Prep Sports Weekly for Thursday April 15th paid tribute to longtime Everett Public Schools Director of Athletics, Robert Polk, who passed away suddenly and unexpectedly last weekend.

Segment #1 featured Everett Public School Superintendent Dr. Ian Saltzman and Deputy Superintendent Dr. Peter Scott.

We then went from the EPS Administrators to EPS coaches as Jackson High School Boys Basketball Head Coach Steve Johnson and Everett High School/Evergreen Middle School Football/Wrestling/Track & Field Coach Brien Elliott joined us for Segment #2.

Two members of the Snohomish County Basketball Officials Association (SCBBO), Garrett Galbreath and Chris Soterakopoulis were featured in Segment #3 to talk about Polk’s love of officiating.  Polk was the current President of the Association at the time of his passing.

The final segment featured an interview with current Edmonds School District Athletic Director Julie Stroncek and former Marsyville School District Athletic Director Greg Erickson.
