This week is the lull before the storm for high school spring sports. Except for a handful of contests, teams are on a break, but when they return beginning April 6, there are about five weeks of regular season remaining. Three more weeks of postseason and the 2008-09 season ends - the last gasp for this year's seniors. What with weather and the holiday a lot must get done in little time.

GSL baseball, softball and soccer teams are farthest a long, about quarter of the way through with baseball scheduled for games this week. Other league action is just underway and some sports, track and golf, don't get going until after the holiday. My Prep Notebook in The Spokesman-Review today addressed some of the doings, including the injuries that continue to best Mt. Spokane baseball the past few seasons.

I'll be on the road to California the rest of this week for Central Washington University softball in my daughter Linse's final tournament of her career, which - typical of the spring - has about a month remaining. Then it's hit the ground running for the high school season ending rush.
