Too strong, too fast, too good

Pick your (Porter) poison.

Powered by 28 points from the twin titans, Jack and Johnny, plus another 21 from their brother from another mother, Camden Glover, the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball team scorched another foe Friday night.

The deer in the headlights this time was visiting Mount Vernon Christian, which fell, and fell hard, to the rampaging Wolves.

Starting hot, and closing hotter, Coupeville ran away with a 65-47 win, stretching their record to 5-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 10-2 overall.

The only thing which can slow down the Wolf JV is the schedule maker, as neither of Coupeville’s next two varsity opponents bring a second squad to Cow Town with them.

That means the JV is off until South Whidbey arrives at the CHS gym Jan. 24.

While they wait for someone, anyone, to try and stand up to them, the Wolf young guns can bask in another stellar performance.

CHS jumped out to a 17-12 lead after one quarter of play, with Glover thumping down low for seven points, and both Porter boys banking in four.

From there, the Wolves kept the lead intact, heading into the locker room up 29-24, then holding on to a 43-40 advantage entering the fourth quarter.

With Glover back on the floor and pouring in points after battling foul trouble in the mid section of the game, Coupeville closed on a 22-7 tear.

Hitting from all angles, with Glover, Jack Porter, and Malachi Somes knocking down three-balls from deep, the Wolves spread out the offensive love.

Glover led the way with 21, while Johnny Porter tickled the twines for 16 while playing strongly at both ends of the floor.

“Johnny had his best game this year,” said CHS coach Jon Roberts. “Consistently there in the post and cleaning up garbage.

“I wish I knew his assist numbers. He fed Cam all night.”

Jack Porter gave Coupeville a third player in double digits, kissing the glass for 12 points, while Somes (6), Riley Lawless (4), Landon Roberts (3), Aiden O’Neill (2), and Davin Houston (1) joined the offensive attack.

Easton Green and Makai Myles also saw floor time for the Wolves.
