Southridge Junior standout Tyler Cox leads young Skyhawk line: By Jordan Johnson
If you didn’t notice the Southridge Skyhawks won the Metro League title again this season, and did it with a young and inexperienced line.

The Northwest’s most underrated Kicker; Sean McDonald of Skyline: By Scott Eklund
A position that typically goes unnoticed in recruiting is kicker. Few if any garner national attention, but it is a very important position — just ask Washington and Oregon who lost critical games late in the season — and that is why it is surprising that Skyline (Sammamish, Wa.) K Sean McDonald hasn’t been able to garner much in the way of attention from FBS or even…
