Prep sports get back in the swing tonight after two weeks off for the holidays. Ten teams will hit the courts or mats this evening with Pullman boys and girls basketball teams hosting Medical Lake. The Garfield-Palouse basketball teams are headed to Potlatch and Tekoa-Oakesdale teams hosting St. George’s. Genesee boys will host Grangeville while [...]

The Idaho women will play Utah State tonight at 7 p.m. at the Cowan Spectrum. The campus has been closed all day, but the Aggies and Vandals are going to do their best impression of the post office, going through with their game despite the weather. Brave the conditions and come on out. After a not so [...]

How about the game in Reno? The Vandal men rocked Saturday night, beating Nevada in Reno and picking up a crucial conference win on the road. It was a fabulous win for first-year coach Don Verlin and his squad. If possible, things will be even tougher tonight as the men take on Utah State in Logan. It’s the [...]

I can’t tell you how many times this past week I’ve had players and coaches from the Idaho men’s and women’s basketball teams asking me to ask people to come to their games. Neither Vandal team is going to win every game this season, but both teams have improved drastically and both are entertaining. They push [...]

I got back in from Colorado and Texas on Saturday, bringing with me tons of gifts and of course, a pretty bad cold that I am still trying to kick. The cold could have a little to do with sitting through the second coldest game in Denver Broncos history on Dec. 21. It was well worth [...]

The Idaho men face ISU tonight Pocatello in its final nonconference game of the year. Idaho doesn’t play well on the road (they are 1-5 away from Moscow), and the Bengals have played a pretty tough nonconference schedule this year, so it’s hard to know what to expect. The Vandal women lost to Portland last night in [...]

My good friend Devin took a holiday break and I was fortunate enough to fill in for him. I’ve been keeping my eye on the Cougar hoop teams all year but this week was the first chance I had to meet both the men’s and women’s coaches and watch both teams. I loved what I saw from [...]

My bowl season got off to a great start last night as I watched the purple and black TCU Horned Frogs beat BSU by one. Now if Hawaii can pick up a win tonight my bowl season will be nearly perfect. The WAC basketball season is just about here and it’s looking like a pretty balanced conference. [...]

This Saturday and Sunday the Idaho men close out the pre-Christmas season hosting Texas Southern and Washington State. It would be easy for the Vandals to look past Texas Southern, a team that’s 0-10 and lost to Gonzaga 81-42 on Thursday. But that would be silly. Texas Southern has played No. 5 Texas tough - twice [...]

With winter breaks and snow days on the horizon, it is no surprise that prep sports are slowing down. They have not ceased but they will, briefly, over the Christmas and New Year holidays. The stoppage will only go so far as to stop games from going on. Parents will still have to shuttle athletes to [...]
