DISTRICT BASKETBALL: Sequim girls stay alive with big win over Olympic

Published 1:30 am Saturday, February 14, 2026

SEQUIM — Sequim shook off a slow start, navigated early foul trouble for do-it-all point guard Gracie Chartraw and received a strong performance from Kaiya Robinson in eliminating Olympic League foe Olympic 54-29 in a Class 2A West Central District Tournament girls basketball contest Saturday.

With the win, the No. 5-seeded Wolves (13-6) advance to the double-elimination portion of the tournament and will face No. 4-seed Steilacoom at Steilacoom at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Saturday afternoon the Wolves were less than aggressive to open the contest, settling for long 3-point jump shots rather than attacking the rack on offense, while letting the Trojans pick up foul calls and get to the free throw line on the defensive end to lead 9-8 after the first quarter.

Sequim took control with essentially a quarter-long run in the second quarter going on a 14-0 run to start the quarter, only allowing one field goal with 2:26 to go before halftime to make it 23-11 at the break.

Kaiya Robinson had eight of her 14 points in the first half, knocking down two 3-point shots for the Wolves.

“Kaiya had a really good game on the offensive side and defensively she had 14 points and 2 steals she has been very consistent the few games,” coach Joclin Julmist said.

Chartraw scored 12 of her game-high 21 points in the first half, despite picking up her second foul with under 4 minutes in the first half.

“Gracie led us in scoring with 21 points and seven steals,” Julmist said.

Jordyn Julmist had a solid stretch in the second quarter with Chartraw taking a seat for a couple of in-game minutes and finished with a double-double with 10 points, 11 rebounds and three steals.

“She also guarded Olympic’s best player the whole game in a box-and-one,” Joclin Julmist said.

Charlie Nolan added eight points off the bench.

“Charlie came of the bench ready to play scoring 8 points in limited time and grabbing four rebounds,” Julmist said. “She has a gift for putting the ball in the basket. “

Julmist said senior post Hailey Wagner was hobbled but played hard.

“Hailey gave us all she had she’s been nursing an ankle injury all season,” Julmist said. “She had 9 rebounds and played great defense.”

In other girls playoff games this weekend, Cascade Christian eliminated East Jefferson in the District 3 1A tournament 43-30. In girls 1B Tri-District play-in games, Concrete eliminated Crescent 61-29 and Lopez Island eliminated Quilcene 39-29.
