A short turnaround and a talented foe.
That made for a rough evening Wednesday for the Coupeville High School JV girls basketball squad.
Back on the court for the second time in less than 24 hours, with both games on the road, the young Wolves fell 37-12 at Oak Harbor.
The non-conference loss to the 3A Wildcats evens Coupeville’s record at 1-1 on the season.
The Wolves now get a bit of time off, from games at least, with the home opener against Orcas Island set for Saturday afternoon.
Wednesday night, CHS stumbled out of the gate, falling behind 12-2 at the first break.
While the Wolves did better in the second and fourth quarters (6-2 and 6-3 deficits), a 13-5 third quarter hurt as well, and they weren’t able to slow down Oak Harbor.
“It was a tough one out there,” said Coupeville coach Megan Smith. “We just couldn’t find our footing and ended up playing Oak Harbor’s game instead of ours.”
While the final score was a bit lopsided, the Wolves had their moments.
“We’ve got some things to work on, but I also saw great things from our girls!,” Smith said. “Savana (Allen) and Ella (Colwell) really stepped up today and that was really fun to watch.”
Allen and Colwell dropped in four points apiece to lead the scoring, Ryanne Knoblich banked home a bucket, and Morgan Stevens and Heidi Meyers each added a free throw.
Gwen Gustafson, Claire Mayne, Lily Leedy, Natalie Castano, Jessenia Camarena, Samantha Streitler, and Alita Blouin also saw floor time for the Wolves.
