Well now, lemme tell ya, the sports in Tacoma sure got a lotta folks talkin’. If you live round here, you’d know that sports, especially the high school ones, is somethin’ that gets everybody fired up. We got ourselves a fine lil’ paper, the Tacoma News Tribune, that always brings the latest updates on high school sports. I reckon folks like me, who don’t have much else to do, love to follow the games, and it sure gives us somethin’ to chat about when we gather round at the diner or over by the mailbox.
So, what’s been happenin’ in Tacoma sports? Well, lemme tell ya, there’s always somethin’ goin’ on. The prep sports section is where it’s at for us! High school sports are a big deal, ya know, whether it’s football, soccer, or track and field. Them young folks, they work hard, and it don’t matter if it’s rainin’ or shinin’, they play like they got somethin’ to prove.
Now, I don’t follow all them fancy statistics and such, but I can tell when a team’s doin’ good or bad just by watchin’ the kids runnin’ around. And let me tell ya, there’s always somethin’ special about a local team makin’ it big. Takes a lotta sweat and tears to get on the first-team selections like those folks in the Tacoma News Tribune’s 2024 All-Area boys soccer team. They been coverin’ the teams like Franklin Pierce and others that’ve been doin’ mighty fine. These kids put their heart and soul into them games. It’s more than just a game to ‘em—it’s their future!
What gets me excited is them updates on the prep football season. I heard that Tyler Wicke, a good ol’ boy who started with the paper back in 2019, been keepin’ track of all the high school football goin’ on. He’s the one to look out for if ya want to know about the latest scores, who’s playin’ good, and what teams are risin’ up. He’s been doin’ it since he graduated from the University of Washington Tacoma in 2021, and he sure knows how to keep the folks around here in the loop!
In fact, if you wanna know about what went down in Week 8 of the prep football season, Tyler’s your man. He’s been talkin’ about all them exciting games, the upsets, the surprise wins, and them heartbreak losses. Ya see, prep sports ain’t just about winning or losin’—it’s about the stories, the effort, and the community pullin’ together. Tacoma’s lucky to have a fella like Tyler Wicke keepin’ an eye on it all.
And it ain’t just football we’re talkin’ ’bout. There’s plenty of good stuff happenin’ in the world of high school soccer too. The Tacoma News Tribune’s been puttin’ out stories about soccer players like Preston Soeum, a talented boy from Franklin Pierce, who made the first-team selections. It’s stories like these that get me talkin’. I remember back when I was young, there wasn’t all this fuss over sports like there is now. But the young’uns today sure give it their all, and you can’t help but cheer for ‘em!
It’s not all about the big wins and the fancy awards though. Sometimes it’s just about them kids who get out there and give it their best shot, even when the odds are stacked against ‘em. High school sports teach lessons that go beyond what’s in the rulebook. It’s about teamwork, grit, and determination. And sometimes, that’s more important than any trophy.
So if you’re in Tacoma and you ain’t already been payin’ attention to what’s goin’ on in the local prep sports scene, I’d say it’s high time ya did! The Tacoma News Tribune keeps us all up-to-date on the goings-on. And whether it’s Tyler Wicke reportin’ on the latest football season or the highlights from the soccer fields, there’s always somethin’ to talk about when it comes to these young folks playin’ sports.
Next time you’re at the store, or sittin’ on the porch with a nice cup of tea, you might wanna flip through the Tacoma News Tribune and see what the kids are up to. The local high school sports scene here in Tacoma is somethin’ you don’t wanna miss. After all, who knows? Maybe one of them kids you’ve been watchin’ will grow up to be the next big star!
