In a doubleheader last night at Nino Cantu Southwest Athletic Complex, both high-school varsity football teams scored victories by keeping their opponents scoreless. West Seattle High School (3-3) opened the night against Lakeside, winning 13-0; Chief Sealth International High School (5-1) closed the night with a 50-0 win over Cleveland. Next Friday (October 18), WSHS plays Ingraham at NCSWAC at 4:30 pm, while CSIHS is on the road, 7:45 pm at Nathan Hale.
How many players on the team-? You don’t need to play starters in this situation -but there may not be many more than the starters. What would you have them do-run around in circles?
You’re referring to the roster on Max Preps. That number includes players from several previous seasons because Max Preps gets their data from the team’s Hudl account. That account still has many alumni listed as team members so they can maintain access to their film after they graduate. Sealth has about 65 players in the entire program, 32 of which were suited Friday night. They played the second half with their 3rd string Freshman QB, and their 4th, 5th, and 6th running back on the depth chart. The defense was also largely made up of subs and JV players in the second half. Cleveland has been outscored 182-22 in the 4 games they’ve played this season. That means they are allowing an average of 45.5 points per game. The Cleveland athletic director actually thanked the Sealth players and coaches after the game for showing good sportsmanship. He said the score could have easily been 120-0. Sealth is currently ranked 16th in the state for 2A. Not much more they could have done. Thanks for following the team!
They started with back ups and JV kids in knowing it wasn’t a strong opponent. They did lay off. They also kneeled on the ball instead of scoring at the end. Like Anne asked, should they have had them run in circles? The coaches for Sealth always show great sportsmanship.
I was only at the first game (WSHS vs Lakeside) but these kids have plenty of sportsmanship. I saw kids helping others on the opposite team get back up multiple times.
They switched out the starting line up after half time. Both teams showed great sportsmanship and the Cleveland players after the game thanked some Sealth players for doing so. Very proud of the boys last night.
Sorry, comment time is over.
