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.

High school sports news from around the state:

It looks like basketball superstar Tony Wroten might be playing at Renton High School instead of Garfield this year. Wroten is widely regarded as the best sophomore in the nation.

The state cross country coaches' preseason polls have been released. Here are some rankings of note: Gig Harbor's boys are No. 2 and girls are No. 3 in 4A; Charles Wright's boys are No. 2 in 1A; and the Northwest Christian (Lacey) girls are No. 1 in and boys are No. 2 in B.

Our sister paper The Olympian has a few interesting stories:
-- Mary M. Knight will field a football team for the first time since 2004.
-- Here's a story on North Thurston Rams quarterback Joe Hussey.
-- Here's a story on Capital's football-playing twins Riley and Reid Wall.
-- Here's a story on the start of the girls soccer season.

The Spokane Spokesman-Review's Mike Vlahovich has posted this update and this other update on the Greater Spokane League football teams.

Finally, here's more football from The Bellingham Herald. Reporter Joe Sunnen says the Squalicum Storm could shed the label of "basketball school" this season. Squalicum has been reclassified as a 2A school and is the third-largest school in the class.
