Hit pause, marinate in moment

The CHS girls are in a second-place tie heading into the holidays.

And now, a break.

The Coupeville High School varsity basketball teams reached the holiday shutdown in different fashion, but both are sitting pretty in the standings.

The Wolf boys had their final two games of 2021 — including a first-place battle with Mount Vernon Christian — postponed due to Covid concerns.

Meanwhile, the CHS girls did make it on to the court to play MVC, but also saw a non-conference duel with South Whidbey preempted.

All of the missing games are expected to be rescheduled.

Unless those contests land earlier on an altered schedule than expected, neither Wolf squad will be back on the floor in game action until Jan. 4.

For now, Coupeville can prep for 2022 knowing its boys are in first-place in the Northwest 2B/1B League, and its girls are just a game off of the same status.

Bring on the eggnog, and marinate in the moment.

 

Where things stand, through games of Dec. 18:

 

Northwest League boys basketball:

School League Overall
Coupeville 3-0 5-0
MV Christian 3-0 6-1

Scoring is the name of the game.

Rebounds, defensive hustle, setting screens — all the little things which help a basketball team win.

But ultimately, it’s the side with the most points on the scoreboard that wins the contest.

With that in mind, we take a gander at season-to-date scoring stats for Coupeville High School players.

They shoot, they score.

The Coupeville High School basketball teams combined to collect 228 donations during a holiday gift drive.

Everything will now be donated to the Holiday Help House, which will disperse gifts to families in Coupeville and Oak Harbor.

“It’s a great accomplishment, and shows how much our kids truly care for our community!,” said CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith.

With cookies on the line, the Wolf girls pulled out the win 124-104.

“In a close competition — and after much wailing and moaning and demand of multiple recounts — the girls came out on top!,” Smith said.

“Not sure what kind of cookies they’ll receive from the boys — raisin cookies is what I heard — but, if you see any of our basketball players, give them a hardy high-five and some kudos for a job well done!”

630 points and counting.

Coupeville High School’s four basketball teams are filling up the net in the early going, with five different Wolves averaging double digits.

As we head into a busy week — three varsity games and two JV clashes — a look at individual scoring stats.

While also remembering hauling down rebounds, making smart passes, and taking charges are often just as valuable for team success.
