POULSBO — The Sequim Wolves are used to seeing great quarterback play.
Wolves senior starter Frank Catelli and junior backup Jack Wiker have taken turns lighting up opposing defenses this fall.
They will get a taste of that same dual-threat capability from the other side when they take on W.F. West (Chehalis) and Mitch Gueller tonight in the Class 2A state playoffs.
According to Sequim head coach Erik Wiker, the 6-foot-3, 205-pound senior is as explosive as they come under center.
“He dances through people,” said coach Wiker, whose team hosts the Bearcats tonight at North Kitsap High School at 6 p.m. “He’ll go and there will be a crowd of people and not get tackled.
“Not that he’s Superman, but he’s pretty freaking good.”
Indeed, as 2A Greater St. Helens League champion Hockinson learned in last week’s preliminary playoff loss, Gueller is quite the weapon.
Not only did he total 325 yards (169 rushing and 156 passing) and have a hand in four touchdowns offensively, he also returned a punt 85 yards for a score.
Between the myriad offensive looks the Bearcats (8-2 overall) run, he can line up under center, in the shotgun or even out wide as a receiver.
Wherever it is, he’s dangerous. He’s completed 68 of 123 passes this year for 1,089 yards and 12 TDs, has 10 rushing TDs, two receiving TDs and has gotten into the end zone on kickoff and punt returns as well.
He signed a letter-of-intent to play baseball for Washington State on Wednesday.
