The Sehome football team won their first 2A NWC league game in over three years Friday. The Mariners jumped in front early and the defense dominated the Blaine Borderites in a 25-to-3 win at Civic Stadium. 

​

Sehome got out to a 13-0 lead in the first half on a 1 yard Dylan Roberts TD run and a 4 yard TD toss from Jacob Kaepernick to Jay Travier. After giving up a field goal just before halftime, the Mariners' defense bottled up Blaine in the second half to post their first victory in a league counter since a 16-to-3 win over Anacortes back on September 19th, 2015.

"I couldn't be prouder of the kids...to come in and get our first league win in quite a while, it feels good," said Sehome head coach Kevin Beason. "We put our defense in a hole a number of times due to our failure to execute and our turnovers and they just bowed their neck and just keept us in the game the whole time."
