Tonight, the boys – Chief Sealth High School edged West Seattle High School in varsity basketball, 37-36. (We tweeted it as-it-happened at @wsblive.) ADDED 10:35 PM: In our video clip, that’s the Seahawks’ Keon Lewis who picked up the shooting foul off West Seattle’s LeTrey Newsome with only one second on the clock. Lewis, who was perfect at the free-throw line all night, sank his first shot to tie the game up, and then put Sealth ahead with his second shot.

Sealth managed to put a six-point cushion between themselves and West Seattle for long stretches of the game. Both teams had to shake off a herky-jerky start to the game that saw the referees stopping action several times to reset the shot clock. By halftime, West Seattle managed to tie the game at 14 all, but in the third, Sealth regained the edge as West Seattle scored only four points, three of those coming off a field goal by Newsome.

The Wildcats came charging back in the fourth quarter by controlling the rebounds and working off the fast break to finally go ahead of Sealth with less than 90 seconds to go. Both teams had players go to the foul line in that time, but as Sealth was to the line last, they took the game.

Tomorrow night, again at WSHS, it’s the girls’ turn.
