For the second consecutive season, the Seward football team took an undefeated Denali Conference Championship.
Of the eight games played in the season, the first four were non-conference, and the Seahawks traveled across Alaska, namely to Nikiski, Valdez, and Fairbanks, where they won 54-6, 64-8, and 86-14, respectively.
The subsequent game was scheduled to be played against the Redington Huskies in Wasilla. It had been decided that, as Seward plays in a 9-man league, compared to the 11-man DIII conference where Redington competes, that all Seward offense would be played with nine on both sides of the ball, allowing the Huskies to resume 11-man once on offense.
Apparently, Redington did not review this stipulation, as only a week beforehand, the game was called off, out of unwillingness to run a 9-man defense. With no game scheduled for the week, Seward head coach Tyler Mallory and athletic director Ronn Hemstock soon found a replacement: the Kodiak Bears, who were one of only two teams in the state with a concurrent gap in schedule.
The Seahawks soon found themselves on a plane to Kodiak island, where they mopped up 74-0, the biggest difference in scoring of the season.
One week later began the conference games, alongside a bigger event: the opening of Seward High School’s brand new astroturf field. The event was attended by many, and included a ribbon-cutting ceremony with speakers such as borough mayor Peter Micciche and KPBSD superintendent Clayton Holland. In this maiden game, the Seahawks beat the Nikiski Bulldogs 36-14.
With Seward fueled by the fire of victory, the Valdez Buccaneers and Monroe Catholic Rams did not stand a chance, each losing 46-26 and 48-12, respectively.
Leading in the conference standings, the Seahawks automatically qualified for state and therefore did not compete in the playoffs, taking a bye week instead. In the playoffs, Nikiski beat Monroe 54-14.
Finally, on October 11, at Justin Maile field in Soldotna, the Seahawks faced off against the Bulldogs for the second conference championship in a row. Seward quickly set a lead, and won their third game against Nikiski 36-6, finishing the season with an 8-0 record, and 15-0 when including games from the previous season.
In the off-season, the team loses seven seniors: Brett Gilmore, Noah Price, Jack Gardner, Ronan Bickling, Noah Bird, Hunter Forshee-Kurtz, and Martin Fink.
