A late Lindbergh lead held up for a 21-14 win over West Seattle in the non-league season opener for both teams Friday.
The visiting Eagles overcame a 14-13 deficit in the action at the Southwest Athletic Complex.
DeMarco Sales scored on a 6-yard touchdown run with 3:10 to play and teammate Darrien Sawyer-Lamb hauled in a two-point conversion for the lead.

West Seattle then surged as far as the Lindbergh 28 before being stopped two yards short on a fourth down play.
The Wildcats jumped out to an 8-0 lead with 7:11 to go in the first quarter as Jonathan Cheth ran for a 2-yard TD right after teammate Joseph Kirk-Woodbury returned a fumble 60 yards.
Rico Saeteurn then ran left for a two-point conversion.
Lindbergh cut the lead to 8-7 with 2:40 left in the opening quarter.
Samuel Nehren threw a 10-yard touchdown to Sawyer-Lamb and Timothy Reitz booted the extra point.
James Duncan put the Eagles up 13-8 on a 43-yard TD interception return with 2:13 left in the second quarter but a run for two failed.

West Seattle took the lead back at 14-13 when A.J. Sailiai scored on a 5-yard run at 8:26 in the fourth quarter.
But the Wildcats also missed a two-point run and later the lead slipped away.
