They unleashed the big guns.
With eight different players notching a bucket Wednesday, the Coupeville High School JV girls basketball team ran visiting Friday Harbor right off the floor.
Holding the visitors scoreless in the second half, the Wolves claimed a resounding 37-6 win on a night when their varsity counterparts were sidelined by Covid protocols.
The victory lifts the JV squad to 2-3 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 2-5 overall.
Coupeville came out hot and never looked back, building an 11-4 lead by the first break.
Desi Ramirez-Vasquez had the hot hand in the opening frame, dropping in six points, while Gwen Gustafson, Brooklyn Thayer, and Madison McMillan chipped in to help fuel the offensive explosion.
CHS stretched the margin to 20-6 by the half, then went into relentless lock-down mode after the break.
Friday Harbor couldn’t hit a bucket from anywhere in the second half, as the Wolves closed the game on a 17-0 tear.
Ramirez-Vasquez paced Coupeville, banking in a game-high 10 points to outscore Friday Harbor by herself.
She had plenty of help, however, with McMillan and Gustafson going off for seven points apiece.
Katie Marti (4), Thayer (3), Jada Heaton (2), Reese Wilkinson (2), and Mia Farris (2) also scored, with Edie Bittner, Kayla Arnold, and Skylar Parker chipping in on the defensive end for Greg Turcott’s team.
