The Highline High Pirates varsity football team will play a home non-conference game against the Kennedy Catholic High School Lancers on Saturday, Sept. 9, 2023, with kick-off at 12 p.m.

This “Battle of Burien” intercity rivalry will be played at Highline Memorial Stadium.

Last year, the Lancers beat the Pirates 41-6 (NOTE: Kennedy is in the bigger, tougher 4A division, while Highline is 2A).

For 2022, both teams had 23-24 overall records, with Kennedy losing the state championship game to Lake Stevens in a 24-22 nail biter that went down to the wire.

According to initial pre-season rankings, the Lancers are 9th in the state, while the Pirates are at 82nd.
