The third quarter was not the problem.
Snapping a disturbing recent trend, the Coupeville High School boys’ basketball team put together its best eight-minute stretch Friday night coming out of the halftime break.
Unfortunately, fighting host King’s to an 11-11 standstill in the third wasn’t enough, since the Wolves went into the break down by 20. Tack on a scoreless fourth quarter and Coupeville suffered a 60-26 loss.
The defeat dropped the Wolves to 2-10 on the season, 0-7 in Cascade Conference play.
With South Whidbey losing 80-73 against Granite Falls, Coupeville remains two games behind the Falcons in the race for a 1A playoff berth, with seven league games to play.
King’s took control of the game with a 19-5 run to open the game, then closed out the contest with a 12-0 surge in the fourth.
Anthony Bergeron threw down 10 to pace the Wolves, while Nick Streubel banged for six in the paint.
Wiley Hesselgrave netted five, Aaron Trumbull and Gavin O’Keefe each dropped in a bucket and Morgan Payne slid a free throw through the net to close out the scoring.
