Category 5 Hurricane HQ – 2026

October 6, 2026. MVC AND ORCAS ISLAND TO MEET UP.
The Hurricanes will ferry over to Orcas Island and meet up with the Vikings for a Wednesday afternoon match at 4:00PM on the campus field in Eastsound.
The Northwest League/District One match will feature the WIAA’s top two listed boys’ soccer schools currently shown on their RPI.
The winner will have the inside track toward claiming the Northwest League championship and the top-seed into the District One and Two Tournament the first week of November. The loser of the match will still find themselves in a good spot as they face the rest of the regular season.
While some supporters are seeing this as a huge match (and it is somewhat big), the outcome most likely will not be a season-defining match for either school or their program.
Looking around the State, it appears reasonable to think that Mount Vernon Christian and Orcas Island could well meet again once or twice during the postseason.
Each school may not be at full strength for the match as both are dealing with injuries and players that will not suit up for the contest.
Two weeks ago, the Hurricanes and Vikings played to a scoreless, non-league/district draw on the field at MVC.
September 27, 2026. SHARING SOCCER SHORTS.
No, not something players wear! Here are a handful of short soccer items that site followers might be interested in.
Know about RPI Listings
At this time in the season, they are not entirely accurate, they are not a ranking of the best schools, and they do not necessarily indicate strength of schools. Don’t be fooled by some of the schools’ listings.
Defense and Shutouts
The Hurricanes are the only school statewide that has recorded four shutouts thus far. There are four schools around the State that have produced three shutouts.
MVC’s defense has allowed just two goals in their five matches, which is also at or near the best statewide. Several schools have given up three goals. Upper Columbia Academy has not allowed a goal in their three matches against high school opposition. They gave up four goals in an UCA Alumni match today in which the Varsity prevailed, 5-4.
Best of Districts
From early results, it appears that District One schools are playing at a higher level than elsewhere around the State. (listed alphabetically) Friday Harbor, Mount Vernon Christian, Orcas Island and Providence Classical Christian lead the schools from District One.
Only Auburn Adventist Academy and Evergreen Lutheran, who lost 7-1 to Orcas Island, seem most competitive from District Two.
The soccer schools that make up District Five/Six are anyone’s guess with Chesterton Academy, Mabton, Prescott, Saint George’s and Upper Columbia Academy all having beaten or played to a draw with each other. Chesterton Academy and Saint George’s, who each were without three to five starters due to injuries and club commitments the weekend MVC played in Spokane, have not won consistently within their district play yet. Mabton and Upper Columbia Academy are currently leading the league east of the Cascades.
Six schools from the District One/Two Tournament in November and two schools from the District Five/Six Tournament will advance to the 1B/2B State Quarterfinals November 13 or 14.
Alumni Coaches
A little late in recognizing two former Boys’ Soccer program stellar Hurricane players who are back coaching the Boys’ and Girls’ programs at the school. Tyler Houtsma, who played for the Hurricanes from 2011-2014 and was one of the leaders for the 2014 State Championship year, is in his fifth season as an assistant coach with Head Coach Jeremiah Wohlgemuth. Jeffrey McClelland, who was a standout Hurricane from 2006-2009, has taken over as the head Coach of the Girls’ Soccer program after previously being an assistant coach.
