PREP BASKETBALL: Sequim’s Barry, Chimacum’s Weller earn league MVPs; other all-league honors

Sequim senior Alex Barry has been voted Olympic League 2A MVP by the league’s boys basketball coaches.

Barry averaged 20.3 points per game, 12.5 rebounds, 3.7 steals, 3.3 assists, 2.5 blocks, leading the Wolves in all five categories.

His 238 rebounds are the second-highest regular season total in school history, and his 171 defensive rebounds are the most ever.

The 18 boards he grabbed against Bremerton tie a school record, and his 71 regular-season steals break the previous school-best mark.

Barry finishes his career as the top rebounder in school history with 617, passing former teammate Gabe Carter.

Barry also scored the third-most career points in Sequim history with 1,130.

Sequim’s Greg Glasser was named co-Coach of the Year along with Olympic’s Devin Huff.

Glasser led the Wolves (9-3, 16-8) to a third-place finish in the Olympic League 2A Division.

No other area players were voted to the first team, and due to the league’s split into 2A and 1A divisions, there were no honorable mention.

Weller is 1A MVP

The 1A division, with only four teams, only had an all-league first team.

Chimacum senior Orion Weller was voted Olympic League 1A boys MVP and coach Jim Eldridge was picked as coach of the year, after leading the Cowboys to the league title.

Weller’s teammates John Carthum and Brendan Naylor, both seniors, were voted to the first team.

Senior Chris Adkins was the only Port Townsend individual player to receive an all-league honor.

The Redhawks, however, did earn the team sportsmanship award.

Olympic League girls

Kingston’s Drew Clark and North Kitsap’s Rebekah Baugh share the girls Olympic League 2A MVP award.

No area players were voted to the first team, but Sequim has three players on the second team and Port Angeles has two.

Seniors Caitlin Stofferahn and Victoria Cummins and sophomore Adrienne Haggerty are the Wolves’ honorees.

Sophomore Katyn Flores and junior Maddie Boe both made the second team for Port Angeles.

Coupeville junior Makana Stone is the Olympic League 1A girls MVP after leading the Wolves to the league title.

Senior Kiersten Snyder and sophomore Mechelle Nisbet are on the first team, as is Port Townsend freshman Kaitlyn Meek.

Evergreen League

For the second year in a row, Forks guard Colton Raben fell a few votes short of earning the Evergreen League MVP.

Adam Follett of Aberdeen edged Raben.

“All of the coaches had huge praises for him at the meeting, but not having a great winning record makes it tough to get voted MVP,” Spartans coach Rick Gooding said.

“I still believed, and a lot of other coaches did as well, that he was the most valuable player in the league.

“He just did so much for our young team.”

Raben, a senior, was the only Forks player receiving first- or second-team recognition, but sophomore teammates Parker Browning and Marky Adams each earned honorable mention.

For the Evergreen girls, Forks sophomore Skyler DeMatties earned honorable mention.

Sophomore Jordan Spradlin and senior Megan Choate, both of Montesano, shared the Evergreen girls MVP.
