It is official - high school girls flag football is now a sanctioned sport with the state of Washington. A year after being voted down by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) representative assembly made up of district-level and high school and middle school athletic directors and administrators, the return vote Monday passed, giving the state its first new sanctioned sport since 1999.

When you are the big-name football coach in a small town such as Gooding in south central Idaho, you usually have your finger on the pulse of everything going on. Even in the middle-school ranks. Cam Anderson remembers initially seeing projected NFL Draft first rounder Colston Loveland dominating youth football as a fifth grader, but his most vivid early-impression memory was during Gooding High School practice. The middle school game was happening on an adjacent field.

A former offensive lineman at the University of Washington, Dominic Daste is a big man. So, it takes plenty to garner his undivided attention. And as he was walking around the Eastside Catholic campus with then-high school coach Jeremy Thiehbar, whose staff he was a part of and whom he'd replace leading the program in 2019, he noticed an eighth grader running around practing in the junior program. It was Jaylahn "J.T." Tuimoloau, who wasn't that far off looking at Daste eye to eye.

Congratulations to University girls track and field thrower Addy MacArthur for being voted SBLive’s Washington High School Athlete of the Week for April 7-April 12!The reigning two-time Class 4A discus champion is performing at another level this spring. At the Pasco Invite, she ripped a new personal best in the discus - 155 feet, 5 inches - to not only win the event, but increase her overall top mark in Washington (she backed it up with a 151-1 at a meet five days later).
