    Is it time for WSB Sports section? Who won the Big Game?

  • WSB February 24, 2009 (1:33 pm)

    It is way past time. Look for it soon. We cover stuff hit and miss (like the West Seattle High School boys’ football team push into the playoffs last year, exclusively covered here) but that’s not good enough. I need to check with my source on this one to see what happened … or maybe I can find it online sooner .. thanks for the poke .. TR

    Found it … looks like it was a 4-2 loss to Olympic …
