That video clip follows the one and only touchdown managed by the Chief Sealth International High School Seahawks in their first and last playoff game of the year tonight at Memorial Stadium.

The Seattle Prep Panthers eventually overwhelmed Sealth, 33-8.

The Seahawks came into the season game with a 6-2 record under first-year head coach Ted Rodriguez.

But Prep’s defense kept them scoreless in the first half, which ended with the Seahawks down 24-0 after the Panthers got two TDs in the span of less than half a minute shortly before halftime.

That lone Sealth touchdown came with a little over five minutes left in the third quarter, and a two-point conversion followed. But that’s where the comeback stopped.

The Seahawks’ season isn’t technically over – they have to play one more game to round out a 10-game season, but who and when are not yet settled. What is settled: This was Sealth’s best football season in many years.

    This loss hurts, but I’m proud of this team and coach.

    Too bad, but they had such an awesome season. Good job everyone!

    Well how could it not have been their best season in many years?

    When, according to WSB above, they “came into the season with a 6-2 record”.

    What other athletic team in any sport anywhere has that luxury?

    And why doesn’t anybody research and report exactly how long it has been since Sealth had such a good record?   They’ve never moved to another city, they’ve never been renamed… it should be easy to do!

      Sorry, I meant “came into the game.” Thanks for the indirect error report, will fix. As for the historical reference, yes, we’ll be checking. It was an offhand remark to us on Friday night and we won’t be able to follow up until tomorrow. Our archives only go into the mid-2000s. – TR

Sorry, comment time is over.
