They started off hot, and ended even hotter.

Blitzing host Concrete from start to finish Friday, the Coupeville High School JV boys basketball squad roared to a 57-20 win.

The non-conference victory lifts the Wolves to 4-3 and keeps the young guns undefeated on the road.

The JV is a spotless 3-0 when playing away from Whidbey, which is probably a great sign, as Coupeville’s boys play five of their next six in hostile gyms.

Friday, the Wolves blew out to an 18-6 lead after one quarter, paced by eight points from hot-shooting freshman Logan Martin, and never looked back.

While the second quarter became a defensive stalemate (4-4) and the third quarter was competitive, with CHS holding an 11-8 edge, the fourth quarter was show time.

Coupeville couldn’t miss down the stretch, riding 10 from Grady Rickner and eight off the fingertips of Daniel Olson as it cruised to the finish line on a torrid 24-2 tear.

The Wolves spread their offensive burden across almost the entire active roster, with seven of eight players notching a bucket.

Grady Rickner led the way with 19 points, while Olson was hot on his heels with 18.

Martin (8), Jaylen Nitta (4), TJ Rickner (4), Cody Roberts (2), and Miles Davidson (2) also scored, while Chris Ruck was an unstoppable force of nature while playing aggressive defense.
