Chief Sealth was not without its highlights Friday, even in a 60-20 loss to Washington in its football season opener at the Southwest Athletic Complex.
Senior Chase McNelly provided the brightest, scoring all three touchdowns for the Seahawks.

McNelly rumbled down the left sideline on a kickoff return for the first, cutting the Patriots' lead to 35-6 with 3:37 left in the second quarter.

McNelly struck again at the 2:22 mark, this time catching a 59-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Kyler Gaither.

Gaither booted the extra point to make it a 41-13 game.

Washington led, 44-13, at halftime and took a 60-13 advantage before Chief Sealth could score the game's final touchdown with about 2:25 left on a running fourth quarter clock.

McNelly snagged a 10-yard pass from Gaither for the touchdown. Gaither's kick brought the score to its final 60-20 margin.
