PORT ANGELES — It’s a big night for high school soccer, as the Port Angeles Roughriders host state power Bainbridge, while the Sequim Wolves travel to Olympic.
Bainbridge has already beaten North Kitsap 2-0, and a Spartan win tonight would make Bainbridge an early favorite for the Olympic League championship, even though it’s only the second week of the season.
The Spartans have won 10 straight against Port Angeles, including a three-game sweep last year in which they outscored the Riders 7-0.
But Port Angeles played Bainbridge tough in last year’s district semifinal, losing just 1-0 on the Spartans’ home field.
The Roughriders’ last win over Bainbridge came on October 19th, 2021, by a 1-0 score.
Bainbridge is coming off a 1-1 tie with Klahowya last week.
Kickoff tonight in Port Angeles is at 7.
Roughriders Morgan Politika, Audrey Rudd and Brooke Pierce look for their first career win against Bainbridge tonight.
Sequim travels to Olympic for a 7 o’clock kickoff. The Wolves have outscored their first two opponents 6-1.
Freshman Emme Henrikson, part of a highly touted Sequim freshman class, already has two goals, while fellow freshman Natalie Gomez has also played well.

The Peninsula Pirates have released their 2026-27 men’s basketball schedule.
The Pirates open the season with four home games in an eight-day stretch. Peninsula hosts Big Bend November 13th, Pierce on the 14th, Grays Harbor on the 19th and Chemeketa on the 21st.
The Pirates spend Thanksgiving weekend at Skagit Valley, November 27th through the 29th, with games against Yakima Valley, Wenatchee Valley and Big Bend.
And Pirate head coach A.J. DeMond has the eyes of Texas weeping after somehow pulling off a major recruiting victory, signing All-State 2A point guard Kon Deng Kot from Holy Cross Catholic Academy in Amarillo, Texas.
The 6-foot-1 Deng Kot helped lead Holy Cross to a Texas 2A state championship.
He scored 29 points in the state semifinal victory over First Baptist and followed that with 22 points in a 59-45 championship-game win over Legacy Christian.
Highly rated Amarillo, Texas, All-State point guard Kon Deng Kot will try to lead the Pirates to an NWAC championship.
Deng Kot says his relationship with DeMond helped sell him on Peninsula:
“When the coach first called me, I had a great relationship with him, and I felt it was a great place to be.”
