Welcome to blowout city.
Raining down buckets from every direction, and seemingly from every player, the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball squad romped Friday night.
Led by a 19-point, five three-ball performance from freshman Mason Grove, the Wolves jumped out quickly and sailed to a 57-32 win at Mount Vernon Christian.
The non-conference win lifts the CHS young guns to 7-6 on the season.
Coupeville put the game away quickly, storming out to a 20-6 lead after one quarter.
Six Wolves tallied points in the early going, with Grove hitting a pair of treys and a pair of free throws for a quick eight.
After that, Wolf coach Dustin Van Velkinburgh was able to roll out everyone who was in uniform, with 15 guys playing and 11 scoring.
Grove knocked down three more long-range shots in the fourth quarter to put a cap on his game-high 19, while his primary backup came from a brand-new Wolf.
Freshman Branden Newhard, making his CHS debut after recently moving to Whidbey, went for nine of his 11 in the second half.
Toss in six from Jered Brown, and the Wolves would have won playing a three-man game.
Coupeville didn’t stop there, however, with Sean Toomey-Stout and Jacobi Pacquette-Pilgrim draining four points apiece.
Aiden Juras (3), Gavin Knoblich (3), Jean Lund-Olsen (2), Nikolai Lyngra (2), Koa Davison (2) and Ulrik Wells (1) rounded out the scorers.
Kyle Rockwell, Ariah Bepler, Elliott Johnson and Tucker Hall also saw floor time.
