SEATTLE — The Seattle Sounders won the 2017 Story of the Year at the 82nd annual Sports Star of the Year awards at the Paramount Theatre on Wednesday night after winning their first MLS title in December.
Sounders owner Adrian Hanauer, head coach Brian Schmetzer, forward Jordan Morris and Chief Operating Officer Bart Wiley accepted the award, one that meant a little something extra to the Seattle native Schmetzer.
“It’s great for all the fans who have been here for a long time,” Schmetzer said. “It’ll take a few more years of reflection.
