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.

No trophies for you!

Four Northwest 2B/1B League basketball teams advanced to the state tournament this season, but none of them will be bringing a trophy home.

Which is not surprising, considering they combined to go 1-6 at the big dance.

Both the La Conner and Mount Vernon Christian boys’ hoops squads were ushered out the side door after a single game, with the former falling 69-51 to Napavine and the latter being bounced 60-44 by Liberty Bell.

On the girls’ side of things, La Conner was annihilated 66-37 by Mabton, while the MVC girls were the lone NWL team to get more than one game.

The Hurricanes, who were seeded #6, lost their opener 51-28 to Brewster, but were seeded high enough to get a second crack at the tourney.

The MVC girls initially stayed alive with a 50-41 win over Columbia, before falling 50-29 to Reardan and 49-35 to Liberty (Spangle), which eliminated them a game shy of playing for a trophy.

While that stings, things could be worse.

The Rainier girls, sitting at 20-3, were ranked #1 heading into the 2B state tourney, then promptly were upset by #8 Northwest Christian (Colbert) and #9 Mabton, bringing an unceremonious end to their run.
