They may never lose again.
Getting buckets from nine players Wednesday, the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball team roared past host La Conner, winning 51-30.
The fifth straight victory for the young Wolves, it lifts them to 2-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 6-3 overall.
Hunter Smith’s squad built an early lead against the Braves, before blowing things wide open with a dramatic third-quarter run.
Up 14-11 at the first break, Coupeville stretched the margin to 29-19 by the half, while saving its best for right after halftime.
Jack Porter and Aiden O’Neill both popped for five points in the third frame, including a three-ball apiece, as CHS torched La Conner 14-0.
From there, the Wolves strolled in for the win, running their road record to a pristine 4-0 on the season.
With Coupeville’s next game involving a bus trip to Mount Vernon Christian Friday, that bodes well for the young guns.

O’Neill paced the Wolves at La Conner, splashing home a pair of three-balls en route to a game-high 10 points.
Hunter Bronec (8), Malachi Somes (7), Jack Porter (7), Chase Anderson (6), Landon Roberts (4), Johnny Porter (4), Hurlee Bronec (3), and Camden Glover (2) also scored, with Carson Field and Yohannon Sandles seeing floor time.
Somes, Hunter Bronec, and Jack Porter all connected on three-balls, joining O’Neill in the long-distance club.
