CMS boys’ hoops drops schedule

The hardwood is about to heat up.

Basketball season approaches, with the first day of practice for Coupeville Middle School boys set to tip-off October 26, and games slated to start in less than a month.

Alex Evans and Kassie O’Neil will be on the bench as coaches for the Wolves, who play an eight-game schedule against Cascade League foes.

It’s a rather extreme schedule as schedules go, with three straight home clashes to begin, followed by four straight trips on the bus, then a home finale against next-door rival South Whidbey.

On Tuesdays, Level 1 (varsity) will play first, followed by 2 and 3, while on Wednesday or Thursday it goes in reverse, with a 3-2-1 layout.

The CMS girls take the floor after the boys, with their season beginning in late January, so we’ll stash their schedule away for now and circle back to discuss that later.

For now, here’s the plan for the Wolf boys:

 

Tue-Nov. 10 — Sultan (3:15)
Thur-Nov. 12 — King’s (3:15)
Tues-Nov. 17 — Northshore Christian Academy (3:15)
Thur-Nov. 19 — @ Granite Falls (3:15)
Tue-Dec. 1 — @ South Whidbey (3:30)
Wed-Dec. 2 — @ Lakewood (3:15)
Tue-Dec. 8 — @ Sultan (3:15)
Tue-Dec. 15 — South Whidbey (3:15)

Big challenge, strong effort

She held her own on the big stage.

Playing in the 29th annual Washington/N. Idaho All-State girls’ basketball games Saturday in Spokane, Coupeville hoops star Haylee Armstrong did all the important little things.

She scrambled back on defense, poking balls away from rivals.

Set up brand-new teammates with passes.

Always — and I mean always — made a point to slap hands with girls from far-flung schools, offer encouragement or congratulations as her undermanned West squad fell 97-50 to a high-powered East team in the 2B/1B game.

Though both sides had 12 players selected to the game, four of the West players were MIA, including Armstrong’s Northwest League mate, Vera Schoultz of Friday Harbor, who was out with an injury.

That allowed the East to swap out five players at a time, while the West bench was much emptier.

Not everyone on this West roster was in uniform.

Armstrong hit the floor two minutes into the 40-minute contest, and saw plenty of floor time, part of a roster which included players from schools such as Taholah, Ocosta, Lopez Island, Naselle, and Toledo.

The East, which had a pronounced advantage on the boards, slipped out to a 17-8 lead through one quarter, then turned up the heat progressively.

The team in the red uniforms stretched its advantage to 41-20 at the half and 66-42 through three quarters, before raining down 31 fourth-quarter points in a bid to crack triple digits.

Armstrong stayed busy at halftime as well, taking part in a three-point shooting contest.

While she didn’t score in Saturday’s game, the senior-to-be has been a bucket-getter in her CHS career.

After rattling the rim for 207 points as a junior, Armstrong has 305 career points and counting heading into her final campaign.

That puts her #39 all-time on the CHS girls’ scoring chart, which covers 1974-2026.

The Haylee Armstrong Fan Club snags a photo op with their hoops hero.

The next generation of Wolf hoops stars are here and ready to claim the court.

Cow Town children in grades 1-5 put in three days of work this past week as the Coupeville Youth Basketball Association held a skills camp which wrapped Thursday.

“They worked hard, had fun, showed lots of growth, brought amazing attitudes, encouraged each other, and started the summer in the gym with some hoops!” said CHS varsity boys’ basketball coach Brad Sherman.

“A huge thank you to all of the volunteer coaches who helped make this possible!

“Especially fun to see our CHS and even some CMS athletes volunteering their time to run stations and work with Coupeville youth.”

Middle school hoops camp draws big interest

Posted in Basketball, tagged , , , on June 20, 2026| Leave a Comment »

“It was a great week and a great way to kick off the summer!”

Coupeville High School boys’ basketball guru Brad Sherman emerged from the Summer Tipoff Hoops Camp energized and confident in the future of his program.

The camp brought in middle school players and gave them a chance to work with current CHS and CMS coaches, as well as current and former high school players.

Emphasis was put on “fundamental skills, competitive hoops, team and program culture work, goal setting, and a lot of fun being in the gym together.”

“The boys worked hard and brought a lot of energy!” Sherman said.
