The future of Wolf hoops is here, and it’s already rampaging on the hardwood.
Balanced scoring and a killer third quarter equals victory.
At least it did Saturday for the Coupeville 8th grade SWISH girls basketball squad, which bounced Mount Vernon Christian 26-18 in its season-opener.
Busting open a tied game, the Wolves used a 9-2 run in the third, with five players scoring, to claim the victory.
The big shot came from Lauren Marrs, who knocked down a three-ball, while Gwen Gustafson and Brionna Blouin added buckets of their own.
Savina Wells and Maddie Georges each slipped a free throw through the net to round out Coupeville’s third-quarter outburst.
Georges had the hot hand early, hitting a pair of first-quarter buckets as the Wolves went to the first break up 8-7.
After MVC knotted things at 12-12 at the half, Coupeville responded in grand fashion in the third, than held on behind the play of Carolyn Lhamon in a see-saw fourth quarter.
Lhamon led the Wolves with six points and 14 rebounds, while Georges (5), Brionna Blouin (4), Marrs (3), Alita Blouin (3), Hayley Fielder (2), Gustafson (2), and Wells (1) all put points on the board.
Ryanne Knoblich was a terror on defense for Coupeville, and Wells, who is just a 6th grader, snagged nine boards.
