Olympic Crosscutters bring a new summer ballgame to the Peninsula
The Olympic Crosscutters took shape in 2015 as a summer development club for high school players from Sequim and the North Olympic Peninsula, sporting black-and-yellow colors and a bear crest between crossed bats under a crosscut saw [1].Plans called for roughly a 25-player roster with an 18-man travel squad, open tryouts at Civic Field in Port Angeles, and work spread across Civic Field, Volunteer Field, the Sequim High School diamond, and Bob Bates Field. A packed slate — about 47–50 games including tournaments and a college showcase — was set to anchor the summer [1].Local support lined up early, with backing from Ryfield Properties (Gabe Rygaard), All Weather Heating and Cooling, and American Legion Post 62 in Sequim [1]. The club is also listed publicly as a Sequim-based organization with a link to its website [2].
