PREP FOOTBALL UPDATE — Sequim stuffed by North Kitsap 33-13; Port Angeles wins exciting game; other area reports [updated]

POULSBO — Freshman Gavin Velarde scored two kick-return touchdowns to account for Sequim’s scoring in a 33-13 defeat at the hands of the eighth-ranked North Kitsap Vikings on Friday night.

Velarde slipped fielding the ball on the soaked turf surface but recovered to take the opening kick back 96 yards for an early 6-0 lead.

North Kitsap answered back with three first-half rushing touchdowns for a 20-6 lead at the break.

The Vikings’ ferocious defense neutralized the Wolves on both sides of the ball all night long.

Sequim tallied just 11 yards rushing on 22 carries in the first half and just 47 yards of total offense at halftime.

North Kitsap tacked on two second-half scores and Velarde returned a kick 92 yards for the last Wolves points with 1:23 to play.

Sequim’s leading rusher Ty Jones tallied 10 carries for just 11 yards. Chris Whitaker had two carries for 8 yards and North Kitsap limited Wolves quarterback Miguel Moroles to 15 rushes for 4 yards. He also was 6 of 8 for 48 yards and an interception.

Kyle North had 15 carries for 135 yards for the Vikings to lead all rushers.

Port Angeles 38, Bremerton 34

BREMERTON — Port Angeles scored last to win a back-and-forth Olympic League shootout on the road when Sam Burton tackled Calvin Cardwell inside the 5-yard line as time expired.

The score was 21-18 in Bremerton’s favor heading into the fourth quarter. The teams traded scores from there until the Roughriders scored on a 6-yard pass from Ryan Rodocker to Caleb West with just over a minute remaining to take a 38-34 lead that held up when the clock ran out of time.

Clallam Bay 62, Muckleshoot 20

AUBURN — The Bruins led 14-6 after one quarter, but coach Cal Ritter said he wanted them to play much better in the second quarter.

Clallam Bay obeyed, racking up 40 points in the quarter to pull away and put the running clock in effect before intermission.

The defense was particularly offensive in the second quarter, scoring on a interception return, a fumble recovery and a safety.

Neah Bay 58, Lyle-Wishram 6

LYLE — The top-ranked Red Devils jumped out to a 28-0 lead in the first quarter and cruised from there.

Freshman quarterback Rwehabura Munyagi Jr. threw five touchdown passes for Neah Bay.

Coupeville 29, Port Townsend 21

COUPEVILLE — The Redhawks suffered through a rough first half that proved to be too much to overcome.

The Wolves built a 29-14 halftime lead and then kept Port Townsend off the scoreboard until the final minutes of the game.

The win puts Coupeville at the top of the Olympic League’s 1A Division.

Klahowya 36, Chimacum 26

PORT TOWNSEND — The Cowboys had an offensive flurry at the end of the game for their highest scoring output of the season.

The Eagles controlled the ball in the first half. Chimacum reversed the trend in the second half, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Klahowya’s 21-6 halftime advantage.
