Wait longer and play less. The consequences of a pandemic year have delivered another blow to high schools sports in the state.
Trista Hull hasn't been able to play basketball for half the year and her La Salle team may not get the high school season its desperately hoping to have this winter.
What if the biggest high school football game in Yakima’s history didn’t end the season in 1964?
They aren't contests of finesse or, for the most part, aesthetically pleasing to watch. In fact, many are down right ugly.
A week before what would have been the first game of the season, many area coaches still don’t quite know what their Friday nights and weekends will look like without football this fall.
