Survive and thrive.
Winning four of five games, the Coupeville SWISH boys’ basketball team claimed 4th place this weekend in the 7th grade division at the 33rd annual Tulip Basketball Tournament.
The event, hosted by Skagit County Parks and Recreation, featured 30 games in the 7th grade division between Friday and Sunday.
The Wolves, coached by Geoff Kappes, opened with a 38-29 win over the Southside Bombers.
Coupeville kept the hot streak going by bouncing Friday Harbor 40-21, before absorbing its only loss in a 40-28 defeat to Mount Vernon, which finished 3rd in the tourney.
Bouncing right back, the Wolves closed their tourney run with a 44-37 win over Lakewood and a 47-37 defeat of the Bellingham Sonics.
“Arguably the best these kids have ever played,” said Wolf Mom Taylor Little. “Great coaching, great playing, and teamwork.
“Coach Kappes is amazing with them. He is an amazing leader and knows how to get kids set up to succeed.”

They made a positive impression on rival coaches.
Four Coupeville High School basketball players were honored Tuesday when Northwest 2B/1B League hoops gurus selected the All-Conference teams.
On the boys’ side of things, junior Chase Anderson was tabbed as a First-Team selection, while senior Hurlee Bronec earned Second-Team status.

Anderson led all Coupeville players, boy or girl, in scoring this season, rattling the rims for 339 points.
Bronec, in his first full season as a varsity hoops player, emerged as a tower of power in the paint, especially in the second half of the season and the playoffs.

For the girls, junior Teagan Calkins popped up as a Second-Team pick, with senior Mia Farris receiving Honorable Mention status.
Calkins developed a deadly eye from three-ball territory, and led the Wolves in scoring, topped by a 24-point performance against Concrete.
Farris was a lethal two-way player, providing a spark at both ends of the floor as a shot-maker and shot-denier.

Seniors Ruthie Rozema of Mount Vernon Christian and Brayden Pedroza of La Conner were tabbed as league MVPs, while Haley Cruz Winchell of Orcas Island and Lance Lopez of La Conner were named Coach of the Year winners.
The Orcas Island girls and MVC boys received the team sportsmanship awards.

Cow Town is a hoops hotbed.
Business on the prairie hardwood is booming, with the Coupeville Youth Basketball Association drawing in more and more players each season.
The teams pictured above and below represent just a fraction of the kids living the hoops life, while showcasing the talent coming up through the pipeline.
The 2nd/3rd grade squad in yellow went 8-0, while the 4th/5th grade team repping red was an impressive 8-1, with both netting titles.
Has anyone replaced the nets, cause these guys just burnt them down.
