RENTON — In a road rematch of the their Class 2A state regional round game last February, the Sequim Wolves put themselves in a position to pull off a road upset, heading to the fourth quarter tied 36-36 with KingCo Conference Lake Division’s Lindbergh.

The Eagles (6-1), however, played through their 6-foot-7 star James Huff IV in the final frame, and Huff had seven of his 22 points in the fourth quarter.

Last season, No. 9 Sequim edged No. 16 Lindbergh 44-36 in a loser-out, winner-to-state contest.

“I am proud of how hard we played,” coach Craig Brooks said. “We did not shoot well at all and were tied going into the fourth quarter. Solomon [Sheppard] played well on offense and defense. Zeke Schmadeke was excellent on defense. They both took charges.”

Sequim (1-1, 2-3) hosts North Mason tonight in a return to Olympic League action.
