattle Rotary AAU game that included a Who's Who in Seattle-Tacoma hoops scene: Abdul Gaddy, Avery Bradley, Peyton Siva, Josh Smith, Tony Wroten and more.
Enjoy.
*Yes, at 3:29 in the video, that is Texas coach Rick Barnes.
