They’re coming home.
Having survived a road trip to the wilds of Sultan Wednesday, the Coupeville Middle School boys basketball teams now get to play three straight in front of their home fans.
The Wolves host Granite Falls Dec. 6 and Northshore Christian Academy Dec. 8, before a rematch against the Turks on Whidbey Dec. 13.
With more experience under their collective belts by then, Coupeville’s young hoops stars can hope for a better result the second time around against Sultan.
How Wednesday played out:
Varsity:
Coupeville got double-digits scoring from Chase Anderson and Camden Glover, but fell 51-36 to a notoriously-tough foe.
The loss drops CMS to 1-2 on the season.
After coming out a bit cold — racking up just 13 points in the first half — the Wolves went off for 14 in the third quarter alone.
Anderson sparked that run, netting three bombs from behind the three-point arc.
That was part of a 12-point afternoon for Coupeville’s leading scorer, while Glover was hot on his heels, pumping in 11.
Jayden McManus tossed in eight points — his first tallies of the season — while Aiden O’Neill rounded out the scoring attack by banking in five points.
Mahkai Myles, Riley Lawless, Malachi Somes, Easton Green, and Carson Grove also saw floor time for the Wolves.
JV:
Coupeville’s second unit is a work in progress, with few of its players having organized basketball experience, something Sultan took advantage of during a 56-6 win.
Lawless scored all four of his points in the first quarter, while Grove tossed in a bucket in the third.
Jonah Weyl, Matthew Kuzma, George Spear, Zach Blitch, Kenny Jacobsen, Dylan Robinett, Joshua Stockdale, Captain Teuscher, Ethan Walling, Jackson Waterbury, Wyatt Fitch-Marron, Max Ohme, and Myles also played.
