It may not have felt like it lately, but spring has sprung for West Seattle-area high school athletes.

Practices across the state opened Monday, Feb. 27 and ran throughout last week. They are continuing every day this week before games can begin Friday for athletes with enough practices in.

The boys soccer season at Chief Sealth leads the way, starting with a 4 p.m. game Friday against Garfield at the Southwest Athletic Complex's turf field.

Sealth and Seattle Lutheran then open the baseball season with a 12 p.m. game Saturday against each other. That will be played on the baseball diamond at SWAC, which is adjacent to Chief Sealth.

Baseball will kick off the spring season at West Seattle.

Teams will be gunning to stay alive for state weekend, which is Memorial Day weekend May 25-26.
