The volleyball squad from Chief Sealth International High School went 1-1 Saturday at the District 2 2A championships hosted at Evergreen High School in White Center, and the Seahawks will head to Yakima next weekend for the state tournament.

In their first match of the day against Cedarcrest, Sealth dropped a hard-fought 5-set contest (25-21, 20-25, 25-9, 26-28, 13-15), but then rallied with a 4-set win (25-17, 25-18, 19-25, 25-19) over Nathan Hale (which had topped Lindbergh earlier in the day).

Here are some photos of the Sealth squad in action, during today’s first game:
