Who says you need to score in all four quarters to crush your rivals?
Despite going scoreless in the final frame Saturday, the Coupeville High School girls JV basketball squad strolled to victory in its home opener.
Bouncing visiting Orcas Island 30-15, the Wolves rise to 2-1 on the season.
Coupeville came out strongly, claiming a 10-2 lead at the first break, thanks to big buckets in the paint from Ella Colwell, and never slowed down.
While the second quarter ended in an 11-11 tie, a 9-0 run in the third sealed the win for the Wolves.
Up 30-13 headed into the fourth, thanks to Colwell and the hot shooting of three-ball wizard Natalie Castano, CHS was on cruise control, and, on this night, that turned out to be just fine.
Colwell paced the Wolves, going for a game-high eight points, all in the first half, while Castano netted treys in both the second and third quarters.
It was the first points this season for the newcomer to the Coupeville hoops program.
Alita Blouin and Ryanne Knoblich each banked in six points to aid the cause, while Gwen Gustafson and Abby Mulholland knocked down a bucket apiece to round out the offensive attack.
Samantha Streitler, Jessenia Camarena, Heidi Meyers, Claire Mayne, and Morgan Stevens rounded out the active roster, all seeing time for coach Megan Smith’s squad.
