The Girls High School Soccer regular season comes to an end Tuesday night, and for local fans it’s clear they’ve saved the best for last when Shorecrest and Shorewood square off at Shoreline Stadium at 7pm.

Local youth coaches from the Hillwood and Shorelake programs are encouraged to bring their teams (girls and boys) to see our community’s finest players lay it on the line.

District One 3A playoffs await for both the Scots (9-3-1 in WesCo, 10-4-1 overall) and the T- Birds (8-5, 8-7).

But first things first.

Every year this rivalry game stirs the passions of the players, many of whom have played against (and with) each other since their peewee days. 

Add to the mix the importance of this game in the final league standings, with District Tournament seedings still in flux, and suffice it to say there’s much at stake.

The T-Birds are playing their best soccer of the season, coming into this match with four straight victories, including an impressive 1-0 win Thursday at perennially powerful Edmonds-Woodway.

The Scots have qualified for the State tournament ten years in a row.

Come Wednesday morning, the full tournament bracket will be viewable here.
