Gridiron Chronicles - O’Dea vs. Garfield High School - 10/11/2024 at Memorial Field

In this docu-series, we follow the legacy that is Metro League Football. Nestled within the confines of Seattle, the Metro League is home to powerhouse Washington state high school football teams, including O'Dea, Eastside Catholic, and a new face on the horizon in the Roosevelt Rough Riders.

This BONUS Episode takes you close and in-depth with the O'Dea Fighting Irish. Coached by Monte Kohler, this program has a rich tradition of excellence that can not be compromised. Placing second in the state last year, there is a grit and grind about this team to get back to the forefront of the state championship; this time hoping to take it home.

QB1 is Hutton Leverett, and he has an array of weapons not only in wide receivers Guilo Banchero and Javaris Matthews, O'Dea also isn't shy to run the football. Behind the blocking of TE Zander Turner, RBs Uriah Stringfield, Peter Pauly, Peyton Egan always look to hit the hole and celebrate with their offensive line.

On the defensive side, you surely cannot forgot about the DBs in Sage Salopek, Davonn Abaga, Case Barker. The D-Line is nothing to be slept on either. Led behind David Schwerzel, Davian Sherlock, Rasaan Thomas; these boys are angry and ready to play football..

Friday October 11, 2024, at Memorial Field, gently hidden away next to the Space Needle, O'Dea took on Garfield High School, in a match that was no match for the Bulldogs. In a very early fashion, O'Dea went on to win 35-8 behind a punt return TD from Sage Salopek, a receiving TD from Guilio Banchero, rushing TDs from Luther Hill and Peyton Egan; this game was over at halftime... so I left.
