Stormrays Run Out of Magic On A Mountain, in State tourney loss November 10, 2023

Shorewood Soccer team 2023 Photo by T Aw

In soccer’s State Tournament eighth-final, seedings and rankings are meaningless, as on any given day, anything could happen. 

Shorewood's Stormrays were flying high, seeded #2, the Wesco 3A champions, and District 1 champions. 

Wildcats of the GSL 3A were seeded #15, and District 8 runner-up. Mt. Spokane started fast, swarming on defense and attacking with slick, accurate passing, slicing upfield through the gaps. 

Within 5 minutes, Cats took a routine corner kick, executed perfectly with a header past the Shorewood keeper, 0-1. Shaken, the Srays pressed forward in response, but Mt. Spokane countered quickly, whacked a hopeful lob that swerved high and dipped through the fingertips of the Srays goalie, to take a 2-nil lead. 

Within the first 10 minutes, they were in a position seldom encountered during the regular season. 

Surely, their star duo would respond in the face of this challenge, except that the underdogs were tenacious, snapping at the ball, gang-tackling the Srays' strikers. Shorewood surged forward, but the Cats' keeper was their equal, keeping out point-blank shots. 

Srays tried valiantly, but could only manage a goal that was waved off for offside, ending the half down, 0-2. 

Shorewood had a mountain to climb, a formidable mountain named Spokane. After the half, Wildcats stuck to their game plan of tough defense and fearless swift attacks. The Stormrays pushed hard, desperately, knowing that their State run was in danger. They struck the bar, missed an open shot, and finally, center-forward #7, surrounded by a trio of defenders, managed to stab home a shot, 1-2. 

Try as they might, Srays could not find the equalizer, as the minutes ticked away. They fought the mountain, but the mountain won. There would be no magical finish this Friday night, and we wish the Wildcats well, as their journey continues for the State Cup.

We recognize and salute our departing Shorewood senior players:
  • #0 Paige Petschl, Goalkeeper
  • #2 Alivia Berry, Center Back
  • #4 Marieka Staheli, Midfield
  • #10 Amelia Severn, Attacking Midfield
  • #11 Alia Lowden, Defensive Midfield
  • #14 Evan Bachler, Center Back
  • #23 Reese Johnson, Fullback
NEWSFLASH: Our frenemies, the Shorecrest Scots, upset the Peninsula Seahawks 1-0, and Bellevue Wolverines 2-1, to advance to the State semi-finals. (see article)

Shorewood High School’s girls varsity soccer team win 3A District 1 Championship, advance to State


Shorewood high school’s girls varsity soccer team put on a sterling performance last Saturday night in crisp, cool conditions at the 3A District 1 playoff final match of the league postseason soccer tournament. They wrapped up the WesCo 3A league title on October 24, 2023 with a record of 15-0-0, qualified as the #1 seed for the District playoffs, with the top RPI ranking in the league.

In the quarter-final, they faced #8 seed Snohomish at Shoreline Stadium, in a tighter than expected contest. The Panthers had adapted by playing a midfield six zone formation to great effect, with the score tied 1-1 at the half. 

In the second half, the Stormrays responded with their aces #13 forward and #7 striker to break the midfield trap and seal the win, 3-1. 

The semi-final was a tilt against the #4 seed Mountlake Terrace, again with the home-field advantage. The Hawks deployed tight man marking with a dedicated sweeper to stave off the Stormrays, but the strike force of #7 and #13 broke through with sharp-shooting to triumph, 3-0. (see previous article)

This earned them the right to face the #2 seed, arch-rivals Shorecrest (12-3-0) in the 3A District 1 Championship Final on Saturday, November 4th. This titanic clash was destined to happen, as Scots were the WesCo 3A runner-up that had relentlessly pursued them throughout the regular season title race.


Shoreline had been soaked by torrential rain all day, but shortly before kickoff, the clouds parted, leaving a typical clear but chilly Fall evening. The stage was set for another chapter in the saga of high-stakes local derbies between friends, neighbors, even families. There was a definite excitement mixed with tension in the air, an expectant electricity, anticipating a contest where anything could happen. 

The Scots mustered a high press with aggressive marking, tenaciously pursuing and fighting for every ball. The Stormrays stuck to their tactics of quick passing, zig-zagging from sideline to sideline, mesmerizing and beguiling opposing defenders. 

