(Sequim) -- The Sequim Wolves came from behind in the second half to defeat the Port Angeles Roughriders 27-14 Friday night, clinching their third consecutive Olympic League championship.
About 15-hundred fans witnessed the Friday's contest at Sequim High School.
Port Angeles got the only touchdown of the first half after capitalizing on a Sequim fumble by quarterback Cody Field at the Wolves 4-yard-line.
Two plays later, running back Dylan Brewer crashed into the end zone putting the green and white ahead 7-0 with 5:47 left in the second quarter.

Brewer had a tremendous contest, carrying the ball 38 times for 194 yards and 2 scores.
The Roughriders, hampered by the loss of their top 3 receivers to injury, used a smash-mouth "Power I" formation for the majority of the contest, passing just three times, all which were intercepted by Sequim.
Port Angeles had 258 rushing yards to Sequim's 159.
PA quarterback Keenen Walker, who suffered a broken forearm the previous week, played running back and safety for the Riders wearing a short cast, rushing for 59 yards on 10 carries.
