Every game a lesson, every game a chance to build for the future.
While the win/loss record isn’t the best for the Coupeville High School girls’ JV basketball team, the effort and grit shown by the young Wolves is.
Friday night, squaring off with high-powered La Conner in the home finale, the Wolves were without leading scorer Ava Lucero, but still put up a solid fight in a 54-23 loss.
The defeat drops CHS to 0-7 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 2-10 overall, with one game left on the JV schedule.
That comes next Friday, Feb. 6, when Coupeville travels to Friday Harbor.
Trying to hold down the Braves, Alita Blouin’s squad had its best scoring efforts in the second and fourth quarters.
Trailing 15-3 at the first break, the Wolves powered up their attack behind Willow Leedy-Bonifas and Zayne Roos and popped for 11 points in the second frame.
La Conner was ultimately too much for its hosts, however, stretching the lead to 34-14 at the half and 46-17 through three quarters of play.
Roos paced the Wolves with a team-high seven points, with Leedy-Bonifas (6), Taylor Marrs (4), Cami Van Dyke (2), Anna Powers (2), and Finley Helm (2) also scoring.
Olivia Hall, Emma Cushman, Elizabeth Marshall, and Allie Powers rounded out the rotation for Coupeville.
