It got away from them.
A rough patch in the middle of Tuesday’s game at Mount Vernon Christian made life tough for the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball team.
Throw away the second and third quarters, and the Northwest 2B/1B League tilt was fairly close.
Add them back in, as scorekeepers are apt to do, and it spelled a 57-26 loss for the young Wolves.
The defeat drops CHS to 1-1 in league play, 2-3 overall, with a non-conference home game against Sultan set for Friday.
Tuesday’s trip to Mount Vernon did feature nine Wolves getting their name in the scoring column, though no one topped six points.
High man on this night was freshman Liam Blas, while Nathan Coxsey and Easton Green both added four.
Mahkai Myles, Jayden Little, Riley Lawless, Malachi Somes, Davin Houston, and Sage Arends filled out the attack with two points apiece, while Kyle McCrimmon, Carson Grove, and Khanor Jump also saw floor time.
MVC led 9-4 after one quarter of action, then used a 17-10 surge to push the halftime lead out to 26-14.
From there, a 20-6 tear by the Hurricanes in the third quarter was a killer for Coupeville.
