There’s no taking away the many successes of the Shorewood football team’s 2018 season. 

The Thunderbirds finished second in the Wesco South after playing an independent schedule last year. They qualified for postseason play two years removed from consecutive winless seasons and opened the year winning five of their first six. 

But for all the great memories, Shorewood’s district playoff game likely won’t evoke many feel-good moments. 

The Thunderbirds were hoping to clinch a state tournament berth for the first time since 1990. Lake Washington played spoiler. 

The Kangaroos’ defense overwhelmed Shorewood’s offense, and the Thunderbirds suffered a 17-0 Week 10 playoff loss Friday at Shoreline Stadium.
