Coupeville Sports

All the buses that stayed home in Coupeville are dry right now.

Well, they could have been playing outside…

   “I’m just saying, coach, if we can still see the road, we can certainly see the McDonalds.”

Through rain, through sleet, through snow, basketball will go on.

If Coupeville Middle School had played at home Monday, everyone would have seen bare, dry roads.

But, instead, the Wolves were off to Port Angeles to face Stevens (and its humongous student body) and things were a lot whiter.

Doubt me? Check out the photos above, which come to us from CMS 8th grade coach Bob Martin.

Once inside the gym, Coupeville slipped and slid to a pair of losses, one more lopsided than the other.

The Wolf 8th graders, who only suited six players, fell 68-28, while the 7th grade varsity lost 45-28.

The older squad, now 0-2 on the season, was led by Sage Downes and Jake Mitten, who went for 10 apiece.

Daniel Olson added five and Dakota Eck hit a trey.

The younger Wolves had a fantastic second quarter, dropping 18 points, but could only muster 10 across the other three periods and fell to 1-1.

Logan Martin and Caleb Meyer led the 7th graders with eight points apiece, while Connor Barton popped for six, Hawthorne Wolfe banked home four and Xavier Murdy added a bucket.
