Two coaching changes to mention at Liberty High:

• Liberty boys basketball coach Jevon Green has been fired midway through his first year at the position. According to Liberty athletic director Stark Porter, Eric Larsen is the interim head coach. Porter was unable to comment on why Green was let go. The Patriots are currently 5-12.
  I haven’t been able to speak with Green yet, so I won’t speculate on the motives behind the move.
• Liberty is also looking for a new girls soccer coach, meaning Darren Tremblay will no longer be the coach after seven seasons. Tremblay led the Patriots to an overall record of 4-9-4 last season. Liberty went 4-4-4 in KingCo play and finished fourth in the league.

Former Renton High and current Eastern Washington football player Dante Calcote will be seeing red next season, a lot of it.
Thanks to a $500,000 gift from Tennessee Titans offensive lineman Michael Roos (an EWU graduate), Eastern will be able to move ahead with plans to install the country’s first red synthetic field surface.
The NCAA has no rules regarding the color of playing surfaces. Boise State is the most famous example of a non-green surface. The Broncos have a bright blue surface.
Calcote is a junior defensive back. He was Eastern’s Co-Most improved defense play last season.

These lists are formed by the Baseball Northwest staff with some input from coaches and scouts. They rank based on long term potential, not necessarily high school success.
