A flock of Sea Hawks descends on a Lakewood runner.
The team’s defensive coordinator relishes the moment. “I told ’em not to run on us. I told ’em!!”
Not even the Coupeville Connection could save them.
Multiple turnovers in the red zone killed the Anacortes Midget Sea Hawks football squad as it suffered its first loss in four games this season.
Even with Matthew Kelley breaking off a 45-yard scoring jaunt down the left sideline, the Sea Hawks fell 18-6 to Lakewood to drop their record to 3-1 on the season. Anacortes, which features Kelley and Coupeville Elementary classmates Sage Downes and Jake Mitten, has four games remaining.
The game was tied at 6-6 late into the fourth quarter, when Lakewood finally capitalized on the frequent Anacortes turnovers to blow open a close game. The final touchdown came with less than two minutes to play.
Anacortes next hosts Stanwood Black Saturday, Sept. 28.
