In the real world, Goliath usually stomps on David.
That’s reality, and something two of three Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball teams suffered through Monday.
On the road facing ginormous Stevens, a school that feeds 2A Port Angeles High School, the Wolves endured two lopsided losses at the varsity level, but nabbed some redemption with a come-from-behind JV victory.
The CMS 7th grade varsity fell 53-8, while the 8th graders were knocked off 40-15.
The losses dropped both squads to 2-2 on the season, with Coupeville set to take the floor again Thursday, with home games against Sequim.
The 7th graders got three points apiece from Chelsea Prescott and Genna Wright, while Morgan Pease chipped in with a bucket.
Scout Smith paced the 8th grade varsity with seven, while Avalon Renninger (4), Emma Mathusek (3) and Maya Toomey-Stout (1) also scored.
While the losses were lopsided, Coupeville’s coaches were pleased with the effort from their undermanned teams.
“It was a rough night,” said 7th grade coach Ryan King. “But my girls spirits are still high and are using short memories and focusing on Sequim.”
The one true bright spot came from the 8th grade JV, which scored 29 of its points in the second half en route to a wild 37-29 win.
Cassidy Moody kicked things off by dropping in 10 points in the third quarter, then ceded a bit of the spotlight in the fourth to Tia Wurzrainer, who duplicated the feat.
Coupeville scored almost half of its points in the final quarter, banging away for 17, with Moody tossing in another five and Seraina Weatherford banking home a key bucket.
For the game all three Wolves hit season highs, with Moody leading the way with a sweet 21.
Wurzainer notched 12 and Weatherford added four.
