They made a strong first impression.
The Coupeville High School girls basketball team beat preseason predictions, finishing third in the new six-team North Sound Conference.
Proving the best of the four scrappy public schools, CHS pushed back as hard as anyone against the twin private school juggernauts who ruled the roost.
The Wolves took Cedar Park Christian to the final moments in the second meeting between the teams, and did what it could to contend with league champ King’s.
Based on their play, and their refusal to back down, league coaches tabbed three Wolves for All-League honors, led by senior Lindsey Roberts earning a First-Team distinction.
A four-year varsity vet, she led Coupeville in scoring for the second-straight season, and wrapped her career as the #18 scorer in program history.
Fellow senior Ema Smith and junior Scout Smith, Coupeville’s other two varsity captains, were honored as Second-Team All-League picks.
Both Smith girls had big seasons, with Ema topping the team in nailing three-pointers, while Scout ran the point for the Wolves and sealed a key win at Sultan with a pair of late free throws.
In addition, junior Avalon Renninger shared the NSC Sportsmanship Award.
The coaching staffs from each league team picked one player from their squad to be honored.
The league awards were just the start Thursday as CHS coaches David and Amy King capped their seventh season with a team banquet.
