SEQUIM — The Wolves held off a game Kingston effort Tuesday night, winning 45-41 in a nonleague game.
“It was a hard-fought win. The girls played hard Jolene [Vaara] led us in scoring and rebounds with 13 and 13,” said coach Joclin Julmist.
“Hannah Bates was really good at running the show once again and filled up the stats sheet,” Julmist said. Bates had five points to go along with seven steals and four assists. Jordan Kidd and Addie Smith each hit big 3-pointers for the Wolves, while Taryn Johnson and Hannah Wagner each scored eight.
Sequim has at least a share of the Olympic 2A League championship and is done with the regular season. The Wolves now sit back and wait to see what happens tonight at the Port Angeles-North Kitsap game in Poulsbo.
If Port Angeles wins that game, the Roughriders will win a share of the league title and the two Olympic Peninsula rivals will play a tiebreaker, likely on Saturday. If North Kitsap wins, the Wolves are undisputed league champs.

LONGVIEW — The Spartans struggled out of the gate against the No. 2-seed Loggers and trailed 38-16 at halftime in a Class 2B Southwest District IV quarterfinal at R.A. Long High School.
“We just left our game on the bus the whole first half and in the district playoffs against a team like that it’s going to be a challenge to win let alone a huge challenge to try and dig out of a huge hole,” Forks coach David Hurn said.
“We didn’t create enough, or anything in transition in the first half and they were able to flip the script on us. That’s what we wanted to do to them.”
The Spartans (10-8) will face a familiar foe in Pacific League opponent Ilwaco (7-13) in a loser-out district contest at 7:30 p.m. today at Rochester High School.
