They scored big buckets, and big bucks.

Coupeville High School basketball teams won three of four games Friday night during their first home games in two weeks.

Making the night even sweeter, the Wolves, and their fans, raised nearly $1,000 for cancer research.

Taking part in their annual Coaches vs. Cancer event, this year renamed Coupeville vs. Cancer, CHS brought in $955 thanks to fundraising efforts.

The money was donated to the V Foundation for Cancer Research, which was founded by legendary college basketball coach Jim Valvano.

The net keeps poppin’, the points keep droppin’.

Coupeville High School basketball players have combined to ring up 2,475 points this season, stretching across varsity and JV contests.

So far, we have six players — four boys and two girls — having topped 100 points, with a bunch more coming up fast.

Now, those with access to more detailed computerized stats can track rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, even the number of offensive charges drawn while playing defense.

Me? I can count points, most days, and scoring is the lifeblood of basketball, so here you go.

Friday night will be an impactful one in the Coupeville High School gym.

Wolf basketball teams, playing at home for the first time in two weeks, host Friday Harbor in bouts which will have a big impact on potential playoff seeding for the varsity squads.

Things kick off with the girls’ varsity playing in the CHS gym, and the JV boys across the hallway in the middle school gym, with 4:00 tipoffs.

The boys’ varsity and girls JV teams inherit the floors at 5:30ish.

But the games are just a part of the events.

Youth cheerleaders perform at halftime of the varsity boys’ game, capping several weeks of preparation.

Throughout the afternoon and evening, the focus will be on the annual Coaches vs. Cancer fundraiser, renamed Coupeville vs. Cancer this year.

Raffle tickets ($1 or donation) will be sold, offering supporters a chance to win goodie baskets made by the CHS cheer team. There will be drawings at halftime of both varsity games.

T-shirts and silicone bracelets commemorating the night will be available for donation. Any extras after players and coaches receive theirs, will be offered for free.

There will also be a poster in the entranceway to the gym that fans can write on to honor those “that are fighting/have fought/have lost” the cancer battle, said CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith.

This year’s event is focusing on all forms of cancer, with pens representing all the cancer awareness ribbons available at the sign-in table.

All money raised will be donated to the V Foundation for Cancer Research, which was founded by legendary college basketball coach Jim Valvano.

“Here you go. We scored all the points in this ball.” (Bailey Thule photo)

Another game, another couple milestones.

Coupeville High School junior Nick Guay cracked the 100-point club Friday night, tossing in 13 points at Mount Vernon Christian.

With 95 and counting this campaign, and six from his sophomore season, he now has 101 points for his varsity days.

Meanwhile fellow junior Cole White banked in a team-high 15, pushing his career total to 132.

That puts him, for the moment, in a tie with Craig Anderson on the all-time CHS boys’ basketball scoring chart.

The middle school hoops coach is the father of freshman varsity player Chase Anderson, linking Cole White, whose own dad Greg scored 604 points back in the day, to both father and son.

Just two of many stories behind the stats, with three weeks of regular season games left to play.

She went down swinging, and shooting.

Coupeville grad Makana Stone singed the nets for 29 points Sunday in Norway, filling up the stat sheet as she and Baerum pushed undefeated Ulriken hard before falling 70-61.

The loss drops Baerum to 10-5, while Ulriken remains spotless at 14-0.

It wasn’t just points for Stone, as she also snagged 15 rebounds, pilfered five steals, and doled out three assists.

The former Wolf ace topped everyone on the floor in rebounds and steals, while her 29 points was one off the game-high 30 put up by Ulriken’s Stine Austgulen.

The undefeated league leaders opened the game with a 19-12 lead after one quarter, before Baerum trimmed things down to 35-29 at the half.

The third quarter proved deadly, however, as Ulriken went on a 19-8 surge, before Stone and Co. closed the game with a 24-16 tear in the fourth quarter.

Through 15 games in the Kvinneligaen, Coupeville’s progeny has racked up 287 points, 184 rebounds, 32 assists, 42 steals, and 10 blocks.

After two games in as many days this weekend, Stone and her Norwegian compatriots now have a two-week break, not returning to action until Sunday, Feb. 5 when they play Storm Ungdom.
