From the Sidelines

Observations on Vashon Island sports, mostly the Pirates, from the sidelines.

Pirate soccer girls take another victim

Round up the usual suspects and add a few more. Teal Sigler and Cat Amick scored two goals each after defender Brooke Pringle got her first goal as the Pirates shut out Cascade Christian 5-0 last night.

Defender Anna Jones and Amick each had two assists while Sigler and Carlyle Scott had one each.

Goalkeeper Sophie Nespor and the amazing Pirate defense registered the first shutout of the season.

Tomorrow is a big test as the Pirates travel to Charles Wright. Vashon, Charles Wright, Orting and Seattle Christian are fighting it out for Nisqually League honors this season.

More to see tomorrow: Cross country hosts its last home meet of the season. The new course on the school campus is not as challenging as the Paradise Ridge course, but it is fast and is one of the best spectator courses around; probably the only XC course where you can watch much of the race and the finish from the “comfort” of the bleachers in the stadium.

Today: Volleyball v Seattle Christian at home, boys tennis @ Eatonville.
