Be prepared to travel if you want to follow the area's South Puget Sound League Class 2A teams -- Highline, Evergreen and Foster.
Highline and Evergreen are split between the Sound and Mountain Divisions even though they are both in the Highline School District.
Highline is in the Sound Division, while Evergreen is in the Mountain Division along with nearby Foster.
Tyee is in the Sound Division for most sports but does not field its own football team. Instead the Totems combine with Mount Rainier of the 4A North Puget Sound League.
Highline and Evergreen will not meet unless it is in a playoff or crossover game after the regular season. They met in a non-playoff crossover last fall.
