Another day, another city.

The Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball teams survived another road trip Tuesday, this one coming to Everett to play Northshore Christian Academy.

Now, the Wolves get to break a two-week-plus drought by staying home, sweet home for their next three clashes, beginning with a royal rumble Thursday against King’s.

After that, CMS hosts Lakewood Mar. 3 and Sultan Mar. 9, before venturing back out on the bus for the season’s final two adventures at South Whidbey and Granite Falls.

How Tuesday played out:

Level 1:

Coupeville’s top squad captured its first win of the season, holding off NCA 27-20 to get to 1-2 on the campaign.

The Wolves eased out to a 6-4 lead through one quarter of action, before stretching the halftime margin to 13-8.

While its hosts sliced the deficit down to 19-17 heading into the fourth frame, CMS came up big across the final seven minutes to seal the deal.

Anna Powers popped for four of her game-high nine points in the final quarter to provide a nice spark for the Wolves.

Anna Powers leads a breakaway.

Laurel Crowder banked in eight in support of Powers, with Kaleigha Millison (4), Cami Van Dyke (4), and Zayne Roos (2) rounding out the scorers.

Aubrey Flowers, Finley Helm, Claire Lachnit, Ava Alford, and Sabrina Judnich also saw floor time for the victorious Wolves.

Level 2:

Coupeville jumped out to an early lead but then stalled out on offense in the second half, resulting in a narrow 22-15 loss.

The Wolves, who sit at 0-3 on the season, trailed 6-4 at the first break, before claiming an 11-8 lead at the half thanks to some big buckets from Annabelle Cundiff.

The third and fourth quarters didn’t go quite as well, with CMS limited to just a single bucket in each frame.

Cundiff and Daisy Leedy-Bonifas paced the Wolves with four points each, with Halle Black (2), Alford (2), Juniper Dotson (2), and Arianna Vinson (1) also notching points.

Amira Anunciado, Nikolette Dunham, Addison Jacobson, Ellie Callahan, Millie Somes, Reagan Green, Judnich, and Autumn Hunt rounded out the rotation.

Level 3:

Northshore Christian only goes two teams deep, so Coupeville’s third squad didn’t get a chance to thunk its rivals.
