From the Sidelines
Observations on Vashon Island sports, mostly the Pirates, from the sidelines.
Welcome
September 27th, 2009 at Sun, 27th, 2009 at 4:01 pm by Rik ForschmiedtWelcome to From the Sidelines, where we will observe the Pirates and occasionally other Island sports events.
This week let’s talk about Pirate girls soccer. In case you’ve missed them, our girls scored 14 goals in their last two games, are 3-1 in the Nisqually League and 4-2 overall. The Pirates play at Cascade Christian on Tuesday, Sept. 29, and at Charles Wright Thursday, Oct. 1.
Coach Beytebiere has called this the best team he has had at VHS, and it may be the best girls soccer team ever at Vashon. The Pirates don’t have another home game until Oct. 20, so let’s get some Vashon fans out on the road.
And don’t forget the JV. They are undefeated. Half the teams in the league don’t have JVs, but when there is a game it is usually just before the varsity game at the same field, except for Cascade Christian. Their JV plays at the school in Puyallup and the varsity plays at Bonney Lake High School.
Check the VHS website for the latest schedules and come out for some good futbol.
Goooooal!
