From Chief Sealth news: Chief Sealth is launching their first all-girls Ultimate Frisbee team and they need YOUR help to get jerseys.

Our current seniors won the league their freshman year, and after a few rebuilding years, they’re back on top again. They crushed a really solid Bainbridge Island team (where I used to coach before Ingraham) in the semifinals, and then beat an incredibly athletically dominant team from Skyline High by one point in the finals.

Ultimate is a self-refereed sport, and even though play got very intense, everybody kept their cool and made us all proud. We’re sad to lose our incredible seniors at the end of this year, but luckily we only...

I see that Ballard High School is celebrating two big sports wins. The girls Fastpitch team took the Metro championship beating West Seattle. The boys soccer team took the Metro championship, beating Roosevelt. As well, the Chief Sealth girls track team members of the 4x100 won first in the Metro-All City Track meet yesterday. Update: Nathan Hale's girls varsity Ultimate team took the Metro championship beating Franklin. Good job to all who the students who worked so hard and competed.
