Plenty to do
If there is "plenty" to do in high school sports this week, why don't we see anything about the smaller schools? Surely 3A, 2A and 1A are also playing somewhere. It's getting to the point where it's impossible to find anything at all in the Statesman (or on the blogs) unless you are interested in the Boise, Nampa, or Caldwell schools. The Treasure Valley *does* extend to the western border of the state! There are some awesome teams out that way who would also love to see their names in the paper.
Mostly STAY INDOORS and avoid lightning and wind and hail...
