Here's an interesting sidenote from last week's state hoops.
In Clark County, there are 19 varsity girls basketball teams.
Only five of those teams were coached by women.
Two of those coaches won state titles last weekend.

Who would marry a sportswriter? We work weird hours, long hours, weekends. That's why many sportswriters aren't married. And those that are don't stay that way for long. But I'm one of the lucky ones. For 30 years today, this woman has been my partner in life, for life.

This is plain bonkers. The KIDS ARE PLAYING IN MASKS!!! The least you can do if you're sitting your rear end in the stands is do the same. Grow up or stay home.
Multiple people, including sources from both schools, have confirmed to The Daily News that Naselle canceled its volleyball match tomorrow at Mossyrock due to the Mossyrock crowd not following COVID-19 social distancing and mask protocols at their matchup last Monday.

3 things about this TD run by @LincolnVic5 last night.
1) It's awesome and shows off his speed and elusiveness.
2) Lincoln briefly goes out of frame because I was looking for an exit route in event play came at me.
3) Lincoln crosses goal line like sprinter breaking the tape.
