SEQUIM — It is no secret the Sequim Wolves girls basketball team is in a major rebuild after three strong seasons.
The rebuilding process was evident last night as the Anacortes Seahawks dominated the Wolves, 48-30.
Like the Neah Bay Red Devils program, Anacortes Head Coach Nate Dunham dedicates extensive time to scouting opponents in the film room. It showed last night as the Seahawks employed a stifling, in-your-face man-to-man defense that disrupted the Wolves’ offensive sets.
Wolves guards Gracie Chartraw and Bobbie Mixon were forced into taking long-distance, low-percentage shots. The Seahawks outscored the Wolves 19-6 in the second quarter, taking a commanding 31-14 halftime lead.
Bobbie Mixon led the Wolves with 11 points, while Gracie Chartraw added 10. Libby Turrella scored five points, freshman Kaiya Robinson hit a three-pointer, and Hailey Wagner added a free throw.
The Wolves will open league play at home against Kingston on Friday night. Anacortes defeated Kingston 61-24 last week.
Meanwhile, the Port Angeles Roughriders will host a home doubleheader against North Mason on Friday. The girls tip off at 5:15 p.m., with the boys’ game to follow at 7 p.m.
