WIAA lists the achool as 2B with population of 147. The school did have a good boys soccer team this spring, that had to forfeit a state playoff game due to an ineligible player. Sucked, as they were to play Brewster for a trip to the final four. It would have been a great match. WIAA lists the achool as 2B with population of 147.

Yes, there are some league MVPs and first-team all-league players from Snohomish, King and Pierce counties not on the all-state first team. That's because there are worthy players in other regions of the state. This is an all-state team, not an all-Puget Sound team.

Curtis was up 3-0 with 28 minutes to play. Rogers came back with three in less than four minutes, and then the winner with three minutes left in the game. It was a hugely entertaining game. http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/preps/2009/04/25/prep_zone_saturday_edition_2#c163505 In response to: Boys basketball gets a shot clock Sat, 25 Apr 2009 14:25:13 +0000 ecksinoh c162134@http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/ Finally!!! I can remember a game between Wilson and Olympic in 1994 or so. Olympic went up at the start of the second half by about 7 or 8. Wilson, being more athletic would have worn them down and won had Olympic not sat on the ball for final 12 minutes of the game. Olympic ran 5 minutes straight off of the clock in the 3rd qt. just by running a variation of the 4 corner offense. This rule is way over due.

I do know that the Puyallup School District has Puyallup, Rogers and Emerald Ridge sharing the very nice facility at Sparks Stadium -- complete with its wonderful new playing surface. In Tacoma, we have five schools and two stadiums with nice playing surfaces -- Mount Tahoma and Lincoln Bowl. Not sure why Stadium even plays at its bowl. The field makes for crummy soccer, and in some respects its dangerous. It's hard, and the corners where the running track is part of the playing field are especially treacherous, especially when wet.
