Overcoming a rash of turnovers and some early cold shooting, Coupeville’s “Fall Ball” girls’ hoops squad pounded Marysville-Pilchuck 30-21 Sunday in a game that was more of a blowout than the score might sound.

Now 3-0, the Wolves (and their one ringer from Bush High School) were the much stronger squad, but allowed their hosts to hang around for awhile.

Monica Vidoni banged inside for the game’s opening bucket, and that already equaled as many field goals as Marysville would get in the entire first half.

But numerous fouls called on a somewhat-tired Wolf squad allowed Marysville to stroll to the free throw line on numerous occasions.

Sinking six of their freebies (Coupeville only had three free throw attempts the entire game) kept the Tomahawks close at the half, trailing just 14-8.

The Wolves turned up the heat a bit in the second half, getting many of their buckets off of fast breaks.

When they didn’t convert the first time, they controlled the boards with the trio of Vidoni, Makana Stone and Rachael Arand dominating in the paint and got second, third and fourth shots.

Arand, the lone non-CHS player on the Wolf squad, paced Coupeville with nine points, while hauling down five boards and rejecting four Marysville shots.

Vidoni (seven points, four rebounds, two blocks) and Stone (four points, 12 rebounds, three assists, three steals) filled up the stat sheet, with Kacie Kiel, Lauren Grove, Kailey Kellner, Mia Littlejohn and Tiffany Briscoe each dropping in a bucket in support.

Kiel, Kellner and Briscoe each had two rebounds.
