High-school football: Another big win for West Seattle HS

(Photos by Nick Adams for WSB. Here, #5 Diandre Jackson fist-bumps #88 Brennan Newquist after a TD)
Another big-scoring game for the West Seattle High School Wildcats on Friday night, running the score to 51-0 before visiting Cleveland managed one TD to make the final score 51-6. From WSHS band members’ pre-game rendition of the national anthem …

… to the late-game action …

… WSHS never looked back. Ahead, 11 more photos by Nick Adams for WSB, and game toplines:

West Seattle’s freshman quarterback Jamie Maples came out throwing (above, he’s #10 with the ball, under pressure from Cleveland’s Daniel Matapula). Near the start of the game, he threw to preferred target Jimmi Martin, who took it 60 yards down the field to score. (Martin, #6, is in the next photo tackling Donnie Webber behind the line of scrimmage:)

Cleveland’s sole touchdown came on a 52-yard pass play in the fourth quarter that saw senior Amonte Phillips score. He’s in the next photo:

For West Seattle, another standout night for Diandre Jackson:

And for Daniel Sullivan – #14 in the next photo (with teammate Sala Leiato, #75):

Other game scenes: A catch by West Seattle’s Joe Ylagan, who had the 2-point conversion on the Wildcats’ second TD:

WSHS team members cheer after a sack:

Side note: Youth cheerleaders were a halftime highlight:

Speaking of spirit, next week is West Seattle’s homecoming game, 7 pm Friday at Southwest Athletic Complex vs. Rainier Beach.

    Holy Cow! W.S.H.S. football has sure changed since the late 70’s, the multi year loss record holders of the state.
