They’re rock stars in crunch time.
Fighting from behind Friday, the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball team used a dynamic fourth quarter run to seal a home win against La Conner.
Finishing on a torrid 18-11 tear across the final eight minutes, the Wolves upended the Braves 41-38 to claim the only CHS victory of the night.
Now 3-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 4-4 overall, the young guns will be back in action next Friday, Jan. 17, when they travel to the wilds of Darrington.
The bout with La Conner was a close one all night, with neither team able to pull away.
The game was knotted at 10-10 at the first break, with La Conner building small leads through two (17-15) and three (27-23) quarters of play.
The final frame was a different story, however, with Khanor Jump, Davin Houston, Malachi Somes, and Mahkai Myles combining to outscore La Conner down the stretch.
Jump finished with a team high 10 points, while Liam Blas (6), Myles (6), Houston (5), Somes (5), Sage Arends (4), Easton Green (3), and Riley Lawless (2) rounded out the offensive attack for the Wolves.
Nathan Coxsey, Carson Grove, and Kyle McCrimmon also saw floor time in the conference win.
