Chief Sealth senior, #24, Abdinasir Galgalo (bright blue & partially hidden) scores the third goal late in the game against West Seattle High School. Chief Sealth won 4-0, all goals scored in the second half, on the new Delridge Playfield that opened last week.
The Chief Sealth Seahawks and West Seattle High School Wildcats varsity soccer teams were evenly matched in the first half at 0-0, but the Hawks broke away in the second half with four unanswered goals. They were made by, in order:
# 7, Simon Crean, Junior
# 8, Brandon Rosarion, Junior
#24 Abdinasar Galgalo Senior
#19 Hector Ramirez, Senior
"We came out kind of flat the first half," said head coach Ron Johnson. "Second half we got to our game speed. All four goals were in the second half. Last year we were able to beat West Seattle two times in a row. That was the first time in 12 years I've been able to do that. Chief Sealth has got over 60 players on our three teams, Varsity, we have a JV and C team. It's going to be nice once the rubber gets packed in."
"The field is very nice," said #16, Mohamed Harun, a senior. "It's very comfortable. You don't get injured that much on this field. This one is way better," he said, comparing the new field to Denny/Sealth Sports Field.
"I'm the assistant to the assistant," giggled Chief Sealth sophomore, Andrea Olmedo, carrying the big black mesh bag of soccer balls toward the bus. She likes the new field and loves Chief Sealth's new campus, she said.
