The Wolves took a bite out of Spokane.

Playing in the state tournament this weekend, Coupeville’s 7th/8th grade boys’ SWISH basketball team split four games against top-level competition.

Cow Towns’s hardcourt warriors fell to Republic and Port Angeles in tightly contested affairs, while capturing victories against Tahoma and Hazen.

“Couldn’t be more proud of these boys,” said Wolf Mom RayLynn Ratcliff.

“They worked hard to earn the right to be here, they showed grit and determination, they played physical with poise and showed the heart of the Wolves!”

The Coupeville squad, coached by Curtis Ashby and Rick Beaman, goes 11 players deep.

 

The roster:

Colton Ashby
Xander Beaman
Luke Blas
Diesel Eck
Xander Flowers
Gracen Joiner
Remmy Nuqui
Kamden Ratcliff
River Simpson
Trey Stewart
Aiden Wheat

Tomorrow’s high school hoops stars.

They are the future of Coupeville hoops, but they get their first taste of the spotlight today.

The pics seen above and below, which come to us from Julie Wheat, showcase young girls and boys who hit the hardwood for the Coupeville Youth Basketball Association this winter.

Which from this group will grow up to become the next Logan Downes or Haylee Armstrong and become an All-League dynamo for the CHS Wolves?

Only time will tell.

Until then we can daydream that each and every one of these kids will hit 6-foot-9 and turn Cow Town into Title Town.

Or, at the very least, enjoy their time playing God’s Chosen Sport. That works, too.

The Hurricanes washed out Wednesday.

Both of the Mount Vernon Christian girls’ and boys’ basketball teams fell in loser-out games at the 2B state tourney in Spokane, eliminating the last chance for the Northwest 2B/1B League to win any hoops hardware this season.

The MVC girls, seeded #8, were toppled 52-34 by #9 Davenport, and went 0-2 at the big dance after previously losing 62-34 to top-seeded Napavine.

In a game which finished a bit later in the afternoon, the Hurricane boys, seeded #11, were bounced 60-51 by #3 Okanogan. They previously beat #14 Kittitas 66-47 in their state opener last week.

The other three NWL teams to advance to state — the La Conner, Orcas Island, and Concrete girls — all went one and done.

In 1B, Concrete got whacked 64-37 by Taholah, while in 2B La Conner fell 50-40 to Raymond-South Bend and Orcas Island was swatted 66-42 by Lake Roosevelt.
