SPORTS: Port Angeles dominates Port Townsend in boys golf; other prep reports

PORT ANGELES — Every Port Angeles player outscored all of Port Townsend’s team in an Olympic League boys golf dual meet at Peninsula Golf Club on Tuesday.

Senior Joe Barnes was match medalist for the second match in a row with a 1-over 37 to spark the Roughriders to the 208-297 victory.

“I like our consistency right now,” Port Angeles coach Mark Mitrovich said.

“To have scores in the 40s — the mid- to low-40s — at this particular point in the season is very promising for us.”

All five varsity players shot 46 or less with Barnes shooting two birdies and five pars on the way to his 37, while senior Garrett Payton and sophomore Alex Atwell were three shots behind with nine-hole scores of 40 each.

Payton had one birdie and four pars while Atwell shot six pars.

Junior Trey Hoover shot 45 with three pars.

“I’m enjoying having Trey Hoover in his first year playing on the team,” Mitrovich said.

“He’s filling in nicely on the varsity team and making contributions. He has definitely contributed to our two wins, and he is a fine addition to our team.”

Junior Austin Underwood, meanwhile, was right behind with a 46, earning one par.

Jack Bishop led Port Townsend with a 52 while Grayson Pennell was next with 56 and Keegan Khile shot a 61.

Ben Rolland scored 63 for the Redskins while Harry Doyle shot 65.

The Riders next play today against Olympic at Rolling Hills Golf Course in Bremerton.

The Trojans shaded Sequim 230-235 at Rolling Hills on Tuesday.

“The girls played well considering the cold, wet and muddy conditions,” Port Angeles coach Beth Krause said.

Other scorers for the Riders were Kate Haworth with 66, Chloe Brown with 67, and Taylor Rutz and Maddie Boe with 68 each.

Sequim 2, Bremerton 1

BREMERTON — Mason Barrett scored the winning goal for the Wolves in the 68th minute on an assist by Nicholas Baird in a constant downpour Tuesday.

Barrett beat the Bremerton goalkeeper for the ball in the corner and slapped it home.

“We played OK, but not great,” Sequim coach Dave Brasher said.

“Considering the conditions and that we were playing on the road, we played well.”

Cameron Chase put the Wolves on the board first with a shot in the 21st minute.

The Knights tied it up in the 36th minute with the score deadlocked at 1-all at halftime.

Bremerton pressured Sequim early in the second half but the Wolves controlled the tempo in the final 20 minutes.

“Hector Baylon played stellar defense for us while center Dorian Halverson played well for us,” Brasher said.

“Lijah Sanford was solid in the back.”

Freshman goalkeeper Austin Wagner earned four saves in the game.

It was a low-shooting affair as the Wolves outshot the Knights 8-5.

The 3-1-0 Wolves next will host the strong Port Townsend Redskins (2-1-0) today.
