The 2015-2016 season saw many ECFC players take home state and league honors. 19 players competed in the WA State Championships with their HS teams --- one state champion(!), two semi-finalists, and two quarter-finalists. SAAS - 1A WA State Champions (Luca kneeling on right by GK, Oci #3) Luca Barsher M97G, Reid Rogers M97G and Oci Tressemer M00G helped lead Seattle Academy to their first 1A WA State Championship on Saturday! In the semi-finals game, they faced Univ Prep and won 3-1 (Luca put in the 3rd goal on a PK). In the finals, they faced Connell, who was unbeaten for the season. The game ended 2-2 and remained 2-2 in overtime thus sending the game to PKs where both Luca and Reid took to the mark and buried their shots. On top of winning the state championships, SAAS was the 1A Academic Team State Champions with a team average GPA of 3.542. Congratulations!
