DAY 1 OF THE 3A GIRLS STATE TOURNAMENT: GOOD MORNING
Hopefully everyone's got their breakfast ready for this one.I'm here live and in color at the arena with 39 minutes to gametime. I talked to assistant coach Nicole Hebner earlier and she said the girls are ready.
"They're awake, which is the most important thing," she said.
Several Auburn Riverside fans are already seated in the student section and I've seen several more wandering about.
Back in a few with any last minute news.

BACK WITH THE RESURRECTION
(copyright Brad Camp/Bainbridge Review)
It's that time again.
Another year has passed, but this time, the girls are taking center stage at Hec Ed this year.
Unfortunately they've got a big test ahead of them in the form of defending champs Auburn Riverside in the 9 a.m. game on Wednesday, which is dubbed the "Egg McMuffin" game.
So: can they pull off the upset? Or will they be sent to the consolation bracket?
Find out this Wednesday.

REARVIEW MIRROR: REQUIEM FOR A DREAM
(copyright Brad Camp/Bainbridge Review)Everything went wrong for the Bainbridge basketball team last night.
Their shots didn't drop. They bricked their free throws. They let O'Dea get their shooters going and once the first quarter was over, it was pretty much over.
I know there was a lot of pressure on them being it's for the state championship, but if some of those shots drop for them, the game might have been different.
But O'Dea was the better team last night. They showed why they've won three state titles in the last four years.
Still, to let one game, even a championship game, define a season doesn't do justice for all the great things that happened over the season.
The home wins over Seattle Prep and Rainier Beach. The road wins over South Kitsap and O'Dea. That game against O'Dea for the Metro Mountain Division title - probably one of the best sporting experiences I've had in my life.
They'll feel bad now, but when they look back, they'll see they had a fun season.
I had fun covering them.
So what's next? Spring sports, of course. I like the fastpitch team. They've got a lot of talent this year and they're young. The baseball team will have to overcome the loss of some talented seniors, but there's some good players coming up from the youth programs.
Both lacrosse teams are going to be stellar as usual. It'll be interesting to see if the girls can bounce back after losing their three All-Americans.
The track team will be strong in the mid-distance events and relays, but I'm not sure about the boys soccer team. They'll have to work with a new coach and get used to his style.
The tennis teams will have some good singles and I'm sure a doubles team will be strong. The girls' water polo team lost a bunch of seniors, so they'll have to find their way with some new talent.
So keep it right here. One season may have ended but the train rolls on.
