Tuesday night, Chief Sealth welcomed Roosevelt High School to West Seattle for a boys wrestling showdown. The niceties however were not returned as the Rough Riders rode away with a 61-6 drubbing of their hosts.
The Seahawks lone win was a Gonzalo Cruz victory due to forfeit in the 113 lb weight class.

Despite the final score, Sealth put up a fight with four of its grapplers holding off Roosevelt into the third round including; Oliver Jackson at 160lbs, Antonio Chiles at 170lbs, Daron Camacho at 190lbs and Frank Brown at 220lbs.

Likewise, the Rough Riders came away with three pins on the night including; 182 lb Matt Dickenson over Morigon Blacklongue in the first round, 285 lb Nathan Forst over Ismail Chavez in the first, and Spear Kajumvlo over Brown in the final round.

It was a difficult outing for the home team, who not only faced a difficult metro league opponent, but found itself digging out of a hole throughout the match as the Seahawks were forced to take six forfeits, accepting losses in five of those matches, with the sixth being a double forfeit at 106 lbs.
