 3rd Annual Cougars Championship Passing Tournament on Saturday in Marysville No linemen. No running plays. All passing. Sound like fun? If it does, check out the 3rd Annual Cougars Championship Passing Tournament on Saturday in Marysville at Dick Cardinal Stadium (17022 11th Ave. NE). Hosted by Lakewood High School, the all-day competition starts at 9 a.m. and will conclude with the championship game, which is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. The event is free for fans and features 16 teams from four classifications, including seven squads from local leagues: Class 4A Bothell Issaquah Kamiak Lake Stevens Stanwood Class 3A Eastside Catholic Mount Vernon Class 2A Bellingham Lakewood Prosser South Whidbey Sultan W.F. West Class 1A Cedar Park Christian King's Onalaska Here is a description of the tournament rules from Lakewood head football coach Dan Teeter, who organized the Cougars Championship Passing Tournament. “In a passing tournament, there are no linemen or running plays. The defense consists of the secondary and linebackers, while the offense includes the QB, running backs and receivers. The ball must be thrown within 4 seconds or it is a loss of down for the offense. The players will be wearing helmets, but it is a 1-hand touch, non-contact event.” The squads are grouped into four four-team divisions. Teams in each division play each other in a round-robin format. The top eight teams move on to the playoffs, which start at 2 p.m. Each game will have two 20-minute halves. Last year, Issaquah beat Bothell in the championship game. Here are the divisions for Saturday's tournament. Gold Division: Cedar Park Christian, Issaquah, Mount Vernon, Prosser Maroon Division: Eastside Catholic, Lakewood, Stanwood, W.F.

Following its July meeting, the WIAA Executive Board announced Tuesday that the 2011 Class 4A and Class 3A state baseball championships will move to Cheney Stadium in Tacoma. For several years the 3A and 4A semifinals, consolation games and championship games were played at Safeco in Seattle. But a scheduling conflict at Safeco caused the WIAA to move the games to Tacoma. Also, the WIAA released more details about the revamped state basketball tournament format. Here are the Executive Board's latest decisions, according to a WIAA press release: *District tournaments will be allowed to run as late as the Tuesday prior to the start of the first round (round of 16) of the state tournament (Tuesday, Feb. 22). *There will be two No. 1 seeds and two No. 2 seeds at each site for the first round of the tournament on Friday, Feb. 25. The No. 1s will play each other and the No. 2s will play each other. The winner of the No. 1s will move on to the round of eight, which will be held March 3-5. The loser of the No. 1s will play the winner of the No. 2s on Saturday, Feb. 26. The winner of that game will also advance to the round of eight. *The first-round sites (round of 16) will be finalized during this fall. ... [Read More] E-mail | Print | Comment
National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships: Amy-Eloise Neale wins ... Amy-Eloise Neale, the outstanding sophomore-to-be distance runner from Glacier Peak High School in Snohomish, won the 2,000-meter steeplechase in the intermediate girls division today at the USATF National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships in Sacramento, Calif. Neale, who didn't start running the steeplechase until about five weeks ago, was hoping to break the national age-group record in the event. But she finished in 7 minutes, 9.61 seconds — more than 12 seconds slower than the record of 6:56.97 set by Eleanor Fulton in 2008. Still, Neale beat today's second-place finisher, Gabrielle Stearns of Iowa, by 13 seconds. Stearns finished in 7:22.78. Neale is also a favorite to win the intermediate girls 1,500 and 3,000 later this week. Several other local athletes (Edmonds-Woodway's Alec Fellows, Glacier Peak grad Katie Higgins, Oak Harbor's Adrianna Royal, King's Curtis Clauson) are competing in the 2010 Junior Olympic nationals, which go through Aug. 1.

Story link: Rivals.com checks in with Jackson High's Brett Kingma This past weekend Jackson High School senior-to-be Brett Kingma was in Las Vegas for the Fab 48 AAU basketball tournament. Playing for the Seattle-based Friends of Hoop team, Kingma impressed Rivals.com basketball recruiting analyst Adam Gorney. After watching Kingma, a 6-foot-1 guard, play on Friday, Gorney wrote that Kingma “was impressive” and “made positive steps toward achieving” his goal of proving to college coaches that he is well-rounded player, not just a scorer. “Kingma scored — that's what he does — but he also got out in transition and in passing lanes, played (defense) and (distributed) the ball to open teammates,” Gorney added. Kingma has collected several scholarship offers and has received significant interest from other big schools. He plans to narrow his list of possible schools to five sometime next month and take official recruiting trips in the early fall. Kingma's busy summer continues this week. Replying to a text I sent him this morning, Kingma texted: “We are flying to phoenix today.” He and his Friends of Hoop teammates will play yet another tournament, this one in Arizona. ...

