Relentless.

Pouring it on in every quarter, the Coupeville High School JV girls’ basketball team thrashed visiting Chimacum 46-13 Wednesday night.

The squad’s fifth win in its last seven games, it lifted the young guns to 8-5 overall, 3-0 in Olympic League play.

And while she appreciates every win, the way it was earned made JV coach Amy King especially happy.

“Full team effort, full team win!,” she said. “It always starts with playing hard defense and the offense will come.

“Our defense was solid through the game, which was good, because we struggled on offense throughout the game,” King added. “We weren’t making smart passes or moving the ball well. Luckily we had a few steals and rebounds to get things going.”

The Wolves jumped out to an 11-2 lead after one quarter, stretched that to 18-6 at the break and broke things wide open with a 28-5 second half.

The fourth quarter belonged to Skyler Lawrence, who went for eight of her 10 points in the period.

“Skyler seemed to be open every time down the court. Pass it in and she put up four bank shots in a row,” King said. “It was great to see her patience, confidence and no rush, just took the shots and was rewarded.”

The Wolves got hustle and effort all the way down their eight-player roster, with King tossing extra compliments to a few.

“The Lauren’s (Rose and Grove) got after their point guard while Kailey (Kellner) anticipated passes, getting a steal or tapping the ball out of bounds,” King said. “She did a good job of forcing them to make turn overs.

“Allison (Wenzel) and Brisa (Herrera) were both moving really well and denying passes, looking for the chance to just latch onto the ball.”

Kellner paced Coupeville with 13 points, five rebounds and seven steals while Lawrence added eight rebounds and a steal to her 10 points.

Rose (10 points, two rebounds, six steals), Grove (eight points, five rebounds, four steals), Kyla Briscoe (two points, four rebounds, two steals), Tiffany Briscoe (two points, eight rebounds), Wenzel (one point, five rebounds) and Herrera (three rebounds) filled up the stat sheet.
