The Chief Sealth High School boys' soccer team will play for bragging rights in the 3rd annual Carne Asada Bowl against Seattle’s Bilingual Orientation Center (BOC) on Friday, May 8 at 3:30 p.m. at the Southwest Athletic Complex (SWAC).

Created as a community event by Proyecto Saber staff member Delfino Munoz, SBOC Principal Martin O’Callaghan and Sealth Principal John Boyd, who previously served in the same role at the BOC, the Carne Asada Bowl matches up the Seahawks varsity team against the BOC varsity team in an afternoon of competition and fun.

Festivities include a performance by the Seahawk Mariachi Band and a post-game barbeque featuring authentic Mexican cuisine including Carne Asada grilled by Delfino Munoz, who helps lead Sealth’s Proyecto Saber program.

“This is a great opportunity for both schools to showcase the talent and diversity of the students and it is a lot of fun,” said Boyd. “Last year we had African Drummers, our Mariachi band and just a great spirit of competition and camaraderie."

Created in 2006, Sealth leads the series 2-0 and currently displays with pride the 36 inch trophy given to winner of the game. Led by Coach Ron Johnson, the Seahawks (4-6-1, 3rd place Metro Sound 3A) are fighting for a playoff spot behind the leadership of a strong senior class. Coached by Juan Carlos Torres, the BOC plays a non-league schedule matched against the strongest competition in the Metro League.

“Two great schools, two great teams and good food,” said Delfino Munoz. “What more could you want? The game highlights the deep cultural connections between the two schools and celebrates our diversity through a feast of Carne Asada.”

Admission to the Carne Asada Bowl is free with food available first to players and families of both teams. The community is invited to attend and enjoy the festivities.
