They saved their best for last.
Playing with just seven guys Tuesday, and facing a very-strong foe, the Coupeville High School boys C-Team basketball squad got stronger as the game wore on.
While the Wolves fell 70-33 to visiting South Whidbey, the scrappy seven pumped in almost 50% of their offense in the fourth quarter, winning the final frame.
It’s positives like that which point to a strong future for Patrick Upchurch’s very-raw team, which sits at 2-9 on the season.
The Wolves get two more chances to rumble this season, with a home game Friday against Granite Falls, then a trip to Sultan Feb. 4.
Tuesday night, South Whidbey held an early 13-6 edge after one quarter of play, then put the game in the W column with 23-3 and 19-8 runs across the next two frames.
Coupeville rallied, however, scrambling to outscore the Falcons 16-15 in the fourth behind scoring from five of its seven players.
Freshman Ty Hamilton went off for six points in the final quarter, part of his team-high 10 on the night.
Everyone in uniform scored for Coupeville, with Dominic Coffman and Alex Wasik backing Hamilton up with six points apiece.
Coen Killian (4), Nick Armstrong (3), Brayden Coatney (2), and Josh Upchurch (2) also scored, with Armstrong netting his points on a three-ball.
