Athletics

Everett High School is part of District One of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) as a member of the Wesco 3A conference. The school competes as the Seagulls, with its sports split between the conference's North and South divisions; the football team was formerly in the North division, but was moved to the South division when Wesco football realigned with the addition of the Ferndale Golden Eagles and the Squalicum Storm for the 2016 season.[4][5][6]

Due to the construction of Everett High School occurring in the city's early years, it does not have on-site facilities for baseball and football; both teams practice and play home games south of the school at Everett Memorial Stadium as a result. The baseball team temporarily practiced on the football field at the stadium complex for the 2017 season and most of the 2018 season due to poor conditions at the baseball park (now known as Funko Field) caused by heavy rain along with simultaneous use by teams from both the school and Everett Community College. The baseball park had its natural grass surface replaced with artificial turf, with the Seagulls hosting their first game on the new surface on April 12, 2018.[7][8]

The school has the claim of winning the unofficial national championship of high school football for the 1920 season. The football team, led by coach Enoch Bagshaw, achieved a perfect season that year;[note 1] it was capped off on January 1, 1921, with a 16–7 defeat of East Technical High School from Cleveland, Ohio, at Athletic Field in Everett, now the site of Bagshaw Field at North Middle School. After the season, Bagshaw left to coach for the Washington Huskies football team, leading them to their first Rose Bowl appearance in 1923.[9][10]

Notable alumni

Notes
  1. The school's official record is 9–0–1; the only game that did not end in a win was a tie in an exhibition game versus a squad composed of school alumni before the start of the season.
