Just gonna put this out there — you score one point in the first 16 minutes of a high school basketball game, you’re not likely to win.
That being said, the Coupeville JV girls hoops squad picked up the scoring pace in the second half Saturday at Meridian, refusing to exit quietly.
While the host Trojans finished with a 45-13 win, the young Wolves, who are missing a chunk of players due to injuries and driver’s ed classes, still boast the best record by a CHS basketball team this winter.
Now 6-8, Coupeville’s second squad returns home Tuesday to play Klahowya in an Olympic League tussle.
Saturday, the Wolves fell behind 14-1 after one quarter and 25-1 at the halftime break, with a solitary free throw from Nicole Lester the only thing dropping for Coupeville.
CHS was much more competitive in the second half, tossing in five points in the third and seven in the fourth.
Ashlie Shank paced the Wolves with six points and two steals, while Maddie Hilkey (three points, six rebounds, two steals and two assists) and Mollie Bailey (three points, four boards) joined the fight.
Genna Wright (four boards and two steals), Lester (three boards, two steals), Tia Wurzrainer (two rebounds), Julia García Oñoro (a rebound and a steal) and Avalon Renninger (a blocked shot) also played.
