SHORELINE--Seattle Christian claimed its ninth state Class 1A tournament girls soccer title in school history Saturday with a 3-0 victory over Cascade High School of Leavenworth.
The Warriors won the championship for the first time since 2006 in the action under sunny afternoon skies at Shoreline Stadium north of Seattle, improving their season record to 19-2-1 while dropping Cascade's final mark to 18-2-1.
Megan Nielsen put the SeaTac private school on the scoreboard first, launching a 25-yard shot that found the net in the fourth minute of play.
Abi Kim padded the lead in the 66th minute with a goal -- her 41st of the season -- and Thea Nelson scored the third three minutes after that.
Seattle Christian was playing in the state tournament for the fourth year in a row.

SCS 2, King's 1
SHORELINE--The first step proved to be the most difficult for Seattle Christian in the state 1A semifinals Friday, as the Warriors fought their way to a 2-1 victory over rival King's on Friday afternoon at Shoreline Stadium.
King's went on to defeat Connell in the third place game on Saturday, 4-0.
Football
Neah Bay 62, Seattle Lutheran 12
SILVERDALE--Seattle Lutheran's sensational season ended with a 62-12 state quarterfinal loss to defending state champion Neah Bay at Silverdale Stadium on Friday night.
The Saints had trouble stopping the Red Devils in the Class 1B -- or eight-man -- football action. All other classifications play regular 11-man football.
Seattle Lutheran of West Seattle is playing only its second season of eight-man football after being a 2B school before that.
The Saints took second place to Evergreen Lutheran during the regular SeaTac League season but were aiming to reach state semifinal action to be played this weekend in the Tacoma Dome.
