The Lindbergh Eagles ruined Renton’s homecoming Friday night and earned a top seed in the 2A district playoffs in the process, with a 21-0 win over the Indians at Renton Memorial Stadium.
Penalties hurt Renton all day, costing them yardage on both sides of the ball and even taking them out of field goal range during one series in the third quarter.
The win means Lindbergh earns the top seed in the Seamount 2A division as the teams head to the postseason. Because of a Foster win as well on Friday, Renton will be the No. 3 seed as the Bulldogs take the No. 2 spot.
Because of its seeding, Renton has a short week with a game scheduled for 7 p.m. Tomorrow, Tuesday, against Sammamish.
The winner will move on to take on North Kitsap this weekend. The loser’s season will come to an end.
Lindbergh will host Orting, who finished 4-5 overall in the South Puget Sound League.
