West Seattle High School celebrated Senior Night and kicked off homecoming weekend on Friday at Nino Cantu Southwest Athletic Complex, as the hometown Wildcats football team battled a tough Ingraham team, losing 28-13.

WSHS seniors participating in football, cheer and band (and their families) were honored at the game:

With a good crowd in attendance:

After trading turnovers in the 1st quarter, the visiting Rams scored on a short run with 1:37 remaining in the quarter to take a 7-0 lead over the Wildcats.

WSHS answered with 7:50 remaining in the 2nd quarter, scoring on a reception by senior and captain Myles Mutchler on a pass from sophomore quarterback Desmond Parkinson:

Junior kicker Scott Bremen converted the extra point to tie the score at 7-7.

Moments before halftime, Ingraham scored a touchdown and extra point to take a 14-7 lead. During halftime, seniors were honored and the WSHS marching band entertained the crowd:

After a scoreless 3rd quarter, the Rams scored a touchdown in the 4th to take a 21-7 lead. WSHS then drove into the red zone but came away scoreless, and then Ingraham scored again on a long touchdown to go up 28-7.

The Wildcats got a late spark with 1:16 left, as dynamic senior Sam Turner returned a kick for a long touchdown. After an unsuccessful conversion attempt, the final score was 28-13 in favor of Ingraham.

WSHS plays on the road at Nathan Hale next week to wrap up the regular season schedule.
