Coupeville Sports

As Coupeville High School prepares to celebrate 50 years of girls’ basketball, one of its brightest stars from the past is currently tearing up the hardwood in Florida.

Savina Wells, who played two years of varsity hoops for the Wolves, and still sits 88th on the career scoring chart, is currently a junior in Fernandina Beach.

She leads the Pirates in scoring (12.8 points a night), rebounds (9.6), and blocked shots (2.2), as well as snatching a steal per game.

Fernandina Beach is 4-5 on the season and hits the mid-point of a 20-game schedule with a clash Thursday against Yulee.

Savina, following in the footsteps of older siblings Ulrik and Izzy, attended Coupeville schools and excelled in multiple sports, from softball to track and field.

The youngest of Lyle and Katy’s children made her varsity basketball debut as an 8th grader, during a Covid-shortened season.

Savina poured in 59 points that year, placing her #2 on the team, then came back around to score 74 as a freshman.

With 133 points in the books, her Coupeville numbers were frozen after a family move to the Sunshine State.

Though, hope never dies for some bloggers.

I mean, if Caleb Meyer came back around for his senior season, there’s always a chance Savina returns to Washington state for her final high school campaign.

Right?? Hello?? Is this thing on??

Anyways…

Back in reality, barring a miracle return, the Wells family combined to put up 489 points during their Coupeville days.

Izzy led the way with 204, while Ulrik banged home 152 before the duo graduated from CHS.
