GOLF ROUNDUP: North Peninsula high school teams all win

SEQUIM — The Sequim High School golf team improved its record to 2-0 today, defeating the Bremerton High School Bremerton by 46 strokes.

Playing in frigid temperatures at Cedars at Dungeness, the Wolves bettered their season-opening team score by 23 strokes, shooting a 163 to Bremerton’s 209.

Dominic Riccobene led the Wolves with a 37. Pryce Glasser started with a 5-over-par 10 on the first hole, but went 1-under the rest of the way to finish with a solid 40.

All week in practice, Coach [Greg] Glasser and [I] have been talking about being mentally strong. Pryce did that today and more,” said coach Sean O’Mera.

Ben Sweet didn’t have his best game, but still carded a solid 41.

“He was able to diagnose some missteps. Big things are coming from him. Soon,” O’Mera said.

Cole Smithson played solid with a 45 and Zack Thomspon 53, shaving seven strokes off his score from a week ago.

”He is improving rapidly, and he is only scratching the surface on his talent level,” O’Mera said.

Sage Younger added a 66 for the Wolves.

Bremerton was led by Gavin Ranquilil with a 47.

The Wolves next play at Port Ludlow Golf Course against North Kitsap on Thursday.
