District: Wolves, Riders are in games today CONTINUED FROM B1 In the girls 2A West Central District tournament, meanwhile, Port Angeles fell to fourth-ranked White River 50-34 on Saturday afternoon. The Roughriders (16-5) will now play fellow Olympic League team Olympic (17-6) for the district’s third seed to regionals today at Foss High School in Tacoma at 4 p.m. The Riders have beaten the Trojans twice this year but managed to win by just three points the second time around. “Olympic has improved during the year,� Port Angeles coach Michael Poindexter said. If Port Angeles beats the Trojans, it will play Cedarcrest (20-2) in its regional game on Saturday. A loss to Olympic means the Riders would get a rematch with seventhranked Burlington-Edison (18-3). The Tigers beat Port Angeles 69-42 in late December. In either scenario, the Riders will be playing at Lynden High School this coming Saturday in do-ordie games to state. Cedarcrest and Burlington-Edison are tied for seventh in final rankings put out by The Associated Press. Any way you look at it, the Riders will have a Mission Impossible type of assignment in Saturday’s regional game. Poindexter would prefer to beat Olympic today and avoid playing powerhouse Burling-Edison for a second time. “They are one of the elite teams in the state,� Poindexter said. “I think our [lack of] size is a little disadvantage against some of the bigger, more physical teams in state.
“We are capable of winning at regionals but it will take a very, very good game.� But first is the rematch today with the Trojans and likely Olympic League player of the year Ashli Payne.
Boys Basketball Sequim 55, Sumner 48 TACOMA — The two allstar seniors came through in one of the most important games of the season. Jayson Brocklesby netted 21 points and grabbed nine rebounds while Gabe Carter swished in 16 and brought down seven rebounds, dished out seven assists and had two steals in the West Central District semifinal victory. The Wolves led just 12-10 after the first quarter but a 17-10 second period gave them a little more breathing room at 29-20 at halftime. They increased the lead to 43-33 going into the final stanza, and then held on for the win. Brocklesby made 10 of 17 shots from the field, including 9 of 13 from 2-point range, while Carter was 3 of 4 from the floor and he connected on 9 of 12 free throws. Alex Barry added eight points and four rebounds while Anthony Pinza scored six and had three assists. The Wolves were 19 of 33 in field goals, including 16 of 24 close in.

Girls Basketball White River 50, Port Angeles 34 TACOMA — White River’s Amanda Lance was too much for the Roughriders as she ripped the nets for 27 points in the 2A West Central District semifinal game. Lance is a sophomore guard. “I think Lance is the best shooter in district,� Port Angeles coach Michael Poindexter said. “She scored both inside and out. Eight of her points came on 8 of 9 free-throw shooting. “She hurt us with her outside shooting last year in the district championship game. She did even more damage this year.� Overall, White River did everything well. “White River played an excellent all-around game, much of it without their best post player, Kennedy Hobert, who was injured midway through the first half.� White River also came into the game a guard low. But that didn’t slow the team down. “They are a very deep team,� Poindexter said. The smaller Riders got pushed around a bit in the game. “It was a very physical game,� Poindexter said. “There was lots and lots of contact. We got beaten up pretty badly.� All Port Angeles players were held to single-digit scoring as Shayla Northern led the way with eight points. Mariah Frazier and Macy Walker added seven each, and Maddy Hinrichs added six. Frazier also had nine rebounds and four steals. “She had great energy on the court all game long,�

State: Port Angeles swimmers perform well CONTINUED FROM B1 The Riders captured eighth place with 57 points. Othello won state with 133.5 while tournament favorite Deer Park was runner-up with 111 and Orting took third with 96.5. Despite not finishing as high as they wanted to, there were a lot of positives about this season, Port Angeles coach Erik Gonzalez said. “Though we fell short of our goal of bringing home a trophy at Mat Classic XXV, we set more records in a season full of records as we finished in the top 10 in the state for the first time in our history,� he said. “We finished in eighth place on the strength of a record five medalists, the previous record number of state medalists in one year was three set just last year.
“Tyler Gale became the first ever freshman to medal at state and Kyle LaFritz became the first JV wrestler to medal at state for the Riders. “LaFritz and Roberto Coronel became just the third and fourth sophomores to medal at state for the Riders as they joined Ozzy Swagerty in that elite group. “Swagerty and Brian Cristion became just the fifth and sixth multiple medalists at state in team history. “In all, nine of the 10 Riders won at least one match at state and scored valuable team points with their wins.� The future looks bright for the Riders. “With six of our 10 state participants returning, we look forward to next season,� Gonzalez said. “In the mean time, they
