Davin Houston

Davin Houston is heating up.

The free-wheeling Coupeville High School sophomore, a fan favorite who always stops to scrimmage after games with elementary school hoops stars, went off for a second straight game Friday night.

By the time Daniel and Alia’s youngest was done, Houston had torched visiting Orcas Island for a season-high 20 points, sparking the Wolf JV boys’ basketball team to a come-from-behind 53-41 win.

The victory, coming in the Northwest 2B/1B League opener, lifts CHS to 2-2 on the season.

And the Wolves will try and keep the good times flowing when they turn right back around Saturday afternoon and host non-conference foe Morton-White Pass.

They’ll take the court led by Houston, who has rattled the rims for 37 points across the last two games, and Mahkai Myles, who singed the nets for a season-best 12 points Friday in support of his running mate.

Orcas came out strongly, jumping ahead 16-9 after one quarter of play, but the Wolves had an immediate response.

With Houston and Myles combining for 14 points in the second frame, CHS went on an 18-4 tear to claim the lead for good.

From there, the Wolves led 35-32 through three, then closed with a vengeance, bombing the Vikings 18-9 in the final period.

Easton Green (6), Malachi Somes (5), Liam Blas (4), Sage Arends (2), Carson Grove (2), and Riley Lawless (2) scored in support of Coupeville’s big two, while Kyle McCrimmon and Nathan Coxsey also saw floor time for coaches Craig Anderson and Jon Roberts.