Story link: Update on Marysville-Pilchuck alum Haley Nemra
Imagine how incredible it would be to finish high school and head to the Olympics to represent a country you've never even visited. For Marysville's Haley Nemra, that was just the tip of the iceberg. Nemra, a 2008 Marysville-Pilchuck High School graduate, competed in the Summer Olympics for the Marshall Islands, her dad's native country, two summers ago. The mid- to long-distance runner now attends the University of San Francisco, but she's got another unique athletic activity planned for this summer: Nemra will compete in the Micronesian Games in Palau, a small island in the Pacific Ocean. Check out Herald writer John Boyle's update story about Nemra that appears in today's Herald. ... [Read More] E-mail | Print | Comment
Reader poll: Is cheerleading a sport? Cheerleading requires athletic ability, and cheerleading teams compete against each other in judged contests. But is cheerleading a sport? Today a federal judge in Connecticut said no. Cheerleading is listed as an “activity” on the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association website. Other things the WIAA classifies as activities instead of sports: dance/drill, drama, forensics and music. What's the difference between a sport and an activity? If it's a question of athleticism and preparation, this certainly shows that cheerleading should be considered a sport. 2010 Athletic Championships: World Cup Shooting Stars What do you think? Should competitive cheerleading be called a sport, or is it more accurate to call it an activity? Does it even matter?

UPDATE: Lakewood vs. Arlington powder-puff football recap: The kids win
Moms play football. Dads lead cheers. Kids benefit. It was quite a scene Sunday at Haller Middle School Stadium in Arlington, where the Lakewood Cougar moms played the Arlington Eagle moms in a powder-puff (non-tackle) football game. Sparked by its tough defense and receiver Dana Krueger, who made a 25-yard touchdown reception and was named most valuable player, Lakewood shut out Arlington 16-0 in the inaugural “Battle at the Tracks” clash. The 11-on-11, two-hand touch game raised money for scholarship funds that will help kids play youth football in the two communities. Arlington raised at least $4,650 and Lakewood raised $2,256. Congrats to everyone who helped plan the game, including Arlington's Diana Green and Kim Welton. It was a unique fundraising idea that turned into a hugely successful, extremely well-attended event. More than 1,400 fans packed the bleachers! The action on the field entertained the crowd (especially Lakewood rooters), but the Arlington Cheer Dads nearly stole the show a few times with their cheers and hilarious choreographed dances. Before the game the dads did a routine to the Black Eyed Peas' song “Boom Boom Pow” and at halftime they danced to another Peas' tune, “I Gotta Feeling.” Lakewood's Krueger, the game MVP, was all smiles after the contest. The 1992 Arlington High School grad joked that she is a “defector.” Most of her family still lives in Arlington, including her brother Blake McPherson, a junior-to-be at Arlington High. McPherson is slated to be the Eagles' starting quarterback this fall. If McPherson needs a good receiver to work on passing drills, he can just call his big sis. ...

UPDATE: Mariner junior-to-be KeiVarae Russell has football scholarship offe...
Still seven weeks away from playing the first game of his junior season, Mariner High School running back/defensive back KeiVarae Russell already has big-time college scholarship offers. I spoke to Mariner football coach John Ondriezek this week. He told me that Russell — a fast (4.5 seconds in the 40-yard dash), strong, intelligent (3.7 cumulative GPA) player — has received scholarship offers from Washington State University and the University of Wyoming, and has attracted lots of recruiting interest from other big-time programs. The 6-foot, 175-pound Russell led the Western Conference South Division last year with 1,232 rushing yards (7.7 yards per carry). He rushed for 14 touchdowns and also had two TD receptions. Russell was named an All-Wesco South first team running back. I plan to write about Russell for our upcoming 2010 high school football preview. In the meantime, check out his 2009 highlight video.

Arlington moms play Lakewood moms in powder puff football game on Sunday The mothers of youth football players in Arlington and Lakewood are gearing up for an unusual gridiron clash this weekend. The inaugural Arlington vs. Lakewood Powder Puff Football Game is 5 p.m. Sunday at Haller Stadium (600 E. First St.) in Arlington. The moms of players who are ages 6-14 are playing to raise money for the Arlington Youth Football Association and the Lakewood Youth Football Athletic Association. For anyone who attends the game, the suggested donation is $5 per individual or $10 per family. Youth football fees, which cost $200 per season in each youth association, are becoming more difficult for families to pay in these tough economic times. The Arlington and Lakewood associations will use proceeds from the powder puff game to give scholarships that cover the registration fee to players who are in need. The number of players in need increased significantly this year in both communities. About 20 moms are expected to play for each team in the powder puff. It will be an 11-on-11 contest with four 10-minute quarters. The moms will wear full pads and helmets but instead of tackle football it will be “touch” football; the play ends when a defender touches the offensive player who has the ball. ...

