An alumnus of Washington State University's Edward R. Murrow College of Communication, Lewis is a sports journalist working at Sportspress Northwest. He spent his first three years in Pullman at the school newspaper writing his weekly column "Backrow Banter" while covering the WSU baseball team. His opinion piece in the fall of 2011 on Cougars football, "The Campus That Cried Wulff" received attention from media outlets throughout the Northwest. The column called for the immediate dismissal of former WSU head coach Paul Wulff. With a family background in the newspaper industry, Lewis's passion for objective sports journalism wins out over passion for his favorite teams. Lewis graduated cum laude from WSU in May. His senior year on the Palouse was spent covering Mike Leach's tumultuous first year coaching the Cougars. At Sportspress Northwest, Lewis will help cover the Storm, Mariners and Seahawks before returning to Pullman in August to cover WSU football's fall camp.

Wladimir Balentien, one-time star prospect of the Mariners who couldn’t hit major league pitching, is on the cusp of breaking Japan’s 49-year-old single-season home run record.
Washington State is alone in first in the Pac-12 North standings. Nobody else has played a conference game, but for a team that has spent the past five years fighting to crawl back toward relevancy, Saturday’s 10-7 win against the USC Trojans, and the subsequent slightly misleading bump in the division race, was a reward
Although it seems unlikely, UW coach Steve Sarkisian thinks his new offense can be even faster than the one that produced 592 yards and five touchdowns in the season opener.
FS Earl Thomas is nothing like the rest of the Seahawks secondary personality-wise, but that hasn’t stopped him from quietly becoming a leader on defense.
Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin is so competitive that he’s been forced to slightly scale back his fiery demeanor, as he tries to bounce back from a disappointing 2012 season.
