Chief Sealth's Aden Fidow sheds a defender in the Seahawks convincing 10-0 win over West Seattle on March 15. The Seahawks are 5-0 in Metro play and Fidow is the league's top scorer.
Five consecutive wins into a 14 match season, the Chief Sealth Boys’ Varsity soccer team is a force to be reckoned with in this year’s Metro league.
The wins have come quickly and convincingly, with high scoring tallies and four clean sheet shutouts (including a non-conference draw against Garfield on March 9).
Here are the Seahawks in-conference results so far:
March 13: Chief Sealth 4, Rainier Beach 2
March 15: Chief Sealth 10, West Seattle 0
March 20: Chief Sealth 4, Franklin 0
March 23: Chief Sealth 5, Ingraham 1
March 27: Chief Sealth 2, Lakeside 0
According to the Seattle Times High School Sports website, the 5-0 start puts Sealth at the top of the Metro-Sound division with Nathan Hale trailing closely at 4-1. They lead all Metro action, including Metro-Mountain.
Chief Sealth players Aden Fidow and Mori Tsuchiya are first and second respectively in Metro-wide personal stats. Fidow has seven goals and one assist for 15 points and Tsuchiya has five goals and four assists for 14 points. Goalkeeper Kristian Nilssen has three conference shutouts for a three way tie up top with Rick Lum of O’Dea and Garrett de Cilla of Eastside Catholic.
