Evergreen, Foster, Highline and Tyee will be going from a close knit Seamount League into a traveling league when they join the 2A/3A South Puget Sound League starting this fall.
The Seamount consisted of those four area schools plus Kennedy and the three Renton schools, but the SPSL is widespread and will even divide the foursome into two different divisions.
Evergreen and Foster find themselves going into the Mountain Division, while Highline and Tyee will be in the Sound Division.
Other Mountain Division schools are Fife, Foss of Tacoma, Franklin Pierce of Parkland, Lindbergh of Renton, Washington of Parkland and White River of Buckley.
Other Sound Division schools are Clover Park of Lakewood, plus Eatonville, Orting, Renton, River Ridge and Steilacoom.
Kennedy, Mount Rainier and Hazen, meanwhile, will be jumping into the new North Puget Sound League -- which is a 4A only league.
All three will be in the NPSL's Cascade Division along with Kent-Meridian, Kentlake, Kentridge, Kentwood and Tahoma.
The NPSL's Olympic Division consists of Auburn, Auburn Mountainview, Auburn-Riverside, Decatur, Enumclaw, Federal Way, Thomas Jefferson and Todd Beamer.
