The time off didn’t dull her game.

Playing for the first time in 17 days, Coupeville grad Makana Stone threw down a double-double Tuesday, lifting her Norwegian pro basketball team to a resounding win.

Baerum went up early on Ullern, then never let its foes back in the game, romping to a 60-47 victory.

With the victory, Stone and Co. get to 8-2 on the season, and sit solidly in second place in the seven-team Kvinneligaen.

Baerum jumped out to a 20-10 lead at the end of the first quarter Tuesday, before stretching the lead to 32-20 by halftime.

Ullern staged its one semi-comeback in the third frame, using a 16-12 run to cut the margin back to single digits, but Stone and associates closed the game with a 16-11 surge in the fourth quarter.

The former Coupeville standout filled up the stat sheet, banking in 20 points, snatching 10 rebounds, doling out four assists, pilfering seven steals, and recording two blocked shots.

Along the way, Stone rippled the nets for a trio of three-balls, her season-best performance from behind the arc.

Baerum teammate Abbey Hoff provided able support, knocking down six treys of her own en route to a game-high 24 points.

Stone, who is in her second season of pro ball after playing in England as a rookie, has rung up 189 points, 114 rebounds, 18 assists, 29 steals, and six blocks through her first 10 games in Norway.

Fresh off the win, Baerum will go right back into another winter break, not playing again until Jan. 4, when it squares off with Asker.

Time to rest up.

Coming off a period of playing three games in four days, Coupeville High School basketball teams are now off for a week-plus.

Both Wolf varsity squads return to action with appearances at Eastern Washington tournaments Dec. 27-28, while JV teams are idle until the first week of the new year.

The down time will give Coupeville players a chance to deal with a few nagging, low-key injuries, while coaches continue to tweak their game plans.

As we wait for the return of live action, a look at where Northwest 2B/1B League schools sit through games of Dec. 17:

Coupeville Middle School basketball stars applaud the idea you might volunteer to help run the Hoopaholics camp next summer. (Photo by JohnsPhotos.net)

It’s the basketball circle of life.

Help out with behind the scenes work at next summer’s Hoopaholics camp, and it will come back to benefit Coupeville basketball programs.

The camp, which brings numerous adult players to Whidbey Island, including U-Dub and NBA legend Steve Hawes, is in its 34th year of existence.

Participants stay at Camp Casey, with games held at the Coupeville High School gym during Father’s Day weekend June 16-18, 2023.

Volunteers are needed to help run the score board, do food prep, and set up.

Donations of cookies, snack mixes, and other homemade or store-bought goodies is also a priority.

Hoopaholics has a strong relationship with CHS basketball, and always makes a financial donation back to aid the Wolf hoops programs.

To volunteer, contact Amy Briscoe at (360) 632-2229.

Lyla “The Franchise” Stuurmans hangs out with mom Sarah.

Now they’re old school. CHS grads (l to r) Logan Martin, Hawthorne Wolfe, Audrianna Shaw, and Kylie Van Velkinburgh catch up.

Fred and Susan Farris keep an eye on daughter Mia as she wrecks folks out on the hardwood.

Even retired, Mia Littlejohn is good for a quick 20 points if necessary.

Wolf Moms Corinn Parker (sweater) and Morgan White keep a watchful eye on the Wrecking Crew, AKA the Sherman boys.

The student section, ready to go crazy.

The very talented future of Wolf athletics.
