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.

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

If we learned one thing in Week 7, it is this: Skyline is good. Really good.

The top-ranked Spartans walloped previously third-ranked Issaquah 38-0 last week. The Eagles were without a couple key players, but it didn't appear that it mattered.

Skyline's defense has allowed only eight points this season -- the first-string has not allowed any points. The Spartans play Redmond this week before facing Crown Division champion Bothell for the KingCo Championship on Oct. 31.

A few notes about this week's rankings:

-- Kentwood's 24-7 win over Federal Way knocked the Eagles out of the Class 4A Top 10. Taking Federal Way's place is Bothell, which has won five straight since starting 0-2 with losses to Bellevue and Issaquah.

-- Despite losing 27-24 to Ferris, Central Valley remains at No. 6. I couldn't justify dropping them simply because they lost a close game to a very good team.

-- In the 3A rankings, the top seven teams stayed put. Liberty and O'Dea swapped spots because the Irish lost 17-14 in double-overtime to No. 7 Eastside Catholic. Also, Hanford takes North Kitsap's spot at No. 10.

-- All 10 teams in the 2A rankings won, so there are no changes.

-- Montesano took over the No. 3 spot in the 1A rankings after shutting out previous No. 3 Forks, 19-0. Castle Rock and Cascade (Leavenworth) flipped spots.
