The Prep Blog
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.

Doug Pacey joined The News Tribune in 2007 after covering prep sports at The Bellingham Herald for five years. He graduated from Issaquah High School in 1998 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Kansas in 2002. E-mail Doug.

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

A week ago I asked for your take on the upcoming high school football season. Some of you posted your predictions on the blog and others e-mailed me what they thought. Thanks for your comments.

Since we're gearing up for the fall season, I thought I'd post a little reminder that the South Sound's leagues have taken on dramatically new looks since the spring.

Here's a quick rundown:

-- North Kitsap has left the Narrows League for the Olympic League and Shelton has joined.

-- Auburn and Auburn Riverside have been reclassified as 4A schools and are the newewst members of the SPSL North.

-- To even out the SPSL North and South, Decatur is now part of the SPSL South.

-- After losing Auburn and Auburn Riverside, the SPSL 3A added former Western Cascade Conference schools Lakes and Clover Park and ex-Olympic League member Peninsula.

What do these changes mean for the leagues? Can Auburn's football team go to state for the fourth year in a row? Will Lakes' football squad dominate the SPSL 3A the same way it did the Western Cascade Conference? How will the new league alignments affect volleyball and girls soccer teams?
