Easton Green could not be stopped by mortal hands.

Dropping three-balls that made his coaches sit back in their seat and marvel in quiet wonder Tuesday night, the Coupeville High School sophomore helped spark the JV boys’ squad to yet another win.

With 10 different players popping the ball through the net against visiting La Conner, the Wolves romped to a 61-22 win that set the gym ablaze.

Now 4-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 9-2 overall, the young guns have launched another winning streak with back-to-back victories after a loss at the buzzer to 3A Oak Harbor.

Next up? Mount Vernon Christian, which arrives in Cow Town Friday with the tough task of slowing the roll of a red-hot roster.

La Conner failed at that task, and miserably, as the Wolves romped to a 17-4 lead after one quarter of play and never slowed down.

Twin titans Johnny (6) and Jack Porter (5) combined for 11 of those opening points, then it was time for Green to go nuclear in the second quarter.

With a flick of his fingertips, he sent the ball skyward twice, both time splashing home three-balls as his defender’s shoulders slumped in the presence of such magnificent artistry.

“Easton was feeling it tonight!” said CHS coach Jon Roberts as he basked in the afterglow of the win.

Up 33-11 at the half, the Wolves pushed the lead out to 45-15 through three quarters, then coasted home, savoring the moment.

Johnny Porter paced Coupeville with a team-high 12 points, while Green knocked down 10, and Camden Glover caressed the glass for eight.

Jack Porter (6), Landon Roberts (5), Aiden O’Neill (5), Jayden McManus (5), Malachi Somes (4), Davin Houston (4), and Riley Lawless (2) also scored, while Makai Myles brought the defensive heat while on the floor.
