Friday Harbor and Orcas Island will play for the state soccer championship on Saturday
Posted November 18, 2022 at 10:03 pm by Jeff Arnim
The boys soccer teams from both Friday Harbor High School and Orcas Island High School won their state semi-final games on Friday afternoon, setting up a Saturday showdown for the state title. The top-seeded Wolverines knocked off fourth-seeded Saint George’s School of Spokane 2-1 in a shootout just a few hours after the third-seeded Vikings beat Mount Vernon Christian 1-0.
Friday Harbor takes on Orcas tomorrow at 3 p.m. at Renton Memorial Stadium. The winner becomes the 1B/2B state champion.
Saturday’s game marks the fourth of the season between the two schools. Friday Harbor beat Orcas 2-1 in a neutral-site shootout on Nov. 7 to win the bi-district championship and advance to state. The Wolverines also lost to the Vikings 3-2 at home on Oct. 11 and won 1-0 at Orcas on Sept. 20.

Our family has for many decades experienced the best team field sport in the world, soccer. As we prepare for a highly tainted World Cup bought and paid for by Qatar this outcome for Orcas and San Juan boys teams is especially pleasing. A season of sweat and grass stains, tactical coaching and players (and their families) working through injuries – not to mention head to head games several times – this is a sublime outcome. A State Championship!!
I hope for a fantastic game played in the true spirit, mutual respect and comaradary of the world’s game.
