The lone Wolf sliced through the water in the big city.

Visiting the King County Aquatic Center Saturday, with a sturdy support crew on hand to root for him, Coupeville High School junior Finn Price competed at the Kentridge Invitational.

The only CHS male swimmer to brave the pool once again, he trains and travels with South Whidbey competitors, and the group jumps to the mainland on a regular basis to work with Kamiak High School, which sits in Mukilteo.

Saturday Price earned points for Coupeville with his performance in the 200 free, where he tapped the wall in one minute, 54.46 seconds.

He also churned through the underwater world to claim a 52.19 performance in the 100 free.

Kamiak’s swim schedule is chock full of meets through Jan. 30, and then the Knights and their Falcon and Wolf companions head to the postseason.

While Coupeville is a 2B school, Price’s playoff path goes through the 2A classification, and he’ll be looking to return to the state meet, where he won the consolation finals in the 200 free as a sophomore.

Back on the bus.

Coupeville High School basketball teams play exclusively off the island during the coming week, with two trips planned.

The Wolf boys head off to Napavine Monday for a varsity-only rumble, before the varsity girls and JV boys join them Friday for a trek to Darrington.

The Loggers don’t have a JV girls’ team, so Coupeville’s second squad of female hoops stars has the week off from game action.

After that, there are five regular season games left on the schedule — three of those at home — with all four Wolf squads slated to see action.

As we move forward, here’s where things sit for varsity teams through Jan. 12:

 

Northwest League boys’ basketball:

School League Overall
La Conner 3-0 6-7
MV Christian 3-0 5-6
Coupeville 2-2 3-9
Concrete 1-2 5-7
Darrington 1-2 6-6
Orcas Island 1-2 3-8
Friday Harbor 0-3 0-11

 

Northwest League girls’ basketball:

School League Overall
Concrete 3-0 11-2
MV Christian 3-0 9-2
La Conner 2-0 5-7
Coupeville 2-2 5-7
Friday Harbor 0-2 1-10
Darrington 0-3 4-6
Orcas Island 0-3 7-6

They fought the good fight against a top-notch team.

While the Coupeville High School JV girls’ basketball squad ultimately fell 51-27 to visiting La Conner Friday, Wolf coach Scout Smith liked the effort and grit she saw from her players.

“We faced up against a well-organized and disciplined La Conner JV that ran the floor well,” she said.

“At times we were able to test our opponent and shift the game back in our favor, but ultimately La Conner played a strong 32 minutes of basketball.”

The loss drops Coupeville to 2-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 3-5 overall, with the JV’s next game set for Tuesday, Jan. 21 against Concrete.

“Overall, we continue to learn from every game we play and will look to implement changes in a week of practices before our next game,” Smith said.

Swing player Haylee Armstrong, limited to two quarters of JV action, poured in 15 points in her time on the floor to pace the Wolves.

Adeline Maynes (8), Ava Lucero (2), and Capri Anter (2) rounded out the scorers, with Marin Winger, Lexis Drake, Sydney Van Dyke, Jeann Nitta, Amelia Crowder, and Chelsi Stevens also seeing floor time.

Smith praised the effort of all her players, while giving a special shout-out to one defensive dynamo.

“Amelia did a great job locking up the middle of the paint defensively and really stepped up when she was called upon to help the team,” Smith said.
