Stop, pop, make the numbers jump

Honor what has been, dream about what can be.

With the 52nd season of Coupeville High School varsity girls’ basketball having ended Tuesday in an overtime playoff loss on Orcas Island, some numbers are set in stone, while others remain open to addition.

Departing seniors Teagan Calkins and Danica Strong have finished their runs, while eight active players can return to storm the career scoring charts once again next winter.

Leading the way will be current junior Haylee Armstrong and sophomore Tenley Stuurmans, who currently sit at #39 and #55 all-time for a Wolf hoops program launched in 1974.

While both have a long way to go to challenge Brianne King for the top spot, the duo can certainly aim for top 10 finishes.

If everything goes right.

You can never fully predict the future — injuries, skipped seasons, even a pandemic has altered past hoops careers.

But, if they’re on the floor, basketball in hand, next winter, I feel confident Armstrong and Stuurmans — who needs 24 to pass big sis Lyla for family honors — will continue to make the net pop.

Until then, a look at the 255 varsity players whose scoring stats I have been able to document thus far.

Trackin’ buckets, taking’ names

February 18, 2026 by David Svien

Davin Houston dreams of knocking down buckets. (Jackie Saia photo)

One eye always on the future.

The 109th season of Coupeville High School varsity boys’ basketball ended Tuesday night with a playoff loss on Orcas Island, and already our gaze shifts to the future.

It is the way of the scoring stats tracker, both to pay tribute to the past, while always daydreaming about what could develop in the future.

With five Wolves scheduled to graduate this spring, those players career numbers are now locked into place, and we have a new active scoring leader in the clubhouse awaiting the start of the 110th season of CHS hardwood action.

That man is current junior Davin Houston, who pumped in 118 points this season after tallying three in a cameo as a sophomore.

With 121 points and counting, he’ll enter his senior campaign in 189th place all-time, and rarin’ to move up the chart.

“We made them work for that win”

February 17, 2026 by David Svien

“It was an absolute dog fight for 36 minutes!”

Coupeville High School varsity girls’ basketball coach Scout Smith had an up close and personal view of Tuesday’s playoff rumble between her Wolves and host Orcas Island.

And she witnessed a wild one, with both teams dropping daggers and pulling miracles out of thin air before the Vikings finally escaped with a 50-48 overtime win.

While the loss drops Coupeville to 5-15 and eliminates them from the District 1/2 playoffs a game shy of vying for a state tourney berth, Smith glowed with pride afterwards.

“It’s never fun to lose, but we can walk away from the game with our heads held high,” she said. “I am very proud of the way our team played and fought hard throughout the game.

“Each one left everything they had out on the court tonight.

“Credit to Orcas Island. They played a good game, and we made them work for that win.”

Coupeville’s win/loss record has been deceptive all season, with a young team coming very close to flipping the script in numerous narrow losses.

The Wolves squared off with the Vikings three times this season, and the margin of defeat in those games? Three, two, and two points.

Tuesday’s tilt opened in favor of CHS, which pulled out to an early 10-6 lead, with four different players hitting the bottom of the net — but not the one who would eventually lead the team in scoring.

A big three-ball from Teagan Calkins, setup by a rebound and pass from defensive dynamo Arianna Cunningham, was the main dagger, but then things took a big swerve.

As in the Wolves plunged off a cliff for a bit.

Orcas closed the first quarter with a bucket, then went off on a 14-1 surge in the second frame, momentarily making it look like this might be a blowout, and not in a good way.

Never fear, as Danica Strong wasn’t going out like that.

The Coupeville senior had spent the first half doing the dirty work, ripping down rebounds and swatting one wayward Orcas shot into the cheap seats, but after the halftime break, she came out ready to rain down pain.

Scoring all 15 of her points across the second half and overtime, Strong started tossing haymakers, and the Vikings got staggered.

The Wolves got back to within 26-24 midway through the third quarter but made their biggest moves in the fourth.

Back-to-back breakaway buckets off of steals by Haylee Armstrong and Tenley Stuurmans forced a 31-31 tie, before Strong powered her way through the paint to give the Wolves their first lead in a long time at 35-34.

With the clock ticking down, the teams exchanged buckets, with Orcas reclaiming the lead at the very end.

Cue an ice water in her veins moment from Armstrong, who knocked down a free throw with 13.9 seconds to play to knot things at 40-40, before CHS made one final defensive stand to force extra time.

Neither team was ready to go down easy in the four-minute overtime frame, with Strong netting a pair of free throws, Orcas surging ahead 45-42, then Strong nailing a game-tying trey from the right side.

The Vikings slipped back ahead on a pair of charity shots, before things got really dramatic.

