It was a clean sweep.
Despite missing several key players, the Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball squads hit the road with a vengeance Tuesday, sweeping a pair of games from Northshore Christian Academy.
The victories were crafted with solid team-wide play and sparked by offensive explosions from a pair of promising young snipers.
How the day played out:
Level 1:
Adie Maynes went bonkers.
After scoring a single bucket across the first two games of the season, the CMS 8th grader erupted for a game-high 23 in Everett, outscoring her rivals by herself.
The Wolves top squad recorded its first win of the campaign, heading home with a lopsided 41-18 win.
Five different Coupeville players scored, but it was Maynes who was the … main attraction.
She rattled home six points in the opening frame, went off for eight more in both the second and third quarters, then closed her day with a free throw in the fourth.
Lillian Ketterling knocked down six points to back up Maynes, with Olivia Hall, Sydney Van Dyke, and Ava Lucero all banking in four to round things out.
Tamsin Ward, Marin Winger, Laken Simpson, Chelsi Stevens, and Taylor Marrs rounded out the highly efficient roster.
Lillian Ketterling eyeballs the defense.
Level 2:
Another romp, as Kennedy O’Neill scorched the nets for a team-best 16 points during a 28-6 blowout.
The victory lifts the Wolves to 2-1 on the season.
Like Maynes, O’Neill tallied points in every frame, but she saved her biggest burst for last.
After going for two, four, and three across the first three quarters, she rippled the nets for seven more to close out the game.
Amelia Crowder and Allison Powers rang up four points apiece, with Isabella de Souza Oliveira Mc Fetridge (2), Sage Stavros (1), and Ward (1) also scoring.
Sophia Batterman, Winger, and Elizabeth Marshall also saw floor time for the Wolves.
Level 3:
Northshore is the only Cascade League school not to field a third squad, so the Wolves stayed home and played an intra-squad scrimmage against Coupeville’s #4 team.
Up next:
Three straight home games are on tap, with CMS welcoming King’s (Feb. 22), Lakewood (Feb. 27), and Sultan (Feb. 29) to Whidbey in the near future.
