Tonight’s high-school football: All three West Seattle schools win

After scoring its first win in two years last week, Chief Sealth High School (2-2) has now won two games in a row, winning at Ingraham tonight, 21-14. West Seattle High School (3-1) won big over Nathan Hale at Southwest Athletic Complex, 40-7, and Seattle Lutheran (2-2) beat Concrete on the road, 25-12. We’ll add details, and video from the in-town games, shortly.

ADDED 11:35 PM: First, the Wildcats (covered by Patrick): West Seattle shook off last week’s loss to O’Dea and defeated Nathan Hale 40-7 on a night that saw lots of big plays. The Wildcats had an explosive second quarter, running up 28 points before the half. In that quarter, running back Nikko Emm had 78 of the 97 yards he’d finish the night with. Hale’s only drive before halftime was disrupted by Markeem Adams, who came up out of his defensive back position to intercept Hale quarterback Travis Wilson and take it down to the 12-yard line, which led to Danny Phan scoring on the next play. It was not Adams’ only big play of the night — here, just after the start of the third quarter, he scores on a 52 yard pass play.

After the game, West Seattle coach Davis Lura talked about how his team came together tonight.

On the night, WSHS had 178 yards rushing on 20 carries, with 221 yards passing. Markeem Adams finished the night with 122 yards and two touchdowns, while Nikko Emm had nine carried for 97 yards and one touchdown.

From the Sealth game (covered in part by Tracy): We hadn’t originally planned to go up to Ingraham but changed our mind and headed north to see how the Seahawks were doing in the followup to last week’s win over Cleveland. When we arrived in the second quarter, the score was 14-13 Ingraham, but it wasn’t long before Sealth took the lead with a touchdown followed by a 2-point conversion – we caught the TD on Flip video, from a distance:

With that, the score was 21-14 Sealth, and that’s how it remained for the duration of the game. Stat highlight: Senior quarterback Daniel Davis had 1 TD passing, 1 TD rushing. As for the SLHS game – here are some game stats from our partners at the Seattle Times.

    Hey West Seattle Blog! Highlight some other high school sports besides football. I am sure there are some amazing athletes out there that could use some recognition!

    Alison – this past week I met with Sealth’s athletic director Sam Reed and I’m scheduled to meet with WSHS AD George Foster as well. Over the next few weeks we hope to include more sports.

    Previously, we didn’t cover ANY sports consistently, so getting to football consistently is progress, though we agree, it’s only a start. Friday and Saturday nights are a time when not much else is usually going on that we have to cover (no community meetings, etc.) so we can get out to the football games.
    .
    But as Patrick said, we’re working to be able to report on the others – need your help, though: The WSHS volleyball folks have already been kind enough to send results of their matches, and we featured the most recent report.

    .
    Anyone else who can do the same, you send it, we’ll run it. And as we have said before, we are open to running any and all school news – sports and nonsports – but even if we had a staff of 10, we couldn’t get to everything ourselves, plus unless you let us know “Hey, BIG match for the golf team this week!” or whatever, we won’t know about it – so PLEASE send us info!
    .
    All our contact info is here – whatever is convenient for you – including Facebook and Twitter, e-mail, and the phone line we answer 24/7:

    Great coverage on the games. This debate about what sports to cover has been going on for decades. If you want your sport covered become a stringer for the WSB. John Lenoard covers cross country at WS High because he enjoys it.
    The fact is Football gets the most fans, then Boys and Girls Basketball. Don’t mean to speak for the blog, but this is why you see most coverage of these HS sports on TV and Print, same with college and pro.
    Budgets are tight and only so many reporters.
    Bottom line, become a reporter for your sport.

    Exactly. We’d be thrilled to hear from anybody that wanted to take on a certain sport. No need to be a pro, send us the score, any highlight, photo if you got one. Same goes for the non-affiliated-with-schools sports – luckily many of the leagues like WS Little League, WS Soccer Club, have been sharing their big news, especially playoffs, the past couple years, so we in turn can tell the WS world … TR

Sorry, comment time is over.