Armstrong popped a three-ball on the move to stake Coupeville to a 48-47 lead, only to have Orcas gunner Sofia Mahony-Jauregui answer with a long-range rainbow of her own with under 30 seconds to play to set the final score.

Coming out victorious, the Vikings advance to play Friday Harbor Thursday in Mount Vernon in a winner-to-state, loser-out game, while the Wolves will turn their eyes to the future, when they can return eight of the 10 players from this year’s roster.

“We look forward to next season and bringing back so many young and talented players,” Smith said.

“We will definitely miss our seniors Danica and Teagan, but we are extremely grateful for their contributions to our program.”

Strong capped her run as a Wolf hoops star with a team-high 15 points, while Stuurmans, just a sophomore, banked in 14 in support.

Armstrong (8), Calkins (5), Cunningham (3), and Maynes (3) also scored, with Kennedy O’Neill and Lexis Drake seeing floor time.

As she exits, Calkins notches one final personal milestone, becoming the 26th Wolf girl to score 400 career points for a program launched in 1974.

“The Red Dragon” finishes with 402 points, while Armstrong, a junior, also hit a major mark. With 305 points and counting, she is the 39th CHS female player to crack the 300-point club.

Armstrong, who entered the season with 98 points to her credit, tallied a team-high 207 this season, the most any Wolf girl has scored across a single campaign in the last decade.

She and current JV coach Alita Blouin, who racked up 204 points during the 2022-2023 season, are the only 200+ female single-season scorers since Makana Stone nuked the nets for 427 points in 2015-2016.

Playoff loss brings season to a close

It’s hard to fight from behind all night.

That well-worn bit of wisdom bit the Coupeville High School varsity boys’ basketball squad hard Tuesday night, as the Wolves were eliminated from the District 1/2 playoffs with a 59-45 loss on Orcas Island.

The defeat drops CHS to 7-13, and Brad Sherman’s road warriors lose five players, including four starters, to graduation.

Wolf seniors Camden Glover, Aiden O’Neill, Easton Green, Chase Anderson, and Malachi Somes reached the end of their run, with Anderson hunched on the end of the bench in the final quarter, an ice bag clamped on his wrist.

Tuesday’s score is a bit deceptive.

Throw out the second quarter, and it’s a one-bucket game.

But they don’t let you do that, so a 21-9 Orcas surge across an eight-minute span proved fatal for a scrappy Wolf pack which was otherwise right there with the Vikings.

Coupeville’s one, and only lead, came at 2-0, as the Wolves broke the press right off the top and fed the ball to Somes for a quick layup.

But things got more difficult after that, with Orcas bolting out to a 10-4 lead and never letting the visitors get fully back into the game.

A sweet jumper in the paint off the fingertips of Davin Houston and a three-ball from O’Neill — set up by a nice kick-out by Carson Grove — pulled Coupeville to within 10-9 at the first break, but then things took a fatal turn.

The Wolves ended up beating Orcas 8-4 in the three-ball shoot-off, but the Vikings hit two daggers from long distance early in the second quarter to bust things wide open with a 12-0 run to start the second frame.

Anderson singed the nets on a three-ball to finally stop the bleeding, but the Vikings pulled off back-to-back three-point plays the hard way to carry a 31-18 lead in at the half.

O’Neill knocked down one of his four treys to kick off the third, getting the deficit back down to 10, but it wasn’t to be, as Orcas responded with a 9-0 run to stretch things back out to 40-21.

From there, the Wolves dug down deep, even after losing Anderson, who hit the floor hard late in the third, and fought all the way until the final buzzer.

The two teams finished in a 16-16 deadlock across the third quarter, with Orcas only taking the fourth by a razor-thin 12-11 margin.

Houston, a springy ball of energy who will be Coupeville’s leading active scorer headed into next season, finished his junior campaign strongly, pumping in a pair of three-balls and a pair of free throws in the fourth quarter.

O’Neill paced the Wolves with a team-high 14, with Houston and Anderson each rattling the rim for 10 points in support.

Somes (6), Glover (3), and Green (2) also scored, with Liam Blas, Riley Lawless, and Grove rounding out the rotation.

Before exiting, Anderson reached one final personal milestone, passing ’70s icon Bill Riley (934 points) to move into 7th place all-time on the CHS boys’ career scoring chart for a program in its 109th season.

He finishes with back-to-back seasons of 300+ points and tallied 943 across four seasons of varsity ball.

 

Final season scoring stats:

Chase Anderson – 344
Camden Glover – 236
Davin Houston – 118
Aiden O’Neill – 118
Malachi Somes – 68
Carson Grove – 32
Riley Lawless – 27
Easton Green – 23
Liam Blas – 16
Mahkai Myles – 12
Sage Arends – 10
