SPORTS: Webb sparks Sequim to 58-51 win over Port Angeles for second place in boys basketball action Tuesday night

SEQUIM — Corbin Webb’s final game at Rick Kaps Gym ended on a high note.

The 6-foot-2 senior was on fire in the third quarter and early fourth period as he burned the nets for 25 points and sparked Sequim to a crucial regular-season ending 58-51 victory over archrival Port Angeles on Tuesday night.

The Wolves led by as much as 13 points (51-38) with 2:53 left in the game and rode out the cushion to capture second place in the Olympic League for the first time.

The Roughriders, who came charging back to make it close at the end by outscoring Sequim 13-7 in the final moments, settled for third place in the Olympic League.

Both teams move on to subdistrict tournament play this weekend for seeding to the West Central District championships starting next week.

The Wolves will take on Clover Park at Klahowya High School in Silverdale at 8 p.m. Friday while the Riders will battle Sumner at Foster High School in Tacoma at 8 p.m. Friday.

Both teams also will play Saturday.

Sequim could earn anywhere from the Olympic League’s first seed (with two wins) to the fourth seed (with two losses).

Port Angeles could take the fifth seed with two victories or the eighth seed with two losses.

“We will be playing for the fifth seed,” Port Angeles coach Wes Armstrong said.

Webb and his Sequim teammates, meanwhile, made sure they would be playing for a top-four seed with Tuesday’s big win.

Both teams tied for second in league at 12-4 but the Wolves earned second with their two wins against the Riders this year.

Port Angeles had the momentum on its side when Webb took over the game, swishing in several 3-pointers seemingly with ease.

But it wasn’t as easy as it looked.

“I thought we were defending Corbin pretty well but he was just hitting them,” Armstrong said.

“He’s a phenomenal player. I love the kid but I’m glad he’s a senior.”
