At Southwest Athletic Complex on Friday night, Chief Sealth International High School‘s homecoming game vs. Ingraham ended in a 1-point loss, 13-12. But before we get to the details, an update on a frightening incident that stopped the game for a while just before the end of the first half:

Sealth senior Andrew Leota was down for about 20 minutes before being taken to a medic unit. Both teams and their cheer squads made a line to the ambulance and applauded as the stretcher went by.

While injuries are not uncommon at football games, many already had a nearby tragedy on their mind, the death of Evergreen player Kenney Bui after an injury in Burien a week earlier, so that gave this even more gravity. This injury, however, did not appear to be major. Sealth athletic director Ernest Policarpio told us that Andrew thought he “took a helmet to his lower back” and was doing better as he was taken to the hospital for evaluation. The game eventually resumed and the first half was finished. We will be checking on his condition.

Here’s the rest of the story from the game:

WSB’s Patrick Sand was at SWAC and reports that, largely, both teams played great defense. Sealth’s defense shut down all but a few of Ingraham’s long drives.

Sealth got two touchdowns. In the first half, senior defensive back C’zhai Terrell (seen above in a different series) picked off an Ingraham pass and ran 65 yards for a touchdown. (Sealth’s point-after failed.)

Sealth’s second touchdown came with less than a minute remaining.

Senior Daron Camacho ran 12 yards for the score. The Seahawks’ two-point attempt failed, so the game wound up 13-12 Ingraham.

It was also senior night:

The game was followed by the homecoming dance at CSIHS, across the street from SWAC.

Next week, it’s the annual Huling Bowl game between Sealth and West Seattle High School, 7 pm Friday (October 16th) at SWAC (2801 SW Thistle).
