Eric Kurle’s 10-plus seasons with Graham-Kapowsin have been an unmitigated success, but last year’s team might have been his best up to this point, going 10-1 with their only loss coming in the first round of the state playoffs to a very good Bothell squad.
Entering his third year at the helm of the Tides, head coach Aaron Chantler thinks he’s got a pretty good team on his hands, but a huge determinant on how the team does this season will rely upon how their…

Head coach Tony Davis is heading into his 21st season at the Maple Valley school, and has done a tremendous job, but is really going to have to do some of his best coaching for the Bears to make a run this season.
Have a look at the top skill kids for the class of 2016, as we continue to feature the Junior’s returning in Oregon this season. These athletes have the potential of being one of the elite perimeter groups to have come through the state in some time.
