Sinnes honored

AUBURN — Former Port Angeles Roughriders standout Matt Sinnes was selected Coach of the Year by his peers in his first season as head boys basketball coach at Class 4A Auburn-Mountainview.

Auburn-Mountainview competes in the North Puget Sound League’s difficult South Division. Despite losing four starters to injuries for much of the season, Sinnes guided the team to a fourth-place finish in the league playoffs and a win in the West Central District Tournament before the Lions’ season came to a close.

Sinnes previously spent three seasons as head coach of the Fife girls basketball team, earning a coach of the year honor in his second season with the Spartans.

As coach of the year, Sinnes earned the honor of coaching the South Division’s All-Stars in a game against the NPSL’s North Division All-Stars.

He is the son of Sandy and Lee Sinnes of Port Angeles. Lee Sinnes is a former Roughrider head basketball coach and a member of the WIAA State Basketball Hall of Fame.

Pinewood Derby

SEQUIM — A Pinewood Derby Classic fundraiser for the Mount Olympus District of the Boy Scouts of America will be held Saturday, March 24.

Pinewood Derby is a racing event where competitors build their own cars from wood, usually from kits containing a block of pine, plastic wheels, and metal axles, and race the cars on a laned wooden track using gravity as power.

Races will be held at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave., with weigh-in at 11 a.m. and races in Standard and Outlaw categories beginning at noon.

This Pinewood Derby is for ages 18 and older and no Boy Scouts affiliation is required.

Standard entries are $30, Outlaw $50.

Prizes will be awarded in Speed, Outlaw, Business and Best of Show categories.

Pinewood car kits can be obtained from the office of Dr. Scott Brooksby, 680 W. Washington St., Suite E102 in Sequim, on Monday, Wednesday or Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The registration deadline is Friday.

Proceeds will help support the Friends of Scouting Program and will be used to provide insurance for camping trips and maintenance of Boy Scout camps.

To register, or for complete rules, call 360-504-2170 or Brooksby at 702-274-6700 or email sscott@seattlebsa.org or drscottbrooksby@gmail.com.
