(Kent) -- Clover Park scored the first 12 points of the game and never trailed Monday, beating the Sequim High Wolves 60-45 for the 2A West Central District boys basketball championship at Kent's cavernous ShoWare Center.

Clover Park (18-5) got 26 points from standout guard David Crisp and Anthony White added 10 for the Warriors, who are headed for the regionals for a matchup with the Olympic Trojans next Saturday at Kent-Meridian High School in a 6 p.m. contest.

Though Sequim's 13 game winning streak came to an end, the Wolves outstanding 20-4 season will continue Saturday in the regionals at Kent-Meridian with a 4 o'clock game against either Hockinson or Washougal.

The two southwest Washington teams will meet Tuesday to determine Sequim's regional opponent.

It took Sequim 3 minutes and 4 seconds to get on the scoreboard when Rory Kallappa's layup cut Clover Park's initial advantage to 12-2.

The Wolves eventually got used to the depth of the huge arena and the speed of their opponent, trailing 17-9 at the first quarter break.

Clover Park feasted on 22 Sequim turnovers during the contest, converting many for fast break baskets.

Crisp had 13 at intermission after connecting on a variety of shots and spectacular moves, giving the Warriors a 30-18 bulge.

The Wolves had a 14-11 third quarter edge as Gabe Carter and Kallappa each scored a pair of hoops.

CP went to the final period ahead 41-32.
