Heading into the pandemic-delayed 2020 football season, nobody gave Seattle Preparatory School a shot at beating O Dea in the third game of the season. Even fewer believed that Seattle Prep stood a chance against Eastside Catholic s star-studded roster the following week.
Both in one season?
Snowball meet hell.
Seattle Prep shocked O Dea on a two-point conversion on the last play of the game to win 15-14. A week later, Prep backed up that victory with another one over Eastside Catholic 20-7.
In the middle of it all was a hard-hitting 6-foot-3, 225-pound junior linebacker and tight end named Austin Harnetiaux.

Former council president Bruce Harrell announces run for Seattle mayor KIRO 7 News Staff, Essex Porter
Former City Council member Bruce Harrell announced his bid today with some unusual approaches to some of the city’s most difficult problems.
Harrell was interim mayor for a few days in 2017 when Ed Murray resigned.
Now he says he wants to lead a Seattle revival.
“Look at what Seattle has become,” he said at his news conference.
Harrell spent 12 years on the City Council before declining to run for reelection in 2019.
Now he sees a city whose economy has been battered by the pandemic and struggling in the face of a reckoning for racial justice a process too often punctuated by violence.
