RENTON, Wash. (AP) – Pete Carroll says it was an ”amazing experience” for the Seattle Seahawks to host the football team from Marysville-Pilchuck High less than a week after a shooting at the school left three students dead, including the shooter.
The high school team practiced at the Seahawks’ facility Tuesday. Carroll was there to meet the team, along with a number of players, including cornerback Richard Sherman, safety Earl Thomas and wide receiver Doug Baldwin.
Sherman said, ”They seemed like for a moment in time they forgot what happened.”
Marsyville-Pilchuck was scheduled to play Oak Harbor last Friday for a division title, but Oak Harbor forfeited the game to the Tomahawks. Marysville-Pilchuck is scheduled to play its first game since the shooting on Friday night.
