(Sequim) -- Sequim's Kenny Meier scored his only basket of the game on a putback of a Corbin Webb trey attempt with 5 seconds left as the Wolves came from 16 points behind in the second half to beat the Evergreen Wolverines 61-60.
Evergreen's attempt at a game-winning shot began with a 70-foot inbounds pass that was deflected by Sequim's Tim Guan and recovered by the Wolverines' Tuan Le in the left corner.
Le's off balance triple attempt dropped off the backboard into the hands of Evergreen's Christian Sainz, who missed a point-blank putback as time expired.
Bedlam ensued with jubilant Sequim students mobbing their team at center court.
Sequim (15-7) qualified for the West Central District Tournament and will play White River, a 50-47 winner over Tyee, Saturday at North Kitsap with the tipoff scheduled for 2 p.m.
