Let the Wolves run wild.
Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball coach Hunter Smith did just that Saturday, unleashing his pack and letting them savage host Forks.
Blowing the game open with a big second-quarter run, and getting points from all nine guys in uniform, the Wolves turned an early deficit into a runaway 60-40 win.
The non-conference victory sends Coupeville’s young guns into the holidays with a 2-3 record.
The boys JV doesn’t return to action until a home game Jan. 6 against Orcas Island, in what will be the league opener.
Saturday’s bout in the town which gave the world both Ron Bagby and Twilight was a tense affair early, with Forks clinging to a 17-13 lead at the first break.
Camden Glover paced Coupeville in that opening frame, pouring in six points with strong work in the paint, but the Spartans held a slight edge.
Which promptly vanished in a hail of Wolf buckets, as CHS went on a game-busting 24-6 tear across the second eight-minute segment of the game.
The Porter twins led the attack, combining for 14 of their 20 points in the second quarter, with Johnny edging Jack 8-6 during the tear.
Up 37-23 at the half, Coupeville continued to pull away after the halftime break.
Wolf fab frosh Malachi Somes popped a third quarter three-ball and liked it so much, he came back to nail a second trey as CHS pushed its lead out to 19 points.
Coupeville got something from everyone, with the Porter boys leading the scoring attack with 10 points apiece.
Hunter Bronec (9), Aiden O’Neill (8), Glover (8), Somes (6), Chase Anderson (5), Yohannon Sandles (2), and Carson Field (2) also scored, with Sandles sinking a pair of free throws for his first high school points.
