Patch is featuring a Clover Park and Lakes student-athlete to grasp their challenges of competing in sports while maintaining academics.

High school sports is an integral part of teenager development. It builds physical and mental strength, teamwork and drives people to never give up, completing a season-long task.

This spring season, Patch will track the progress of two high school prep athletes as they log their experiences on a week-to-week basis. It's called Captain's Log and you can read the first installment .

The goal of Captain's Log is to get inside the minds of the student-athlete as they compete in their respective leagues and to understand the challenges they face on and off the field.
