They only got one chance to play, so they made dang sure to get the most out of it.

While some other Coupeville High School basketball teams are playing as many as three times this week, the Wolf JV girls got the short end of the stick.

Friday Harbor bailed on its game at the last second Wednesday, and The Bush School was upfront about only wanting to play a varsity game Saturday.

That left the Coupeville JV girls with one chance to impress, Friday night at home against Concrete, and they delivered.

And how.

Blasting the visiting Lions in every quarter, the Wolves romped to a 50-13 non-conference victory, lifting their record to a shiny 3-1 on the season.

CHS bolted out to a 13-2 lead after one quarter of hardwood action, sparked by the hot shooting of Alita Blouin, who popped for six quick points in the first frame.

From there, Megan Smith’s squad attacked from all angles, throwing up buckets at a dizzying pace.

From 13-2, Coupeville stretched the lead to 26-7 at the half, then 37-9 after three quarters.

The Wolves got big games from everyone on the roster, with eight different players scoring.

Gwen Gustafson, the only Wolf to score in every quarter, finished atop the stat sheet, popping the nets for a sweet 15 points, while Blouin was right behind her with 12.

Abby Mulholland (7), Ella Colwell (6), Jessenia Camarena (4), Natalie Castano (3), Savana Allen (2), and Ryanne Knoblich (1) also scored.

That pack got on-court help from Samantha Streitler, Claire Mayne, and Morgan Stevens, and off-court support from Lily Leedy and Heidi Meyers.

While the young Wolves will sit out Saturday’s action, they have a full week ahead, with games against Sultan, Port Townsend, and Nooksack Valley before heading into winter break.
