Andrew Shimer sacked Sheets for a 4-yard loss on first down, then Sheets threw 2 successive incompletions on 2nd and 3rd down under tremendous blitz pressure from the Wolves.
On 4th-and-goal from the Sequim 11 with just 11 seconds left, Sheets had a receiver flash open at the goal line on a post pattern, but Bashore could only manage to get one hand on the ball before it fell to the turf incomplete, setting off a raucous Wolves homecoming victory celebration.

Wiker packed the ball 19 times for 163 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Mixing plays superbly, Kingston quarterback Bobby Reece drove the Bucs 80 yards to the tying touchdown in 9 plays - 5 rushes and 4 passes -- finishing with a 13-yard scoring toss to Nathan Carleton.

The Wolves answered with 2:31 remaining in the period on a 26-yard Wiker TD run, closing the game to 21-14.

Tabanera's second of four visits to the Sequim endzone boosted the Bucs halftime bulge to 27-14.
Kingston failed to score a long march that ate up the first 6 minutes of the 3rd quarter, stymied in the red zone on a holding penalty and a pass interference flag as the Bucs turned the ball over on downs at the Sequim 26.
The back-breaking Kingston score came 49 seconds into the final quarter when Reece hit Matt Shaw in the flat and the big tight end steamrolled 19 yards to the goal line, putting the Bucs up 34-14.
The teams exchanged touchdowns the rest of the way - 2 by Sequim's Wiker and 2 by Kingston's Tabanera.
