One of the great things about covering high school sports is that I’m guaranteed to have lots of successful teams and individuals to write about.

We have more than 30 schools in our coverage area and a huge variety of sports to pay attention to.

Everyone knows it’s been a miserable year for Washington’s most prominent college and pro football teams (Seahawks = 2-5, Cougars = 1-7, Huskies = 0-infinity). But in the local prep world I’m spoiled with all sorts of impressive team accomplishments.

That got me thinking: Which area squads have done incredible things over the past few months? I came up with a list of nominees. Take a look and share your opinion.
