The preps blog is designed to fill in the gaps of our high school sports coverage, providing insight into some of the stories and projects we are pursuing, and to serve as a forum to talk about some of the significant high school sports stories happening in our community.

Covering high school sports in Tacoma, Pierce County and the South Sound.

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.
