Prep sports roundup – March 26, 2025

Spring sports are in full swing across many fields and courts. Here are results from the past week:

Boys Soccer

The Sequim boys soccer team overcame torrential rainfall and a physical North Mason team to prevail 3-0, improving to 2-1 on the season.

“North Mason came out physical as we expected,” said coach Dave Breckenridge. “Our boys kept their cool and weathered the storm — pardon the pun. The weather was very rough the majority of the first half. The ball was moving fast and touches were off on both sides because of it.”

Breckenridge said that with Sequim having the only grass pitch in the league, the Wolves have a slight advantage in home matches in poor weather such as Friday night’s downpour.

“The ball bounces different and tends to sit more than on traditional turf pitches,” he said.

The Wolves got their first goal on a cross from Josh Alcaraz to Nico Musso.

“The goal didn’t seem to faze the North Mason players. They just continued to put the pressure on. It was like a swarm of bees. As soon as one of our players had the ball, they had two players minimum on them applying pressure,” Breckenridge said.

Breckenridge said the team talked about controlling tempo more and working to get more than a one-goal lead. The Wolves responded with a goal early in the second half by Josh Alcaraz.

The game grew more physical after Alcaraz’s goal, but Breckenridge said the Sequim players kept their cool and were able to get an insurance goal with 15 minutes left in the goal on a solo effort by Finn Braaten on a shot to the upper left corner of the net.

Earlier in the week, Sequim won 5-1 at home over Kingston, highlighted by Musso’s hat trick.

Musso was in the right spot to send in all three of his goals.

“(Musso) put in a hat trick, he continued to chase and follow,” Breckenridge said. “Evan Cisneros was able to put one in the net and he needed that. His heart is so into the game. He took like eight or nine shots against Bremerton and was so close, so it was nice to see him get one on one or two shots.”

Returning first-team All-Olympic Leaguer Alcaraz added the last goal for Sequim.

“He’s our energizer bunny,” Breckenridge said. “He comes back and supports a lot of the midfield and he was able to put one in the net.”

Sequim (2-1, 2-1) was set to travel to Bainbridge on Tuesday and host Olympic on Friday, March 28.

Golf

The Sequim girls golf team beat the Vikings in home-and-home matches at Port Ludlow Golf Course and The Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course.

The Wolves topped North Kitsap 209-239 on March 20 at Cedars. Raimey Brewer led Sequim with a 50, Kendra Dodson and Sara German had rounds of 51 and Gabriella Hood a 57.

Earlier in the week at Port Ludlow, German led the Wolves with a 53, Dodson had a 54, Brewer and Hood totaled 58. Corden was medalist with a 45.

For the boys, Sequim junior Adrian Aragon notched his second match medalist honor in a row, but Sequim was edged out in a road match at Port Ludlow Golf Club on March 18. Aragon shot a 5-over-par 41 to lead all players. Cody Dunscomb added a round of 49, while Joey Kang and Florentio Martinez each posted 51 for Sequim.

On Thursday, the Vikings won again, but Aragorn shot a 40, just one shot off the top golfer of the day, North Kitsap’s Matix Thorne. The Wolves’ Cody Dunscomb shot a solid 47 and Levi Breithaupt a 49, but North Kitsap had four golfers who shot 44 or lower.

Both teams host Bremerton on Thursday, March 27 before spring break. They’ll host Port Angeles April 10.

Baseball

Sequim’s varsity baseball team went 1-2 in its first week of action.

In a 6-0 home win on March 19, Sequim pitchers Zeke Schmadeke and Devyn Dearinger combined on a one-hit shutout over Kingston. Schmadeke struck out eight Buccaneers and walked three in his four innings on the hill. Dearinger came on in relief and gave up a hit and a walk but struck out two and kept Kingston off the scoreboard.

Lincoln Bear’s two-run double highlighted the Wolves’ five-run fourth inning. Ethan Staples added an RBI single and Connor Oase came through with a two-run single as Sequim seized control. Schmadeke also went 2-for-4 at the plate and scored a run, while Dearinger stole a base and scored.

A day prior in Kingston, the teams battled in a scoreless game until the sixth inning when the Buccaneers plated three runs in the bottom of the sixth to pull out a 3-2 season-opening victory.

Ethan Staples started for the Wolves and pitched great, going four scoreless innings, allowing five hits and no walks. He struck out seven. Bryant Laboy pitched 1⅓ innings, allowing just one hit, but two earned runs. He struck out two. Braydan White pitched the final two-thirds of an inning, allowing an unearned run on two hits. He struck out one.

The Wolves managed just three hits. White had a single in the sixth and Lincoln Bear was hit by a pitch. Devyn Dearinger singled to drive in White, and Bear was able to come around to score on an error as the Wolves took a 2-0 lead.

But they weren’t able to hold it. Kingston scored three in the bottom of the sixth on a walk, stolen base, two singles and an error. The Wolves were three up, three down in the top of the seventh.

To end the week on Saturday, Sequim managed six hits in a 13-1 loss to Nathan Hale.

Schmadeke went 2-for-4, while Laboy had a hit and an RBI. Clay Abrams had a hit and a run scored.

Sequim (1-1, 1-2) was set to play Tuesday at North Mason, and host them the next day. During spring break, they travel to Lakewood on April 5.
