Scappoose won the meet with 44 points, while Forks had 97 (Cross country is like golf in which lower scores are better.).

East Jefferson vs. Cascade Christian

PORT TOWNSEND — The East Jefferson girls soccer team hopes to learn later this week if a game stopped at halftime due to smoke in Fife will be finished or if a 2-1 Cascade Christian lead will be allowed to stand as a complete game.

The game was stopped because the Air Quality Index had dropped to 157, which is considered “unhealthy.”

Coach Robert Cantley said he was initially told that it was a Cascade Christian victory, but in reviewing Washington Interscholastic Activities Association rules about a game called due to weather conditions, Cantley said there is a provision that games will be finished from the point they were stopped. He said East Jefferson plans to file an appeal today.

Cantley said the AQI was 110 at the beginning of the game, which is “unhealthy for at-risk persons.” “I didn’t feel good about starting the game,” he said.

In the half of play, he said the Rivals gave up a couple of soft goals to Cascade Christian and missed a penalty kick.

But then Ava Shiflett scored on a 30-yard boot on a free kick to get the Rivals back in the game.

“I’ve never had a game stopped due to weather. I think smoke is a relatively new issue we’re going to have to deal with,” Cantley said.
