Seattle Prep bounced back from a narrow loss to Rainier Beach with a dominant 42-6 win over Lincoln in rainy Metro League action. Leo Harnetiaux threw and ran for touchdowns, Dylan Gilbert returned the second-half kickoff 80 yards, and the Panthers' defense repeatedly stifled Lincoln's persistent offensive drives despite the Lynx's continued fight.
