He burnt the nets down, and the outside world took note.
Coupeville High School sophomore Hawthorne Wolfe became the first Wolf basketball player in at least a decade-plus to notch back-to-back 30+ point games, and his performance landed him some big props.
After scoring 34 against Oak Harbor on the road Dec. 4 and singing Orcas Island for 33 in Coupeville’s home opener Dec. 7, Wolfe was tabbed as an Athlete of the Week by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.
Each week during the school year, the WIAA honors male and female athletes from every level (4A-1B).
Wolfe kicked off his award-worthy week against 3A Oak Harbor, blitzing them for 15 points in the first quarter alone.
During that time, he went on a 12-0 run by himself, netting three straight three-balls, before driving hard to the hoop for a layup and free throw to get three the hard way.
Against Orcas, Wolfe exploded for 16 points in the third quarter, careening to the hoop, stoppin’ and poppin’, and driving the Viking defenders batty.
