Despite Shorecrest's not getting past the State 3A first round and Shorewood's barely missing a State berth, both schools were well represented in this year's Wesco all-star games June 3 at Shoreline Stadium that concluded the 2011 boys’ soccer season.

In the 6:30 p.m. Wesco 3A all-star game, the South and North teams played to a 4-4 tie.  Representing Shorecrest and Shorewood for the South team were mostly Wesco first teamers, which included forwards Glen Paden, Jayme Parry and Asa Redfield, midfielders Ian Adams and Callum Wijelath, and defenders Joe Schober, Alex Musar and Kyle Gorney for Shorecrest.  Participating on behalf of Shorewood were midfielder Sahil Khan and keeper Simon Aspinall.

The 8 p.m. 4A all-star game featured a similar North vs. South matchup and a similarly competitive nature with a 3-2 final score in favor of the North.  Consisting mostly of All-Wesco first-team players, the South team showcased the area’s talents such as Edmonds-Woodway midfielder Fareed Zerafat, Kamiak defender Felyx Tsoi, Mariner forward Yahir Sandoval and Jackson forward Guy Shively, among others.
