West Seattle High School Wildcats Stay Perfect with Shutout Victory Over Chief Sealth IHS
The sun broke through Seattle's spring clouds just in time for one of the city's most anticipated crosstown rivalries. West Seattle High School's boys' soccer team delivered a statement performance on Monday evening, shutting out Chief Sealth International High School 2-0 at Nino Cantu Southwest Athletic Complex to remain undefeated on the season.
Wildcats Extend Unbeaten Streak
Head Coach Shaun Spencer's Wildcats proved why they've been the class of the crosstown competition, dominating possession and creating consistent scoring opportunities throughout the match. The defense was particularly impressive, holding the Seahawks scoreless in what shaped up as a defensive battle between two programs hungry for bragging rights in West Seattle.
Sophomore Oliver Miller, wearing number 18, opened the scoring with a well-executed finish that set the tone for the Wildcats' performance. Senior Judah Director, the team's number 11, added an insurance goal later in the match to seal the victory. Director's presence on the field has been crucial for West Seattle's undefeated campaign, and his ability to finish in crucial moments continues to make the Wildcats a force in WIAA competition.
Chief Sealth Adjusts to New Leadership
Interim Head Coach Cade Cooke's Chief Sealth squad faced a tough test against an undefeated rival and showed resilience despite the loss. While the Seahawks couldn't find the back of the net, they competed throughout and will look to bounce back quickly with another crosstown opponent on the horizon.
The loss doesn't define the Seahawks' season, but it does highlight the gap between the two programs at this moment. Cooke has the task of stabilizing the program under interim leadership while developing players who can compete with the city's elite squads.
What's Next for Both Programs
West Seattle has a quick turnaround, hosting Seattle Academy at Walt Hundley Playfield on Wednesday, March 26 at 4 pm. The Wildcats will be looking to extend their unbeaten streak against a competitive non-league opponent.
Chief Sealth travels to Franklin on the same evening for a 5 pm kickoff, seeking a confidence-building victory after the shutout loss. Both teams know there's plenty of season left to play, and Wednesday's matches will provide valuable momentum heading into the final stretch.
The crosstown rivalry delivered exactly what fans expected, showcasing the quality of boys' soccer in West Seattle and setting the stage for an interesting final run toward the WIAA playoffs.
