The Wolves regrouped after last week’s close loss to North Kitsap, going up 21-8 at halftime on two touchdown passes by sophomore Kobe Applegate and holding on for 27-16 win at North Mason on Sept. 27.
Applegate put up big numbers in his first extended varsity action going 18-of-23 for 255 yards and the two TD passes with no interceptions.
Taig Wiker, Sequim’s starting quarterback, left the game in the first quarter with a knee injury.
Head coach Erik Wiker said Taig is day-to-day with the injury and said he doesn’t know if he will be able to play next week.
Wiker said the Wolves (1-1 in league play, 30-1 overall) did a good job bouncing back from their tough, emotional loss against North Kitsap the week before.
“We had great practises this week — the past is the past,” he said.
Wiker said Applegate did a great job coming off the bench.
“He did really well; he ran the offense, he ran the RPO (run-pass option) packages, he went through the reads really well. He showed a lot of composure,” Wiker said.
Truman Nestor had nine catches for 84 yards.
Michael Young scored on a 34-yard run and a 17-yard pass reception for the Wolves and Garrett Hoesel added a 29-yard pass reception for Sequim.
Walker Ward carried 22 times for 79 yards and a score for Sequim.
Wiker also said Lane Mote had a good game with three sacks and several tackles behind the line and that Isaiah Cowan had a blocked punt. He also said the Wolves’ offensive line did a good job protecting Applegate.
