Sealth and West Seattle High Schools will battle in the Huling Bowl Oct. 21
Wed, 10/19/2011
Join both schools, past alumni and the entire West Seattle community in this annual contest between area rivals. Festivities include a free pre-game barbeque provided by long-time supporters and named sponsors, Steve and Tom Huling.
School Principals Ruth Medsker of West Seattle and Chris Kinsey of Chief Sealth have upped the ante and backed their school, by placing a friendly wager on the game. They’ve agreed that the winning team’s leader will get to be “principal for a day” at the other school.
The student leadership of each school is getting into the act as well, asking the fans representing each school to participate in a canned food drive during the week and at the entrance into West Seattle Stadium. All of the donated goods will go directly to the West Seattle Food Bank, with the winning school’s community being recognized during the game.
The game is also in the running for Kiro7's High School "Game of the Week" with voting raking place online at http://www.kirotv.com/hsfootball/index.html.
Half-time entertainment includes an exciting joint performances from the two bands as well a light-hearted competition between the two schools’ staff. The game also marks West Seattle’s “Senior Night”, and recognition will be paid to the senior football players from that program in what will be their last home game of their careers.