One such thrust resulted in an unfortunate handball infraction against Shorecrest in the box, mandating an automatic penalty-kick. Could Shorewood take advantage of this stroke of luck, with barely a quarter of the game elapsed? 

Up stepped center-back #11, usually tasked to stop goals rather than scoring goals, with the pressure of expectation, that the goalkeeper would be unlikely to save the kick. With short strides, using accuracy rather than power, she coolly slots the ball into the right bottom corner of the net, 1-0.

The Scots, rather than being deflated, were spurred into an even more determined frenzy, hurling themselves forward with attacks down the wings and crosses into the box. Within minutes, a quick strike redirects a fast pass into the six-yard box, past the outstretched keeper for the equalizer, or was it? 

In a second unfortunate turn, the Shorecrest goal was waved off due to offside. Undaunted, the Scots responded by clogging the midfield, and denying the Stormrays their intricate passing lanes. They continued to launch salvos of long balls to bypass the stout Shorewood defense, and ended the half with high energy, with the Stormrays seemingly on their heels and clinging to a slender lead.

The match resumes with Shorecrest’s tall central defenders holding the quad back line, with three mids and three forwards, an attacking posture to go for broke rather than adopt a defensive crouch. The match flowed back and forth with end-to-end action, but slowly, by the middle of the second half, the Scots’ press was beginning to falter, and Stormrays were beginning to wrest control. 

Midfield maestro, #10, surrounded by four defenders, in a fit of hubris, feints to the right, into a sliver of space outside the eighteen-yard box, and while falling backwards, lashed a wicked shot to the left beyond the diving goalie, 2-0. 

Shorewood then piled on the pressure, to stamp out the insolent upstarts that dared to despoil their magical tour de force. Within minutes, Stormrays force a corner, and from the set-piece, lethal center-forward, #7 soars high like a majestic bird of prey and thunders home a powerful header, 3-0. At that point, Shorecrest shoulders visibly slump, the match was effectively over, and Shorewood subs in the bench players to close out the game.

As the whistle blows for full time, pandemonium ensues, as they lay claim to the title of 3A District 1 Champions. 

Shorewood gets their Senior redemption, where as Juniors, one year ago in 2022, in the same District Final, against the same opponent, they had lost a final heartbreaker. Can they top it with the trifecta of a 3A Soccer State Championship as well? 

That chapter remains to be written, as they attempt to do what was last done by their predecessors 24 years ago, in 1999. The State Tournament begins November 7/8 and ends November 18.

EPILOGUE: Both Shorewood and Shorecrest (WesCo League) have qualified for the 3A State Tournament as the #2 and #9 seeds. Two other teams representing District 1 are Ferndale and Oak Harbor (Northwest Conference), the #11 and #13 seeds. (see previous article from beginning of season)

Shorewood’s JV team finished the season with a respectable record of 5-4-2, finishing 8th in the league table, slightly overshadowed by their undefeated 13-0-0 Shorecrest JV counterparts, topping the table (see previous article). The scene is set for yet another epic showdown in the future.

Shorewood District 1 Champions

The Shorewood boys tennis team entered the WIAA District 1 tennis tournament with six players.

The top tennis players from WesCo North, WesCo South and Skagit / Whatcom 3A matched up to try and win one of four top places in singles and doubles, in order to earn a berth to next May's WIAA State Tennis Tournament in Vancouver, Washington, at the Vancouver Tennis Center.

In doubles, number 1 seeded sophomore Xander Gordon / junior Peter Kosten and number three seeded sophomore Eli Sheffield and sophomore Riley Boyd. 

The team had won the WesCo South league championship and finished with an overall record of 14-1.

WesCo North champions Snohomish and Shorewood were favorites to win the District 1 team title. The rain cleared and courts dried on Wednesday October 25, 2023 in time to start the court battles. 

Shorewood Boys Tennis Team
with Coach Arnie Moreno
District tournaments across the state are considered to be the first step of the state tennis tournament, on a regional scale. Coach Arnie Moreno reminded the team to approach each match as a challenge and continue to play their consistent style of tennis.
 
