SEQUIM — Jayson brocklesby burned the nets with 24 points to spark the Sequim boys basketball team to a crucial Olympic League victory Saturday night.
The Wolves beat Bremerton 88-52 to secure at least third place in league with one game remaining.

Sequim coach Greg Glasser said he was pleased with the way the Wolves came out to play against the Knights.
“Our guys played very well, shared the ball nicely and shot very well,” he said.
“I was happy with the way they responded [after losing to Kingston on Friday night], especially with our big game with Port Angeles coming up.”
Four players scored in double figures, and in to addition to Brocklesby, three others lit up the scoreboard as Gabe Carter sank 13, Corbin Webb swished in 12 and Rory Kallappa added 11.
The Wolves scored at least 20 points in each quarter, including 24 apiece in the first and second periods.
