They shoot, you pay, everyone scores.

The Coupeville High School girls’ basketball team is conducting a fundraiser this season based on how many free throws the squad hits in varsity games.

You pledge a certain amount for each successful charity shot, then pay up at the end of the season, once all the numbers are totaled up.

All money raised goes to the Wolf program to help with equipment and supplies.

Fans can reach out to Coupeville coaches or players to get a donation sheet.

Or, if you want to get a jump start on helping out, you can also skip ahead and make a flat donation now by contacting CHS head coach Megan Richter at msmith@coupeville.k12.wa.us.

For more info, keep on scrolling down to the handy-dandy photo below.

Then, sit back and watch as the Wolves chase the kind of free-throw numbers put up by sharpshooters like Steph Curry and Larry Bird.

Every basketball journey begins with that first step, and first shot.

Today’s photos take us back a couple years, or a full decade, to capture some of today’s biggest Coupeville stars at the start of their hoops careers.

From Wolf stalwarts like Lyla Stuurmans and Cole White, plus that one kid who possibly vanished into the witness relocation program and was never seen again, this is where it all began.

The hardwood is once more alive with the sound of bouncing basketballs.

And clicking cameras.

Stone soars, Queens quieted

Things took a turn for the worse.

A day after romping to a big win, Makana Stone and her Norwegian professional women’s basketball squad fell in a match-up with the league’s best team.

Despite getting a double-double from their Coupeville grad, Ammerud wasn’t able to keep up with Ulriken, falling 88-60

The loss gives Stone and Co. a weekend split and leaves them sitting at 3-5 in the Kvinneligaen.

The former Wolf ace finished with 21 points, a game-high 13 rebounds, three assists, and four steals, while teammates Julia Heiden and Josephine Traberg added 12 and 11 points, respectively.

Ulriken gunner Stine Austgulen led all scorers with 32.

Sunday’s match-up was a close one for a quarter, with the top squad in the six-team Kvinneligaen holding on to a 24-22 lead at the first break.

Ulriken, now 6-1 on the season, busted the game open in the second frame, romping to a 23-9 advantage as it carried a 47-31 lead into the locker room.

From there Ammerud’s deficit ballooned out to 69-47 after three quarters of play.

The Queens get a chance at revenge next weekend, when they get a rematch with Ulriken on Sunday, Dec. 10.

Stone, in her third season of overseas pro ball, has racked up 178 points, 94 rebounds, 30 assists, 29 steals, and six blocks through the first eight games.
