Let the second season begin.

Sequim’s boys tennis team got their final warm-ups last week, prepping to battle for district and state tourney berths in a trio of league matches.

Sequim started the week with a 7-0 loss to undefeated North Kitsap on Oct. 9 — the first time the Wolves have been shut out in 2017.

Sequim rebounded with a solid match on the road at Coupeville on Oct. 10, but fell 4-3. Blake Wiker, Raymond Lam and Thomas Hughes swept the singles matches for Sequim. Wiker topped Pedro Gamara 6-2, 6-1 while Lam downed Jakobi Baumann, 6-0 and 6-2. Hughes also had a straight-set win, besting Nile Lockwood 6-2, 6-1.

In No. 1 doubles play, Tim Porter and Damon Little split two sets with Coupeville’s Will Nelson and Joey Lippo before falling 10-5 in a tiebreaker. The same fate befell Sequim’s No. 4 doubles team of Dustin Koch and Liam Braaten, who split two sets before falling 10-4 to Jaschon Baumann and Tiger Johnson.

The Wolves capped the regular season with a 4-3 home win against the Olympic Trojans, a finale that featured three, three-set matches.

Hughes and Wiker rebounded from a first-set loss to knock off Keaton Dean and Aidan Ortega, 4-6, 6-3 and 6-3. Jonathan Heintz and Kevin Meyer added a win in No. 3 doubles play, topping Cody Conner and Chris Duckworth 6-2, 6-2. Braaten and Koch edged Brent Bohlman and Charlie Hennessy 6-4, 7-6 (7-5), and Sam Frymyer locked up the win with a comeback victory in No. 3 singles play, beating Jarde Geier 1-6, 6-2 and 6-4. Braaten and Frymyer earned Sequim coach Mark Textor’s players of the match.
