Friday, May 7 marked the 4th annual friendly soccer competition between Chief Sealth and the SBOC Internationals at the Denny/Sealth Sports Field. The Mariachi Chief Sealth Band performed just before the game began, and there was a feast of carne asada at the game's completion. Sam Reed is the Chief Sealth Activity Coordinator / Athletic Director and coordinated the event.

The SBOC Internationals are the team from the Secondary Bilingual Orientation Center (SBOC), a Seattle public school in the former Meany Middle School, 301 21st. Avenue East, serving immigrants aged 10-21. The students come from over 20 different countries. The SBOC helps students learn English and become enculturated before moving to mainstream schools.

"I am the former principal of SBOC, a high school with immigrants and refugees who recently arrived to America," said Chief Sealth Principal John Boyd, who helped organize the game. "Their team is called the Internationals with players from Iraq, Somalia, Ethiopia and other countries.

"It's grown to be a great community event," Boyd said of the Carne Asada Bowl. "Chief Sealth is now an international school, and soccer is a sport that fits into our internationalism, who we are, and who we want to be."

Chief Sealth won 2-0, but all felt like winners after the exhibition game.
