I just heard from my wife that John Fishbaugher signed with the Seattle Sounders for the 2008 soccer season!
We are so happy for John and his family! The Fishbaughers were (and still are!) wonderful 'neighbors' for years when we owned a home nearby. John helped me paint my house; and his friends and brother and sister used to play soccer in our backyard!
John is a native of Redmond. He was First Team All-State at Redmond High School, I think under Coach Pat Scheibe. Coach *Scheibe lives just down the street. The Redmond Mustang site is "here".
John was a 4-year starter at Seattle University and an "A student." At college John was the recipient of many conference awards and was a First Team All-American in 2007. As a leader in the Redhawks midfield and defense, John was a member of the Redhawks 2004 NCAA division II national championship and the 2007 side that won the GNAC.
John Fishbaugher, looks to add versatility to the Sounders midfield for the 2008 season. My wife tells me John started in the first or second Sounder game this year! John wears the number 13, weighs 175 pounds and is 5'10".
The Sounder season has just started and runs to September 10. They were National Champions four times -- 1995, 1996, 2005, and 2007! Season tickets are $195 and a youth package is $75.
GO JOHN!
*On another note: Assistant RHS Coach Doug Kimball coached Pat Scheibe years ago. Mr. Kimball started the soccer program 33 years ago not knowing anything about soccer. He has been an inspiration! Doug is retiring this year and is up for the "Golden Apple Award". The "Seattle Times" wrote an article about Coach Kimball "here".
