SEQUIM — Sequim won a showdown of unbeaten Olympic League boys golf teams when it defeated Port Townsend 324-334 at Cedars at Dungeness.

Wolves senior Jack Shea ran away with Wednesday’s match medalist honor by shooting a 2-under-par 70.

Shea’s round was 11 strokes better than the match’s second-best 18-hole score, an 81 shot by Port Townsend’s Sebastian Thomas.

That gap is significant considering Sequim won by 10 strokes.

The Redhawks also had the third- and fourth-best scores, an 82 by Keegan Khile and an 83 by Patrick Morton.

Morton fired a 43 on the front nine and a 40 on the back, which made him one of two scoring golfers in Wednesday’s match who scored better on the back nine than the front. Sequim’s Jade Arnold (43 on front, 41 on back) was the other.

Arnold and Blake Wiker both carded 84s for the Wolves, and Josiah Carter finished with an 86.

Austin Khile rounded out Port Townsend’s scoring with a round of 88.

Sequim (3-0, 3-0) and Olympic (2-0, 3-0) are the only unbeaten teams left in league play. The Wolves’ next match isn’t until Tuesday, April 12, when they play at Chimacum.

The Redhawks (3-1, 3-1) are off until their home match against Kingston (0-2, 1-2) on Thursday, April 14.
