#NEIpoll – What sporting event is on your “Bucket List” to attend?: By Scott Enyeart
The Little League team from Sammamish lost a heartbreaker in Williamsport, PA, after making a magical run to the Little League World Series.

New era at Inglemoor starting in the trenches: By Scott Enyeart
In 2012, things didn’t exactly play out on the field the way the Kenmore (Wash.) Inglemoor football team would have liked. The Vikings finished 2-7, and entered the offseason with a bitter taste in their mouths. With longtime head coach Frank Naish retiring after 34 seasons, former Woodinville offensive coordinator DJ Baddeley takes over, bringing with him excitement and optimism to the program. …
