Ex-West Seattle High School star Aaron Grymes’ first bowl win

| West Seattle people | WS & Sports

That clip we found on YouTube shows the crazy scene – what another YouTuber described as a “euphoric storming of the field” — after the University of Idaho Vandals’ one-point win over Bowling Green in the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise on Wednesday. This is notable for West Seattle, as pointed out in this note Allison sent this afternoon:

Former West Seattle High School standout, Aaron Grymes who now plays college football at University of Idaho, has won his first bowl game with the Vandals in the Humanitarian Bowl. They defeated Bowling Green St. 43-42.

Allison thought Westside supporters would want to hear this, if they hadn’t already. According to these game stats, he had two tackles in the game. (It was a year ago this month that Grymes changed his mind about college and decided to go to Idaho instead of UW.)

That was the best bowl game of the year, and I’m really glad that Aaron was a part of it. I was one of the judges on his senior presentation and he did a great job. Very well-spoken kid.

I played football for the Vandals in the 80’s, so I’m glad a local like Aaron has brought them back to success. He worked his way to becoming a starter for them, which speaks volumes about his ability. I look forward to watching him the next three years!

Sorry, comment time is over.
