High-school football: Chief Sealth wins; West Seattle loses

(2nd Sealth touchdown, #24 Devante Meullion, so soon after the start of the 4th quarter we’d barely hit “record” – he scored the Seahawks’ 1st TD too)
9:27 PM: Two varsity football games tonight involving local high schools, and the first final is in: Chief Sealth International High School beat Ingraham HS at home, 12-6. Sealth had made it 12-0 by scoring its second TD just a few seconds into the 4th quarter (video added above); Ingraham scored its only TD with about 7:33 left in that same quarter, and that was the final scoring of the game. (Sealth beat Ingraham last September too.) West Seattle High School is still playing at Nathan Hale (we’re tweeting at @wsblive).

9:51 PM UPDATE: Final score just in from the WSHS game – Hale 56, West Seattle 26. (added 11:30 pm) The Wildcats’ final TD, with seconds left in the game:

That’s Isaiah Johnson, who scored three TD’s for WSHS – the other one happened in a memorable moment in the second quarter, when Isaac Johnson squibbed a punt that went straight up and came straight back down; when the ball hit the ground it bounced backward until it was behind the original line of scrimmage. At that point, it was ruled “live,” and Isaac picked it up and ran for a score.

NEXT: Sealth vs. Cleveland at Memorial Stadium downtown next Friday, 5 pm. WSHS vs. O’Dea at West Seattle Stadium next Friday, 7 pm.

ONE MORE NOTE: The pregame rally and barbecue at Chief Sealth included a 50-year reunion – the Class of 1960!

    Because the marching band was up there going to town, it was actually fun to sit in the SWAC parking lot and wait for my passengers! My advance apologies to the neighbors, but the thought crossed my mind that it would sure be cool if they could march in drumline back over to school :P Way to go, Seahawks (and nice to hear there were some 50-yr alums there last night too)!

      We just missed them – I was still sitting in the stands sending Twitter/FB updates on the final score and they were on the other side of the chain link fence as we headed out – we did shoot the pre-game version of the band parade last week (and included it in our coverage). There was a patient-looking mom parked by our car in the west sector of the lot when The Teenager and I went to leave, maybe that was you ;) – TR

Sorry, comment time is over.
