BZM’s upcoming prep sports coverage

A kicker, a competitive weekend in Greater St. Helens Conference, and a journey with x-country runners

Oct 11, 2024

Last week I told you about Blast Zone Media, a new online prep sports newsletter started recently by Jordan Nailon, a local native and former sports editor of The Daily News.

Jordan and I, as former TDN colleagues, are promoting each others’ efforts. Like Lower Columbia Currents, BMZ is platformed on substack.com.

Lower Columbia Currents is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Here’s what BZM has on tap this week:

Getting their kicks Woodland

Woodland won a high school football game in the one way you rarely see — a field goal. Josiah Graham doesn't really consider himself a kicker but he knocked it through twice last Friday on the way to the "game of his life."

Friday Night Football coverage

R.A. Long at Woodland, 7 p.m.

Mark Morris vs Ridgefield, 7 p.m.

Kelso vs Prairie, 7 p.m.

It’s a big and competitive Friday night in the Greater St. Helens League. Look on www.blastzonemedia.com on Friday night for a full list of scores and visuals from the evening. Check back over the weekend for full feature stories, plus a complete roundup of all prep football results from the BMZ coverage area.

Cross County Roads

Don Schaplow of Toledo goes into depth about the 45th annual Harvest Classic race on the paved streets of Longview, follows the Monarchs and Hilanders to Chambers Bay, and takes readers inside the race day snack preferences of those wacky long distance kids. www.blastzonemedia.com
