Last Tuesday night, May 5, 2026 the Shorewood Stormrays finished up the regular season schedule at the Meadowdale Mavericks, winning comfortably 3-0, having secured the WESCo 3A South title the previous Friday night, trouncing Archbishop Murphy 6-0. 

The Stormrays ended the season 12-0-0, winning the league, with an RPI of 1.2028, and ranked #1. 

Following the conclusion of the regular season, the District 1 3A playoff brackets have been set, against teams from WESCo 3A North and the Northwest 3A Conference.

The top four seeds receive a bye, while the remaining eight seeds face off in a play-in round to advance. 

League champion Shorewood is seeded #1, and will play either #9 Mountlake Terrace or #8 Snohomish in the quarter-final on Sat 5/9/2026. 

League runner-up Shorecrest is seeded #3, and will play either #11 Oak Harbor or #6 Everett in another quarter-final on Sat 5/9. The other top seeds are #2 Mount Vernon and #4 Monroe.

The play-in and quarter-final rounds will be hosted by the higher seed at their home stadium, while the semi-finals and finals will be held at Shoreline Stadium, with both finalists qualifying for State. 

The losing quarter-finalists and semi-finalists will enter a lucky loser’s bracket, where two teams will emerge in 3rd and 4th place, and both will qualify for State. There will be updates on the progress of Shoreline’s Finest!
