Hazen fell to Kennedy 3-0 Tuesday night, setting up a three-way tie for the Seamount lead with no tiebreakers in place.

The Highlanders (10-4-1 overall, 5-1 Seamount) play Tyee Thursday night in the regular season finale. Kennedy (11-4-1, 5-1) plays Renton Thursday night. Lindbergh (11-4, 5-1) plays Highline Thursday night.

If all three win, the Seamount will have three co-champions.

"I imagine if that happens things will change next year," said Lindbergh coach James Valles. "But I'm not going to complain, the rules are the rules."

Of the Thursday games, Lindbergh faces the tough est challenge. The Eagles lost to Highline 4-2 Oct. 2.

The logjam atop the league came because the three top teams all traded losses in counting league play. The only counting league games were the final time the teams played. In counting games, Lindbergh beat Kennedy, Kennedy beat Hazen, and Hazen beat Lindbergh.
