It’s rivalry week in high school football as the unbeaten Sequim Wolves (3-0) travel Friday night to face 1-2 Port Angeles. The Wolves tuned up last week with a 49-30 win over Elma, a game more lopsided than the final score suggested. Sequim jumped out to a 21-0 lead and rotated in junior varsity players in the second half.
Sophomore quarterback Kaiden Miller was perfect through the air, completing all seven of his passes for 148 yards and three touchdowns. Senior running back Liam Wiker, battling a lower-leg injury, ran for 88 yards and two scores. Zeke Schmadeke added a 12-yard TD run, tight end Andrew Keeler caught a 30-yard scoring pass, and Malachi Hampton chipped in with a two-yard TD and a 60-yard punt return. Sophomore kicker Freddy Wilhelm, who hit a game-winner against Mariner earlier this season, was a perfect 7-for-7 on extra points.
