Lance McGee said he's leaving Yakima as soon as school ends in mid-June to transfer to Sumner, home of the defending 4A football champions. The CBBN's reigning defensive MVP said he made the difficult decision to leave the Pirates and coach Jay Dumas because he wants to face tougher competition in the South Puget Sound League before stepping up to FBS football.

May 26-TOPPENISH - Amir Peña's track goals don't sound so different from anyone else's. The sophomore wants to hone his technique, keep lowering his times and win races. Eventually, he'd love to earn a scholarship to keep competing in college. All of that felt impossible not so long ago, before Teresa Skinner and ParaSport Spokane visited Toppenish and gifted Peña a brand new, sleek racing wheelchair in January.

May 24-West Valley's hitters knew they would be facing a formidable challenge in Saturday's Class 4A state baseball opener against Lake Washington senior Shane Johnson. The left-hander who committed to Washington before flipping to Oregon last summer looked every bit the part of a Big Ten pitching prospect thanks to a fastball consistently in the upper 80s along with a curveball and slider he wasn't afraid to throw at any time.

Ellensburg's Ryker Fortier hit the go-ahead home run for Montana State Billings on the way to a 7-4 win to end Central Washington's season. He also hit a double earlier and then scored the game-winning run in the eighth inning. What a rude way to treat your hometown team.
