Wolf boys hit a bump in the road

Dang those midrange jumpers.

Despite dominating from behind the three-point arc and at the free throw line Friday, the Coupeville High School varsity boys’ basketball team couldn’t overcome a hail of old school field goals and lost a crucial one.

Falling 51-41 at Friday Harbor in the regular season finale, the Wolves slip to 4-6 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 7-11 overall and will likely open the playoffs on the road.

Coupeville won’t know its opening foe or the location until Saturday evening, when the bracket for the double-elimination District 1/2 tourney is released.

For now, Brad Sherman’s squad will have 24 or so hours to reflect on a game where it shot out to an early lead, before hitting some rough spots on offense down the stretch.

With Camden Glover splashing home a pair of three-balls in the early moments, CHS jumped out to a 17-12 lead at the first break and was still up 22-16 midway through the second frame.

But Friday Harbor made its move right before the halftime buzzer, hitting a field goal to snap a 27-27 tie.

From there the Wolverines pulled away in the second half, using a 13-7 run in the third to push the advantage to 42-34 and never giving back the lead over the game’s final 16 minutes.

While Coupeville ultimately lost on the scoreboard, it did win the three-ball battle 6-2, while hitting 11 of 18 free throws while Friday Harbor was just 1-4 at the charity stripe.

Chase Anderson popped for a game-high 17 points to pace the Wolves, with Camden Glover (14), Davin Houston (8), and Malachi Somes (2) also getting their names in the book.

Carson Grove, Liam Blas, Aiden O’Neill, and Riley Lawless also saw floor time for CHS.

Two Wolves hit personal milestones in the game with Houston cracking the 100-point club — he has 103 and counting — and Anderson moving from #9 to #8 on the Wolf boys career scoring chart.

The Coupeville senior has tallied 920 points and passes ’90s star Pete Petrov (917) with his performance on Friday Harbor.
