League seeding tourney, late

Sequim was slated to host Kingston in an league seeding game on Nov. 2; results were too late for press time. The teams split their season series, with the Wolves topping Kingston 3-1 on Sept. 28 and Kingston beating Sequim 3-1 on Oct. 21.

North Kitsap is ranked No. 10 in the state based on RPI rankings, Sequim No. 21 and Kingston No. 35.

The West Central District tourney is set for Nov. 10 and Nov. 13 at Washington and Sammamish high schools, with the top six teams from the 16-team tourney advancing to state.

The state 2A tournament is held Nov. 19-20 in Yakima.
