Bi/District- The Eastlake Wolves brought the rain with them to the game today. In a down pour that had standing water on the field Eastlake of the KingCo league defeated Skyview 2-0 ending the Storm's season. Eastlake continues on to the state tournament.
District Championship- The district championship game played out the same as the first two meeting between the Storm and Tigers, very physical and a Skyview win. Skyview defeated Battle Ground 3-0 to claim their second District 4 championship in as many years.
From the Columbian's Paul Danzer- BATTLE GROUND — Playing a district championship match two days before the bi-district playoff round might not be the ideal reward for a league champion.
But the Skyview girls soccer team embraced that situation on Thursday.
The 4A Greater St. Helens League champions asserted themselves almost start to finish, demonstrating championship form with a 3-0 win over Battle Ground at District Stadium.
The third win of the season over the Tigers mean the Storm will host Eastlake of Sammamish at 2 p.m. on Saturday at Kiggins Bowl. The Tigers will travel to take on Skyline of Sammamish at the same time Saturday.
"They (the Tigers) had nothing to lose tonight," Skyview defender Madison Stumpf said. "We knew there was a lot on the line, because if you win league and you lose districts, it’s not exactly the greatest thing and it kind of diminishes our league (title) to nothing. So we decided to come out and take districts, too."
On a night when rain and wind made controlling the ball difficult, Skyview was the more decisive squad going after loose balls.
The hustling Storm limited Battle Ground’s possession, and turned three take-aways in midfield into quick goals.
The big one was the first one, which was scored by Ileanna Zabella 26 minutes into the match with the Storm playing into a gusty cross-field wind.
"It really started with hard work," said Sheaffer Skadsen, who assisted on Zabella’s goal. "Brittany (Wilson) fought hard to win the ball and squared the ball over to me, and I played it through."
Skadsen scored to make it 2-0 six minutes into the second half. Samantha Miles cut off a Battle Ground clearance and slotted a pass between defenders to give Skadsen a clean run at the goal.
Wilson finished the scoring later in the half, making a long counter-attack charge up the middle of the field as Battle Ground threw players forward in an attempt to score.
"They beat us to the ball every single time," Battle Ground coach JJ Klaus said. "When a team gets to the ball first you’re just playing defense the whole entire time. And they did a great job of taking us out of our game and beating us to the ball."
Battle Ground’s best scoring chance came about 16 minutes after halftime, but Mallory Nickles recovered to make a sliding tackle to deny Cassie Black a certain goal.
The bi-district playoff round is traditionally tough for 4A GSHL teams. But Skyview coach Darin DeGrande said his team can advance on Saturday if the effort remains strong.
"When they work together for 80 minutes, and work hard for those 80 minutes, they can play with anybody," DeGrande said.
Game #10 The Skyview Storm finished the last game of the season the same way they finished the previous nine games. The Storm defeated the Heritage Timberwolves 3-1 in the final game of league. Cassie Ripley scored the hat trick with assists come from Sami Miles and two fromShaeffer Skadsen

The 2-1 win improves the Storm to 7-0 in the Class 4A Greater St. Helens League, and gives them a two-game lead on the second-place Tigers with three league matches left to play. Skadsen scored from a nice assist by Brittany Wilson to give Skyview a 1-0 lead. Later in the first half, she assisted on a goal by Ileanna Zaballa.
