Adams posted totals of 10.7 points per game and 8.3 rebounds per game, the rebounding total good for second in the GNAC.

He started all 29 games for the Saints (6-23) and posted 22 points and a season-high six blocks in a season-ending 70-66 win over Northwest Nazarene last week.

Soccer club tryout

SEQUIM — Northern Peninsula Football Club — a new semipro soccer squad opening play in late April — needs to find some players.

The new Western Washington Premier League Second Division team will play a 10-game schedule from April 25 to July 11, with five home games set on Saturdays at Memorial Field in Port Townsend.

Practices will be held in Sequim a couple of times a week.

Tryouts for the team will be held at the Albert Haller Playfields, 500 N. Blake Ave., in Sequim at 1 p.m. Sunday. Players will pay a $30 tryout fee (cash or check) that will go toward startup expenses for the team.

To register for the tryout session, email NorthPenFC@gmail.com.
