Wolves start perfect

Sequim’s boys squad looks tough early on after topping Klahowya, Kingston and Port Townsend/Chimacum in successive fashion last week.

Gunstone and  Puntenney didn’t drop a game in their singles victories while  Lee and  Maloney did the same in No. 1 doubles play as Sequim dropped Klahowya 7-0 on Sept. 14.

Sequim got by Kingston 6-0 two days later, getting singles wins from Puntenney,  Lee and  Richards.

Gunstone and Maloney captured a 6-0, 6-0 win against the Bucs’ Eric Reichert and Brady Sundquist in No. 1 doubles play while Byron Boots and Waylon Lam won in straight sets. One doubles match was not completed because of rain.

On Sept. 18, the Wolves dropped one doubles match — its first individual loss of the season — but still routed the combined Chimacum-Port Townsend team 6-1.

Gunstone, Maloney and Lee each earned singles wins while Puntenney and Richards stopped Ian Norris and Perry Pearsall, 6-2 and 6-3.
