Time to build a bigger trophy room!!

Lauren Grove made the jump from JV to varsity and was tabbed as her team’s best defender.

The Wolf varsity and coach David King celebrate after knocking Seattle Christian out of the playoffs.

Makana Stone went out with a slam dunk.

The Coupeville High School senior capped her stellar prep hoops career with a second-straight MVP award from 1A Olympic League coaches, then took home five other honors when the Wolves held their awards banquet Monday.

Plus, she was tabbed to play in the All-State game Saturday, Mar. 19 at King’s High School (4 PM tip-off).

Stone will be one of 10 players on the 1A squad, which will face off with a 2A all-star team.

And she wasn’t the only Coupeville hoops star who needed their parents to hitch a trailer to the car to haul home all their hardware.

Junior Kailey Kellner and sophomore Mia Littlejohn were also named First-Team All-League selections, as CHS, which successfully defended its league title, accounted for 50% of the league’s top six players.

Port Townsend (sophomore Kaitlyn Meek), Klahowya (junior Maya Ladner) and Chimacum (junior Mechelle Nisbit) each notched one First-Teamer.

Wolf junior Lauren Grove, who made her varsity basketball debut in 2015-2016, received Honorable Mention from league coaches.

Coupeville, which went 16-6, advanced to state for the first time in a decade and is now a flawless 18-0 in two years of Olympic League competition, also received the conference’s Sportsmanship Award for the second straight year.

So, basically, their streak of crushing league foes could scream “rise of the Evil Empire,” but their poise and manners betrays that a bit.

They’re sort of like the Detroit Pistons “Bad Boys” of the late ’80s-early ’90s, only a lot more couth and considerate.
