Hope everyone was able to get their holiday shopping done early this year (I was, for once!) and can now sit back, relax and enjoy the season.

On tap for Christmas Day are our final two previews, the Redmond High Swimming and Wrestling teams, and our New Year’s Day edition will be one to remember as I feature one of the most extraordinary stories I’ve ever encountered in my career thus far in Trent Halvorson of Overlake.  I’m still writing the story but will provide a teaser in my blog early next week.

As we round out 2009, we have the Bear Creek School girls, (Sea-Tac 2B League) under the experience of Alan Dickson, who had an amazing story in his own right, at 7-2 so far this year (1-0 in their only league game) and one team on the outside looking in, the 0-5 Redmond High girls who had one of the toughest December schedules ever, hope to rebound in 2010, and their trip to Phoenix over the break for the Cactus Jam Tournament should help improve team bonding and relax them after a tough start under new coach Sara Goldie.

Good luck to all our teams playing in holiday tournaments (as profiled in this Friday’s Reporter) and Happy Holidays!!!

Tim Watanabe Hi there! I graduated from the University of Washington in 2007 with a degree in Journalism and have been the sports writer for the Redmond Reporter since May of 2008. When I'm not covering the local high school sports scene I enjoy bowling, anything related to African lions, and performing in costume for community and charity events.
