The West Seattle High School Wildcats roared in their 3-0 varsity-volleyball victory over the Chief Sealth International High School Seahawks on Thursday night. But WSHS’s home-court win wasn’t the runaway you might assume from that score.

None of the games was a lopsided win. Sealth ran off seven unanswered points at the start of the first game, which WSHS won, 25-23.

The Wildcats got out to an early lead in the second game and held it easily for a 25-18 win, and then the third game was close, WSHS 25, Sealth 23.

The two teams have a rematch at 7 pm next Wednesday (October 12th) in the Chief Sealth gym.

Before the rematch, according to their online schedules, WSHS visits Roosevelt at 7 pm next Tuesday, and Sealth plays in a tournament up at Mount Vernon this Saturday.
