For three quarters, it looked like Sequim’s Wolves were well on their way to earning two more games in the postseason.

And the Olympic Trojans, those familiar foes from the Olympic League, came alive.

The Trojans outscored Sequim 33-11 in the final period to stun Sequim 59-41 in the consolation semifinals of the West Central District tournament Feb. 19 in University Place.

Olympic wound up placing sixth in the tournament and, along with Sammamish, Washington, River Ridge, Fife and White River, will play in a regional bracket for berths to the class 2A state tournament.

The Wolves finish the 2014-2015 season with a 16-8 mark.

Sequim, seeking a return to the state tourney after a one-season absence, got 22 points from Alex Barry in his final game. His 3-pointer with 4:50 left on the clock had Sequim up 37-35.

But after that, it was all Trojans. Olympic star guard Makaleb McInnis, playing his second consecutive game with an illness, responded to Barry’s triple with one of his own, and Olympic never trailed after that, finishing the game on a 21-4 run.

Barry finished 7-of-20 from the field (including 3-of-9 from long range) and had 13 rebounds, four blocks and two steals.

Payton Glasser had seven points while Vance Willis chipped in with four points, three assists and four steals.

Olympic held Sequim to 13-for-43 from the field overall (30 percent) and forced 17 turnovers.

McInnis led Olympic with 21 points while Damarius Johnson added 19.

“Makeleb came alive when we needed it,” Olympic coach Devin Huff told the Kitsap Sun.

“I’d want my son to play for him,” Huff told the Sun. “He’d be a better man and a better player. He’s the class of this league. It’s always a dogfight when we play. They (Sequim’s Wolves) are always disciplined so you’ve got to be locked in.”

Olympic was the lone Olympic League team out of five to advance through districts.

Thursday’s elimination game was the final appearance in a Sequim uniform for seniors Barry, Willis, Austin Adams, Dustin Bates, Adrian Espinoza, Alex Rutherford and Josh McConnaughey, who missed the final game because of an injury.

Wolves rip Renton

Jackson Oliver scored 20 points, Barry had 18 and Willis added 17 as Sequim knocked off Renton on Feb. 17 night in a West Central District tournament consolation quarterfinal game.

Sequim came out hot by scoring the first seven points and grabbing a 21-8 lead with just five minutes elapsed. Leading the way was Willis, who scored 14 of his 17 points in the first quarter.

Renton trimmed the lead back to five after one quarter (25-20) and just two at intermission (32-30), but then Barry began to take over, hitting for 11 of his 18 points in the second half.

Sequim jumped to a 59-46 lead on a Willis 3-pointer — his only basket of the second half — and Renton was forced to foul to try to stay in the game.

Barry finished with 14 rebounds to become the school’s all-time rebound leader with 621, passing former teammate Gabe Carter (609).

Rutherford had six points, Bates had five and Glasser added four. Oliver was 8-for-12 shooting and Willis had six assists.
