PHOTOS BY OLIVER HAMLIN FOR WSB

Before tonight’s basketball clashes between West Seattle High School and Chief Sealth International High School, our area’s two biggest high schools met up in another sport this past Saturday – flag football. Chief Sealth won in an overtime thriller, 24-23. Photojournalist Oliver Hamlin was there for WSB:

On social media, the Sealth team referred to this game as the “mini-Huling Bowl,” after the WSHS-Sealth football faceoff every fall.
