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.

Heading into Week 7, here are the rankings:

-- Woodinville and Graham-Kapowsin fell out of the 4A rankings, making room for Federal Way and Gig Harbor. The Eagles have looked awfully good lately and the Tides are playing as well as any team. They've probably been good enough to crack the top 10 before this week, but here they are now.

-- The biggest game in the state this week is in Issaquah,where the No. 2 Eagles host No. 1 Skyline. Did you know that Spartans coach Mat Taylor is an Issaquah graduate and former Issy coach? For what it's worth, Issaquah is also my alma mater, while my sister was a valedictorian in Skyline's first graduating class (1999).

-- North Kitsap beat Capital and has returned to the 3A rankings, replacing Meadowdale after the Mavericks lost.

Former Auburn Riverside girls basketball coach Adam Barrett has founded a club basketball team in Utah. His team is called the Utah Swoosh.

Barrett hosted a "showcase" on Saturday and about 70 girls, including five Auburn Riverside players, attended, The Deseret News reported.

Barrett, who coached the Ravens to back-to-back Class 3A state titles in 2007 and 2008, unexpectedly left the program this summer to pursue other coaching opportunities.

Looks like he found one.
