SPORTS: Port Townsend shades Sequim in wrestling; other prep reports

PORT TOWNSEND — Port Townsend rode four pins to nudge Sequim in an Olympic League wrestling match Thursday night.

The Redskins held off the youthful Wolves 42-32.

Sequim had three pins of its own and a technical fall but a forfeit at 215 pounds was the difference in the dual meet, Sequim coach Len Borchers said.

“The meet went back and forth,” Borchers said.

Sequim’s 215-pounder was ill, and the six forfeit points swung the meet to the Redskins.

Earning crucial pins for Port Townsend were Ryan Unbedacht at 135 pounds, Mel Horton at 145, Brett Johnson at 160 and Jake Shaw at 189.

Others winning matches for the Redskins were Justin Mead at 112, Ryan Hubbard at 130 and Mitch Thurman at 215 with the forfeit.

Taking falls for Sequim were Mustang Riggins at 140, Dakota Hinton at 152 and Joe Pizzuto at 171.

Derek Fruin won by technical fall at 119 by a score of 17-2.

Austin Middleton won 4-1 at 125 pounds and Brian Bearden won by injury default for the Wolves.

“We’ll be seeing Port Townsend again [today and Saturday at Sequim’s own] Rainshadow Tournament,” Borchers said.

SEQUIM — The Wolves pulled out a nail-biter Thursday night thanks in large part to Clancy Catelli’s two final-minute 3-pointers.

Catelli’s second 3 came with just 3.8 seconds left in the game to seal the win for Sequim (4-2 in league, 4-4 overall). He finished the night with 10 points.

John Textor led all scorers with 18 points while Corbin Webb sank 10 on the night.

“A couple of turnovers nearly cost us, but Catelli came up huge for us,” Sequim coach Greg Glasser said.
