When the West Seattle High School Wildcats take the field Thursday night for the game that includes the Senior Night celebration for football, cheer, and band, it won’t be at their home field, Nino Cantu Southwest Athletic Complex. And it won’t be against the originally scheduled opponent, either. They’re now scheduled to play O’Dea at West Seattle Stadium (4470 35th SW) at 7 pm Thursday. Thanks to parent Allison for circulating word of the changes – which also include plans for the football seniors to be recognized with a pre-game ceremony, at 6 pm, and the cheer and band seniors to be recognized at halftime. It’s not only WSHS’s senior night, it’s a “huge game” because it’s also a matchup of the top two teams in the Metro League – West Seattle is undefeated; O’Dea has only one loss, against a non-conference opponent, and this is scheduled as their Senior Night too (WS Stadium is their home field). Allison says they’re hoping to fill the stands for the Wildcats – you can buy your ticket with cash at the stadium or online in advance.

This whole thing has been a cluster of a scheduling. Losing a home game and senior night not being honored — its not the same if WS is the “visiting team.” + the band will not be playing due to weather conditions and having to sit in the uncovered part of the stadium due to being the visitors. All in all, a really poor decision by SPS and the WSHS athletic and administrative leadership

I’m so happy that we have a game for senior night!!!! And THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this happen! Despite comments like this, you are appreciated! I suppose this person doesn’t go to away games where we sit, stand and cheer in an uncovered section, in the elements and survive each game! Let’s go Wildcats!!!!

Would be awesome to get an occasional score if anyone happens to see this. Or, does anyone know if the game is being streamed or on radio? Go Wildcats!

Halftime score: O’Dea leads 28-14 over WSHS.

1st quarter was scoreless; all of the scoring was in the 2nd quarter (5 combined TDs in the last 10min before halftime!)

Well. That was a fun game. Too bad the band didn’t show up. Not a drop of rain. Great turn out. Both teams honored the Seniors. The game was played where it should be. At West Seattle Stadium. Not Chief Sealth. O’dea was bigger faster stronger. Wildcats had heart.
