Some nights you can’t escape the storm.

Tuesday was one of those moments for the Coupeville High School varsity girls’ basketball team, as host Mount Vernon Christian buried an astonishing 15 three-balls en route to a 78-19 win.

The road loss, coming to a team with realistic dreams of competing for a state title, drops the Wolves to 1-7 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 4-12 overall.

Scout Smith’s squad returns to action Friday, when it hosts La Conner, which at 7-1 in conference action, is a half-game back of MVC, which sits at 7-0.

After that Senior Night showdown, the Wolves close the regular season Feb. 6 with a road trip to Friday Harbor.

Tuesday’s clash got off to a brutal start for Coupeville, as the ‘Canes netted seven shots from behind the arc to nab a 33-8 lead heading into the first break.

From there MVC pushed the margin out to 52-15 at the half, then 68-15 after holding CHS scoreless in the third quarter.

Six of 10 Wolves did score on the night, with sophomore Tenley Stuurmans knocking down six points to pace the attack.

Arianna Cunningham (4), Adeline Maynes (3), Teagan Calkins (3), Haylee Armstrong (2), and Lexis Drake also tallied points, with Danica Strong, Capri Anter, Sydney Van Dyke, and Kennedy O’Neill rounding out the rotation.

Maynes, Cunningham, and Calkins each netted a three-ball for the Wolves.