Story link: Pitchers in the MLB spotlight I usually keep the focus of this blog on prep sports but I'm going to stray from that for a minute. During my lunch break today I read an interesting USA Today article about how pitchers — not hitters — have been creating most of the buzz during the 2010 Major League Baseball season. Before you watch tonight's MLB All-Star Game, read the USA Today story. It focuses on some amazing performances from the first half of the season, including Roy Halladay and Dallas Braden's perfect games, and Armando Galarraga's would-be perfect game that was botched by a missed call. How do we explain pitchers' increased dominance? Is it a result of MLB's crackdown on the use of performance-enhancing drugs? The writer explores that possibility and a bunch of other possible causes, including the way organizations carefully develop young, talented pitchers. ...

Jackson's Brett Kingma: Friends of Hoop action, recruiting updates Brett Kingma's ultra-busy basketball schedule continues this weekend with some games closer to home. Since the AAU season heated up, Kingma has traveled to tournaments in Virginia, Los Angeles, Houston and Portland. But the Jackson High School senior-to-be didn't have to go far for his latest competition: the NW Premier Showcase, which runs today through Sunday. Based at Bellevue College, the prestigious multi-gym event features players from fourth grade through high school (ages 10u to 17u) competing in pool play and then bracket play. Kingma, a high-scoring guard who helped lead Jackson to second place in the Class 4A state tournament in March, is playing in the NW Premier Showcase with Friends of Hoop, the highly touted program that Snohomish High/University of Washington alum Jon Brockman once played for. Kingma previously played AAU ball for the Emerald City Basketball Academy but said he switched to Friends of Hoop this year, in part, because his closest friends and former Emerald City teammates (Cascade's Chris McGrath, Stanwood's Zack Johnson, Lynnwood's Simi Fajemisin and Meadowdale's Connor Hamlett) are a year older than Kingma and can no longer play AAU hoops. Plus, Kingma wanted to challenge himself. With nationally renowned Friends of Hoop, he is doing that. Playing for FOH is all business but it's worthwhile, Kingma said Wednesday in a phone interview: “It's a little different, but overall I think it's better for me because I'm showing I can do more.” “It hasn't been as fun (as playing for Emerald City) because my best friends aren't on the team,” Kingma added. “But the ultimate goal is to have my college paid for and possibly play beyond that if I keep working hard.” Already known as a gifted scorer, Kingma said he is working hard to improve his ballhandling and defense. The latter skill requires determination and consistent effort, and Kingma said he now has a better appreciation of how important that aspect of the game is. Asked about his college options, Kingma said recruiting interest picked up after Jackson's exciting 4A tournament performance. Kingma said these are the top 10 schools he is most interested in (not necessarily in order of preference): University of Oregon Stanford University University of Washington Pepperdine University Brigham Young University Washington State University Oregon State University Seattle University Boston College Harvard University Although he can't take official recruiting visits until school starts this fall, Kingma has made about 10 unofficial campus trips. Most recently, he visited BYU in the spring and Pepperdine on Memorial Day weekend. He was invited to Stanford's camp, which he attended June 25-26. And Kingma plans to visit Oregon in the next few weeks. BYU has “actually been recruiting me the hardest of anyone,” Kingma said. He's impressed with the success of All-America guard Jimmer Fredette in BYU's system and can envision himself playing a similar role for the Cougars. Kingma also said he really likes Oregon and its new head coach, Dana Altman. Altman spent the previous 16 seasons coaching Creighton. Kingma said he likes Altman's reputation for having success with shooting point guards. Also, Kingma grew up idolizing former Oregon point guard Luke Ridnour. Although he has written a list of top 10 schools, Kingma said his college plans are “pretty wide open right now.” He expects that will change next month. His plan is to trim his list to five schools by mid-August and take five official recruiting visits during the first five weekends of his senior year. ...

July 1: Rucker Park, New York, N.Y. July 8: The Cage, New York, N.Y. July 15: Hank Gathers Rec, Philadelphia, Pa. July 22: The Dome, Baltimore, Md. July 29: St. Cecilia's, Detroit, Mich.

The courts have attracted an incredible list of NBA and college stars over the years, from Wilt Chamberlain and Julius Erving to Kobe Bryant and John Wall. The ESPN RISE staff asks readers to let them know if they left out any great streetball courts in their Rucker to Venice Series. I wish they would have included Green Lake in Seattle. How about you?

Video: Jackson placekicker Daniel Sullivan Here's a cool note about Daniel Sullivan, the Jackson High School football team's senior-to-be placekicker: He is the nephew of 1971 Heisman trophy winner Pat Sullivan. Clearly, Daniel has a very good football pedigree. Unlike Pat Sullivan, who was a quarterback, Daniel Sullivan is a kicker, and he's got quite a powerful leg. Recently he was invited to a kicking camp at Boise State University and won a kicker competition. He has received recruiting interest from Boise State, the University of Nevada Las Vegas and the military service academies, Jackson football coach Joel Vincent said. You can see Sullivan in action in this video compilation, which is intended to attract interest from college coaches. Video: Jackson senior-to-be placekicker Daniel Sullivan ...
