SPORTS: Powerhouse Bremerton handles Port Angeles in boys soccer; other prep reports

PORT ANGELES — Olympic League boys soccer powerhouse Bremerton scored the final three goals to beat Port Angeles 3-1 on Tuesday at Civic Field.

The Knights (2-0, 7-1) are tied with Olympic for first place in league while the Roughriders (0-2, 4-3-3) are still looking for their first conference win.

The Riders are 0-1 in division play, which helps determine playoff teams.

Port Angeles scored first on a penalty kick by Hayden McCartney but the Knights answered back two minutes later and then went ahead for good before halftime in the 31st minute on a penalty kick of their own.

“Goalkeeper Jack Doryland had his best game of the year coming up with some huge saves in the net,” Port Angeles coach Chris Saari said.

McCartney and Anthony Brandon were named co-offensive players of the match by Saari while Doryland took defensive player honors and Tamrat Haskins was named transition player.

Bremerton won the JV match 3-0.

The Riders next play at North Mason today in Olympic League action. Varsity action starts at 6:45 p.m. There will be no JV game.

Sequim 2,

North Mason 1

SEQUIM — Senior forward Waylan Lam scored the game-winning goal with two minutes left to play in the Olympic League match Tuesday.

Lam had an assist from Kendall Perlwitz as he beat the North Mason goalkeeper who was coming out of the net.

Senior forward Mitch McHugh scored the first goal of the game at the 18th minute on an assist by Mason Barrett.

North Mason’s Colin Ralston, the top scorer in the Olympic League, tied the game with eight minutes to go.

“It was a decent game,” Sequim coach Dave Brasher said. “We played better.

“McHugh played real well up front for us.”

It was an even game with the Bulldogs outshooting the Wolves by only 12-11.

Goalkeeper Byron Boots had four saves for Sequim.

First league win

The Wolves are now 1-1 in league and 3-4-2 overall while the Bulldogs are 0-1 and 3-3-1.

Sequim had a bye Thursday and next will host Tyee of Sea-Tac in a nonleague game Saturday afternoon.

Montesano 4, Forks 1

MONTESANO — Montesano led 4-0 before Miguel Geovany made sure the Spartans would not be shut out with a late goal in the SWL-Evergreen Division game Tuesday.

Forks goalkeeper Josh Rice had 10 saves in the match.

The first two goals scored by Montesano were own goals as the shots bounced off Forks players and went into the net.

Olympic 7,

Port Townsend 2

PORT TOWNSEND — Olympic League co-leader Olympic Trojans (2-0) had an easy time with the youthful Redskins (0-2, 1-6-1) on Tuesday.

Baseball

Chimacum 13, Charles Wright 0

CHIMACUM — The Cowboys, 4-0 in league coming in, was supposed to get some competition from fellow Sea-Tac team Charles Wright, which came in at 2-0 in league.

It didn’t work out that way as it took only five innings for the Cowboys to dispose of Charles Wright.

It didn’t hurt that pitching ace and three-time Nisqually League MVP Landon Cray was on the mound.

Cray (4-0) threw a complete-game, five-inning one-hitter for the shutout, striking out 12 and walking none.

The Class 1A defending state champion Cowboys are now 5-0 in league and 7-0 overall and are looking forward to some real competition Friday against tough 2A Sequim in Chimacum.

The nonleague game should show where the two teams are at right now as the Cowboys head to the playoffs and a defense of their title and the Wolves (5-2, 6-4) head to a high finish in the Olympic League and the 2A playoffs.

Chimacum tuned up for Sequim with 13 hits and no errors against Charles Wright.

Offensively, Mike Nordberg and Quinn Eldridge both went 3 for 3 each at bat with Eldridge knocking in five runs while scoring a run himself.

Nordberg scored three runs and had an RBI.

Carter Tjemulund, meanwhile, went 2 for 3 with an RBI while Egan Cornachione was 2 for 2 with two runs and an RBI.
