Standing at right above, that’s West Seattle High School girls-varsity head coach Sonya Elliott, who has been honored as Metro League Coach of the Year for the second time in three years, according to the school’s announcement on Twitter. Another tweet says junior Lydia Giomi has been named league MVP. Our top photo is from right after the team ended the first stage of a stellar season with a 62-20 victory last night over the visiting Franklin Quakers. In case you haven’t seen the Wildcat women play yet this year, here’s a minute we caught on video:

As the final home game of the regular season, last night was also Senior Night:

An especially poignant Senior Night for Coach Elliott, whose departing senior mainstays include her daughter Charli Elliott:

Also honored, Emily Fiso

Annalisa Ursino

Rachel Devore

And Kristine La:

On to the game.

Fiso scored the first five points and finished as the scoring leader with 18.

Lexi Ioane was next with 15.

P.S. The cheer squad’s seniors were honored too – including the new Miss Seattle, Taryn Smith, who sang the national anthem before each game:

We’re now waiting to hear when/where the girls will start postseason play.
