Calling All Sports

When it comes to local sports the University of Washington Huskies women’s basketball team has made the final four of women’s March madness. They take on Syracuse in the semi-finals on Sunday. Whoever wins this game will be the first time either team has made the finals. Whether they win or lose we cheer on the Huskies.

The football teams Huskies have started spring practice to get ready for 2016 season. Many of the Huskies were young last year so this year the team should be more successful. The baseball and soccer teams for both men and women are underway as well. Go Huskies!

The Seattle Mariners start their season on Monday April 4 against the Texas Rangers in Arlington, Texas for a three game series. They will be home next Friday for their home opener against the Oakland A’s. We hope the weather will continue like this week so the roof of Safeco Field will be open. This week I started a new blog just on the Mariners so you will see most of my writing there. I will still occasionally write about the Mariners still here as well. The link is https://marinerbaseballbyherb.wordpress.com I will keep a daily account of the Mariners as well as players. I likely will do a weekly recap here and at times write the same story on both sites. I hope you all save as a favorite to keep up to date.

I will be writing some on the Seahawks to about any news coming forward plus the college draft will be happening this month as well.

I am not a big Sounders fan however I will keep up to date on them to. Right now they are 0-3 so they need to start winning. They have not been doing a lot of scoring starting the season. Hopefully the big crowds at Century Link field will get them going.

Oh yes I can’t forget the Washington State Cougars either. All their sports like the Huskies are underway. Their men’s basketball team had a very bad season so hopefully we can see them rebound (get it) next season. We need all the teams including Gonzaga and Seattle University have outstanding seasons. The high school basketball programs in the state are outstanding. Until next time Go teams!
