    By Adam McFadden • July 7, 2008 6:39 pm

    Lake Youngs doesn’t deliver what you may think when first hearing its name: a view of a lake. But it does deliver a good time and a great place for beginning off-road bikers to get started.

    By Adam McFadden • July 3, 2008 6:33 pm

    For Leslie Folsom, success in golf has always meant adaptation.
    She couldn’t hit as far off the tee as the boys in high school, so she became an ace putter. She felt she might be slipping physically, so she hired a personal trainer and became stronger.
    And instead of just dealing with issues of inequality toward women golfers, she joined the board of directors at her country club and is now part of the change.

    By Adam McFadden • June 26, 2008 7:02 pm

    To some, a 1985 Topps Alvin Davis card doesn’t mean much. Its worth is less than a dollar, and this one isn’t even in mint condition. To Don Joss, that card means nostalgia. Memories versus dollars and cents. Or even collecting for joy versus collecting for profit. That’s the power of trading cards. To many they’re more than simple pieces of cardboard smeared with pictures, names and statistics. They’re a glimpse of personal history.

    For every baseball player, Major League dreams start on Little League diamonds. Little League is where players hone their skills: How to bat, how to throw, how to field and for some select Renton Little Leaguers, how to win.
    Renton Little League Cardinals teams swept the Minors and Majors titles in the District 7 Tournament of Champions competition on June 15. District 7 includes areas around Renton, West Seattle, Seatac and Des Moines.

    Three seniors. Three different schools. Three different seasons. One common goal for the future: continue playing.
    Renton High’s Justin Gunn, Lindbergh’s Patrick Claussen and Hazen’s Nathan Bunch all knew coming into the 2008 season that their teams would look to them for leadership. The three seniors had different levels of success this season, but all are moving on to play at the next level.

    A group of local friends that found a way to use softball to stay together and active for decades has found an unexpected side effect: winning, lots and lots of winning.
    The team, sponsored by Doofers Sports Bar and Grill, has been one of the best teams in the area for quite some time.
    In fact, the team has won at least one tournament every year since 1979. Pretty impressive for a group of friends simply looking for a way to hang out and stay active.

    It takes a lot to impress Renton High junior Armin Basic. Despite making it to the state tournament in three sports this school year and being named the Renton Reporter’s Prep Male Athlete of the Year, he expects more.
    “I have to go back to the gym and get better,” Basic said. “I had higher expectations for this year.”
