BHS sports: boys soccer and girls softball teams win Metro League Championships

Congratulations to Ballard High School’s boys soccer and girls softball teams for their victories in the Metro League Championships.

The Beaver girls celebrated their 3-1 win over the West Seattle Wildcats on May 15 at the Southwest Athletic Complex. Both teams now advance into this week’s Sea-King District 2 tournament.

BHS boys soccer celebrated a 3-1 win over Roosevelt in the championship match on Friday. The Beavers haven’t had a boys soccer team this strong in nearly 20 years, according to coach Brian Wardlaw. “It’s been a long time since Ballard’s been at playoffs, and obviously to state now,” Wardlaw told KIRO. “We’re excited to be playing in these situations, and I know the boys are really excited too.”

The boys soccer team now plays against Edmonds-Woodway tonight at 5:30 p.m. at Interbay for the first round of the state championships.
