I've got some South Sound prep sports news and observations to pass on.

-- Auburn Riverside's Amanda Thompson has committed to play basketball at Cal State-Northridge. The 5-foot-9 guard chose the Matadors over Northern Arizona and Pepperdine, according to former Ravens head coach Adam Barrett.

-- Sumner lineman Grant Cisneros has received a scholarship offer from the University of Washington, Spartans coach Keith Ross said. Oregon and Washington State have also shown interest in the 6-foot-4, 280-pound senior.

-- Those three collegiate football programs are likely aware of Lakes freshman Zach Banner, too. At 6-foot-7 and 305 pounds, Banner has the frame to become an elite prospect. Banner hasn't cracked the starting lineup yet, but Lancers coach Dave Miller said he is impressed by the progression Banner has made.

-- Bellarmine Prep's girls soccer team edged Stadium, 2-1, on Tuesday. Here's our story. The Lions and Tigers are a half-game behind Olympia in the Narrows League standings, though Stadium beat the Bears 1-0 earlier this season and Bellarmine Prep visits Olympia next Tuesday.

-- North Mason's girls soccer team ended Olympic's league game winning streak on Thursday, winning 2-1. Abbey Marshall's goal four minutes into overtime lifted the Bulldogs (7-0-1) to the upset.

-- Across the water and up north, Bainbridge High School has eschewed the traditional homecoming dance -- complete with fancy gowns, limousines and big-dollar dinners -- to an informal dance in the gym with pizza, The Seattle Times reports. School officials say it's an attempt to get more kids involved and feel welcome. I think many people will enjoy the ease it puts on their wallets.

-- The WIAA has released its fall sports state allocations.
