Do they even want to come home?

The Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball squad has played its first five games on the road this season, going from town to town terrorizing the locals.

Friday night the place to be was Friday Harbor, and once again the young Wolves were in fine form, drilling their hosts 64-50 in the conference opener for both teams.

The victory lifts Coupeville to 4-1 overall, 1-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, and pushes its win streak to four games.

The young guns were finally scheduled to play at home Saturday against South Whidbey, but the Falcons had to reschedule, so CHS will wait until next Tuesday, when Forks makes the trek to Cow Town.

Which might not be a bad thing as the JV was battling team-wide sickness Friday.

Not that it slowed the Wolves roll.

The first quarter was a tense affair, with Friday Harbor clinging to an 18-17 lead at the break.

That changed in a hurry, however, as seven different Wolves scored in the second frame, powering a game-changing 17-9 run.

Up 34-27 at the half, Coupeville poured in another 20 points in the third to build a 54-38 advantage, then gave the bench some major playing time in the fourth.

The Wolves got scoring from nine of 10 players in uniform, with Camden Glover (19) and Jack Porter (16) combining for 35 points.

Johnny Porter (9), Aiden O’Neill (6), Landon Roberts (5), Malachi Somes (3), Riley Lawless (2), Makai Myles (2), and Easton Green (2) also scored, while Davin Houston brought defensive heat.
