The Seattle Eighth Grade team, which has players from Kent and Covington, made it to the Football University national championship game Saturday but lost 31-0 to GFL Georgia. In the semifinals, Seattle held off St. Louis, 6-3, last Friday. St. Louis’ 47-yard game-tying field goal fell just short in the final minute.

Jacob Sirmon’s 14-yard pass to wide receiver Micah Smith with 2:45 mark left in the first quarter proved to be the game’s only touchdown.
