The state 4A boys basketball tournament is down to the semifinals, and if you had Todd Beamer High going all the way, I'm sorry but you aren't going to win your pool. more ›

A prominent Seattle attorney who has some awesome glamour shots and goes by the name Anne Bremner has been brought on to assist with Amanda Knox's defense. Bremner has served as counsel for high-profile clients like Governor Christine Gregoire and the Seattle Police Department. Bremner has been brought on to help get the word out on the evidence, or as she says, "the lack of evidence," against Knox. Bremner has been hired by private supporters of Knox, including King County Superior Court Judge Ed Heavey and Seattle Prep High School, Knox's alma mater. more ›

Unlike some other quitter we could mention City Council Member Peter Steinbrueck will be finishing out his current term, however, he will not be seeking re-election this fall. Instead he will dedicate his time to stopping a viaduct re-build and promoting the surface street alternative. (Although Seattlest Seth has a theory that he just wants more time off to watch his son play basketball for Seattle Prep in the 3A State Tournament). more ›

Seattle Prep, which never made the state tourney with current and future NBAers Martell Webster and Spencer Hawes anchoring the squad, has clinched a 2007 berth with slightly-less-touted players Jack Hanley and Jordan Hamilton leading the way. more ›

The Hec Ed PA announcer actually said that, before an unexpectedly entertaining Northern Iowa/Nicholls St. clash to kick off the Basketball Travelers round robin. more ›

Ron Silver may have been a bad guy in TimeCop, but he had a better seat at the NBA draft than the Sonics' draft pick. Yes, with their highest draft pick since 1989, the Sonics picked a guy who was sitting in the stands. more ›

As the NBA's 10th worst team, the Sonics had about a 1/25 chance of getting one of the top three picks, and about a 9/10 chance of getting the 10th pick. They did not pick up an ace "on the river" however (if you have been unemployed in the past year you will know what this means), and so the tenth pick is theirs. more ›

The State 3A hoops tournament started yesterday. All the favored teams won their first round games, setting up some interesting quarterfinal matchups. more ›

To paraphrase (read: blatantly steal) from ESPN's The Sports Guy, there's comedy, there's high comedy, and then there's a Rainier Beach basketball game. For this school, a dynasty in state hoops, a basketball game is an event--a place to be seen as much as to see. Last night, at SPU's gym, Beach clobbered Seattle Prep by twenty points to win the Metro championship. The game was a study in contrasts--in clothes, in culture, in attitude. To wit: more ›

This weekend, Seattlest will be representing at a high school basketball game, a chamber music concert, a church in Burien, and Alderwood Babies-R-Us, respectively. For the full 411, see below. more ›

Oh were we ever excited about December 1st. more ›

On Friday, Issaquah High pulled off its second earth-shattering upset of the year, defeating Bellevue High's nationally-ranked football team. more ›

Why did Seattlest not post about the weekend's sports? Because, unless you are a Europhile, all the news was depressing. more ›

Three Washington natives were picked in the first round of yesterday's NBA draft, an all-time record. So the Seattle Times asked the question: when did Seattle get to be such a hotbed of basketball talent? more ›

The Seattle P-I today passes along a rumor that Seattle Prep basketball star and NBA prospect Martell Webster, who has committed to play next year for the University of Washington, signed a contract with an agent. If true, this would disqualify Webster from playing college ball. more ›

Seattle Prep's boys basketball team, ranked #1 in the state and nationally-ranked for much of the season, will not qualify for the state tournament after Issaquah beat them 63-61 in a loser-out district game yesterday. more ›

If Seattle Prep's Martell Webster had played for the U.S. Olympic Men's Basketball team this summer, they would have won gold, according to an anonymous pro scout. "They didn't have anybody who could shoot like he can," the Seattle Times quoted the scout as saying. more ›
