The Chief Sealth Seahawks boys basketball team know they are good, it shows. To succeed, you need confidence, they have confidence. Going into a game knowing you have a better record than your opponent can sometimes be a letdown, it wasn't. Before the game the Seahawks were 7-3 conference, 11-6 overall while the Bainbridge Spartans on the other hand are 3-6 conference and 4-10 overall.
Good teams can sometimes play down to their competition, not this time. The Seahawks were at the top of their game with their swarming defense, sharp passes and driving offense. That swarming defense forced the Spartans into making many turnovers which turned into Seahawk points. As they say, defense can spark the offense.
The game up to halftime was actually pretty close with Chief Sealth leading Bainbridge 30-22. It was the 3rd quarter when the Seahawks pulled away outscoring the Spartans 21-5. Leading the way in scoring for Chief Sealth was senior guard Keon Lewis and senior forward Abdi Mohamed scoring 20 and 15 respectively.
If they can keep up their enthusiasm and confidence and play their style of basketball who knows how far it will take them. You want to be playing your best basketball at the end of the regular season leading into the playoffs. They currently have a 3 game win streak so with 4 remaining games it's up to them. Lets see how much further they can extend that win streak.
