Chief Sealth hosted a match against the Newport Knights that initially went well for the Seahawks.

Sealth's Mori Tsuchiya scored a goal at the 19:09 in the first half to go up 1-0 and carried that lead into the second half until a miscue by a Sealth defenseman, led to a goal by the Knights tying the match 1-1 at 3:55 into the half.

The Seahawks seemed deflated by the unfortunate turn of events and the Knights took advantage of the Sealth letdown scoring five minutes later to push the score to 2-1.

There was plenty of time for Sealth to mount a comeback but the game was called due to a severe injury to Newport player Dimitri Popoff who suffered a broken arm while defending against a Seahawk attack on Newport’s goal in the twenty first minute of the second half.

Popoff had to be removed off the pitch by ambulance and the truncated match ended in a 2-1 victory for the Newport Knights.

He was in good spirits and waved to the crowd as he was put into the ambulance.

Please join The Herald and Chief Sealth High School in wishing Dimitri Popoff a speedy recovery.

On a beautiful day for baseball the Chief Sealth Seahawks took control of the Vashon Island Pirates.

In the third inning and with two runners on base, outfielder Max Sarver stepped up and blasted a two run double into centerfield to break a scoreless game.
Sarver would also come home and the Seahawks left the third inning with a 3-0 lead.

Chief Sealth would add another run in the fourth and the game ended with a Seahawk 4-1 victory.

Vashon’s only score came in the 5th when a wild pitch by pitcher Marley Lucas allowed a Pirate base runner to get home.

Lucas did what he’s supposed to, cover the plate.

He received the ball in time to tag the runner but the umpire called safe.
Lucas and the crowd watching argued that the base runner was out but the umpire saw it differently and the run scored.

That would be the only run for Vashon.

The Seahawks play again on Wednesday March 13th when they travel to Ingraham to face the Rams.

At approximately 12:15 p.m. on Saturday, March 9, the Seattle Fire Department responded to a 911 call at Golden Sunset, an apartment complex for people ages 62 and up across from the Ballard Locks.

As per rule for situations involving CPR, seven medics arrived on the scene in one ambulance and two firetrucks.

Bystanders said an elderly woman had a heart attack, but the Fire Department was able to respond fast enough to stabilize her and take her to the hospital.

We don't know the condition of the woman at the hospital. If you have any updates, contact us.