Singles  
  • JD Drake won his way into the singles final to face Snohomish's Cade Strickland in a rematch. Drake outplayed Strickland with a strong overall strategy and aggressive game to with the first set 6-2. Strickland battled back with a gritty effort, using long rallies and patience to outlast Drake, and win two sets and the singles top spot.
  • Freshman Sebastian Sanchez, despite his limited high school tennis experience, played every match with a high level of play and won 5th place, as alternate to the state tournament.
Doubles
  • Shorewood's doubles teams were up to the challenge. Gordon and Kosten played a strong aggressive net game to pressure their opponents into many unforced errors and they hit many outright winning shots, to win the doubles championship final.
  • Shorewood's Eli Sheffield and Riley Boyd battled some nagging injuries to win long three set matches to put themselves in to position to win a spot to state. Determination, staying positive and a never give up attitude carried them to win the third-place award in doubles.
Shorewood qualified five players for the state tournament, Drake, Gordon, Kosten, Sheffield and Boyd, with Sanchez earning an alternate spot. 

Their high level of play won Shorewood the District 1 Team Championship.

Shorewood sends six to District 1 tennis tournament

WesCo South singles champion JD Drake
By Coach Arnie Moreno

The Shorewood boys tennis team had an outstanding WesCo South tennis tournament. The team won two of the top four awards in singles and doubles. 

Leading the way was junior JD Drake, winning the singles championship, and doubles team junior Peter Kosten and sophomore Xander Gordon winning the doubles championship. 

Also, Shorewood's freshman, Sebastian Sanchez, earned third place in singles and the doubles team of sophomores Riley Boyd and Eli Sheffield placed second, losing in the doubles final to teammates, Kosten and Gordon.
 
The highlight match of the tournament was a three-set battle between Shorewood's Drake and Edmonds-Woodway's Nalu Akiona for the singles championship. 

After losing the first set, Drake regained momentum with a strong overall court game and earned a hard-fought victory. The match featured long rallies, momentum shifts, powerful serves and great shot making from both players.

Shorewood Girls Soccer wins WesCo League title

Shorewood High School’s girls varsity soccer team put on a sparkling performance last Thursday night in balmy conditions in the penultimate Wesco 3A league match of the season. 

The first-place 13-0 Stormrays faced the third-place 10-2-1 Mountlake Terrace Hawks with places in the District 1 playoffs at stake. The Hawks came in with a reputation of Giant Killers, having defeated Archbishop Murphy, Cedarcrest, and Shorecrest, hoping to spoil the Stormrays’ dream season.

In a game punctuated by brief drizzles of threatening precipitation, the weather held off to allow the players to display their skills. 

In the first twenty minutes, Stormrays would prod and probe, and Hawks would counterattack with intent. 

The Terrace defense resolutely held off the dangerous Shorewood attacks, but Stormrays patiently switched the ball from left to right and left again while advancing forward. Star attacking midfielder, #10, carried the ball from the halfway line into the box, burst clear through a desperate tackle, and laced an unstoppable shot past the keeper for the breakthrough, 1-0. 

Midway through the first half, the Stormrays seized the momentum and redoubled their offensive pressure. Star striker, #7, received the ball on the right flank, dribbled left, leaving defenders in her wake, and unleashed a rocket for a 2-0 lead. 

The Hawks were reeling, the Stormrays engaged the press and swarmed the Terrace goal, the ball bobbling around the six-yard box until #10 loops the ball over the goalie’s flailing hands for her brace, making it 3-0 just before the half.

The match felt over in the second half, but Terrace was not giving up, launching waves of counter-attacks while fending off Shorewood’s half-hearted offense. 

The Stormrays’ junior keeper, #1, had to come out of her first half slumber to pull off several superb agile saves to keep the shutout and snuff out any possible comeback. Midway through the second half, #10 drove to the eighteen-yard box, sensed an opening, curled a precision top left strike beyond the keeper’s reach for her hattrick, and the coup de grace, 4-0. 

The Hawks launched one more last-gasp foray that hit the right post, and the clean sheet was safe, much to the satisfaction of the Shorewood goalie, #1. 

The match ended and the Stormrays maintained their perfect record, heading into an almighty clash in the final match of the season against the second-place 12-1-0 crosstown rivals Shorecrest with the league title at stake.

NEWSFLASH: The Shorecrest Scots did not cooperate with the script and unexpectedly lost to the Arlington Eagles, 0-1, handing the title to Shorewood Stormrays, the 2023 Wesco 3A Champions! 

The District 1 Championship is up next, with RPI and seedings (and qualification) for State still to be earned.
