Last Saturday afternoon, the Shorewood Stormrays finished runner-up in the 3A District 1 final versus Oak Harbor Wildcats, losing a tough contest 0-3.
The Stormrays' season record stands at 13-4-2, second in District 1, WesCo 3A South league champs, with an RPI of 0.6063.
Both Shorewood and Shorecrest (WesCo South) have qualified for the 3A State Tournament as the #9 and #12 seeds. Two other teams representing District 1 are Mountlake Terrace (WesCo South) and Champions Oak Harbor (Northwest Conference), the #20 and #4 seeds.
Spare a thought for the plucky Lynnwood Royals, who despite a winless season of 0-12-0, competed and showed up cheerfully, week-in, week-out, and played hard despite a limited roster, and without a JV team.
Shorewood’s JV team finished the season with a somber record of 2-6-2, finishing 5th in the league table, slightly overshadowed by their undefeated 10-0-1 Shorecrest JV counterparts, topping the table.
Following the conclusion of the District tournaments, the State 3A playoff brackets have been set, against teams from Districts 1-6.
