“The Red Dragon” roared.

Pouring in a game-high 14 points Friday, Teagan Calkins spurred the Coupeville High School varsity girls’ basketball squad to its first win of the young season.

Holding host South Whidbey scoreless through the first period, the Wolves jumped out to a convincing lead, then kept adding to the advantage during a 33-18 Island rivalry triumph.

Now 1-1 on the season, the Wolves have a quick bounce back, hosting Clallum Bay Saturday in a game set to tip at 2:15 PM.

The CHS hoops stars should feel pretty good about themselves when they take the floor for that non-conference rumble, coming off a very-convincing win against their next-door neighbors.

The Wolves jumped out to a 12-0 lead after one frame, with Calkins, Lyla Stuurmans, and Mia Farris combining to scorch the net.

From there things were much more even, but Coupeville still came out on top in every quarter.

The lead blossomed to 19-6 at halftime, then went to 27-14 through three, with Calkins swishing a pair of three-balls en route to scoring all eight Wolf points in the third.

Her 14-point performance comes on the heels of dropping 13 in the season opener.

Farris (5), Lyla Stuurmans (4), Madison McMillan (2), Katie Marti (2), Danica Strong (2), Jada Heaton (2), and Tenley Stuurmans (2) also scored for Megan Richter’s squad.

Capri Anter made her varsity hoops debut for the Wolves, as well, while Baylie Kuschnereit and Juliette Wood paced South Whidbey with six points each.
