Wolves cap best season at state
Published on Wed, Feb 10, 2010 by Sequim Gazette StaffRead More Sports
The alleys are quiet now, but Sequim bowlers can lay claim to one of their best seasons on record.
A trio of Wolves capped the 2009-2010 season at the state 2A/3A tournament in Tacoma on Feb. 6, with Samantha Whiteside leading the way. The senior finished 31st overall with a six-game series of 881 pins, with a 170 pins her top single-game finish.
Whiteside's was the best finish by a Sequim bowler at state in school history.
Teammate Kim Duce, a junior, was 37th overall with 860 pins and a team-best 176-pin, single-game score.
Senior Alex Whiteside was 52nd overall at state for the second consecutive season, finishing with a 631-pin series and 122-pin best game.
Mark Morris of Longview won the team 2A/3A title, edging Olympic - a familiar foe of Sequim's - by just 82 pins.
Klahowya, another
Sequim rival from the Olympic League, was seventh.
"They all had a good time, good attitudes toward everything," Sequim coach Randy Perry said of his Wolves.
Carys Bailey of Klahowya won the individual 2A/3A state title with 1,143 pins in six games, edging Katryn Comeau of Prairie by 47 pins.
The Wolves finished with a 6-9 season mark, while Duce set school records for individual game (221 pins) and series (359). The Wolves set school marks for team game (845), Baker-format game (186) and total match pins (1,774).
Perry said the Wolves will miss its soon-to-graduate seniors and, in particular, exchange student Lola Macia, who filled in for a missing starter and helped the team members bond.
"She just kind of came out of nowhere," Perry said. "We're going to miss her a lot."
With a slew of seniors headed to graduation, Perry and the Wolves look to Duce, fellow senior-to-be Sage Brown and others to bolster the 2010-2011 roll.
