The legends of tomorrow hitting the hardwood today.

Your basketball education starts here.

Coupeville High School coaches and players will once again run a winter youth basketball program aimed at local students in K-6.

The program, which includes five weeks of instruction, games, fun, and a collectable t-shirt, kicks off in January and is open to Coupeville School District students.

Action hits the hardwood each Saturday between Jan. 11 and Feb. 8.

K-1 students play from 9:30-11 AM at the elementary school, while grades 2-6 go from 9-11 at the high school and middle school gyms.

Cost is $20 per student.

Registration needs to be done online by Jan. 2, with payment done in person at check-in Jan. 11.

If you have any questions, contact CHS boys basketball coach Brad Sherman at bsherman@coupeville.k12.wa.us or CHS girls hoops guru Scott Fox at sfox@coupeville.k12.wa.us.

Tell me where we stand

The race is starting to take shape.

Not a single North Sound Conference basketball team has played a league contest yet, but that’s about to change. At least a little bit.

Four of the six girls squads square off for the first time Tuesday, with Coupeville traveling to Sultan, and South Whidbey visiting Bothell to play Cedar Park Christian.

Meanwhile, on the boys side of the floor, Sultan and Granite Falls vie Tuesday, with King’s and CPC clashing Wednesday.

That’s just the tip of what will be a very busy week, as tons o’ non-conference action fills the schedule.

All total, there are 15 boys games and 11 girls contests involving NSC teams between Monday and Saturday of this week.

For Coupeville, both of its teams have three games to play, with two foes being the same.

The Wolf girls face Sultan, then travel to Port Townsend Thursday and host Nooksack Valley Saturday.

For the CHS boys, it’s three straight home games, with Chimacum, Port Townsend, and Nooksack on the books Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, respectively.

As we get ready for the ball to hit the net (repeatedly), a look at where teams currently sit on the ol’ win/loss chart:

 

North Sound Conference girls basketball:

School League Overall
Coupeville 0-0 5-1
CPC-Bothell 0-0 3-3
Granite Falls 0-0 1-4
King’s 0-0 3-2
South Whidbey 0-0 2-3
Sultan 0-0 1-4

Stone, Whitman on a roll

They coasted into winter break.

Cruising along nicely in the second half Saturday night, the Whitman College women’s basketball team rolled to a 72-49 victory over visiting Buena Vista University.

Led by Coupeville’s Makana Stone, who banked in eight points and snatched eight rebounds in limited action, the Blues improved to 8-1 heading into a 19-day break.

Whitman doesn’t play again until Jan. 3, when it kicks off the 16-game Northwest Conference schedule with a home game against the University of Puget Sound.

Saturday night the Blues were playing their second, and final game, in the annual Kim Evanger Raney Memorial Classic, which honors a former Whitman hoops star who died of injuries from a 2007 cycling accident.

Coming off of a 35-point blowout of the University of Maine at Fort Kent a night before, Whitman let Buena Vista hang around for a half.

Up 15-13 after one quarter, then 31-26 at the half, the Blues kicked things into overdrive after halftime, pouring in 26 points in a torrid third quarter.

With the game in hand, Whitman went deep on its bench, giving 15 players floor time, and limiting its starters a bit.

Stone played a slim 21 minutes, but also tossed in a blocked shot and assist to go with her eight and eight.

Mady Burdett led Whitman with 12 points, while Kaylie McCracken popped for 11, and Natalie Whitesel made the nets jump for 10.

On the season, Stone sits with 137 points, 69 rebounds, 13 assists, 11 steals, and 11 blocks.

She’s shooting 55-95 (57.8%) from the floor and 25-30 (83.3%) at the free throw line.

For stat hounds out there, the former Wolf star reached two career milestones Saturday, making her 75th collegiate start (she’s played in 92 games) and collecting her 50th block.

Stone reaches milestone, Blues grab win

First they honored her, then she impressed them some more.

Coupeville’s Makana Stone was hailed Friday for becoming just the ninth player in Whitman College women’s basketball history to top 1,000 career points, then went out and tossed 12 more onto the stat sheet.

Paced by their senior star, who added 11 rebounds to post another double-double, the Blues blitzed the University of Maine at Fort Kent 84-49, kicking off the 2019 Kim Evanger Raney Classic, and their home schedule.

With the non-conference win, Whitman improves to 7-1 headed into a Saturday match-up with Buena Vista University, which sits at 1-8 on the season.

After that game, Stone and the Blues will be off for nearly three weeks, not playing again until Jan. 3, when they begin Northwest Conference play against the University of Puget Sound.

Whitman began the season with a seven-game road trip, so Friday night was the first chance for its fans to fill the Sherwood Athletic Center.

Those in attendance got to see Stone, who cracked 1,000 points in a win over Whittier College, continue to move up the career scoring chart.

Friday night she passed Mary Kincaid, who scored 1,056 between 1982-1986.

Now #7 all-time with 1,057, the former Wolf ace is hot on the heels of #6 Casey Poe (1,145), who she played alongside during her first two seasons at Whitman.

Katie Rubenser, a star from 1990-1994, is #1 with 1,693 points, and was in attendance Friday for Stone’s ceremony.

Bouncing back from its only loss of the year, which came last week to highly-ranked Mary Hardin-Baylor, Whitman took control early Friday and never let go of the lead.

Up 25-12 after one quarter of play, the Blues surged to a 52-25 lead at the half, then took their feet off the gas pedal a bit and coasted home for the win.

Stone played a tidy 21 minutes, adding two blocked shots and an assist to her 12 points and 11 boards.

Four different Whitman players scored in double figures, led by Kaelan Shamseldin, who tallied a team-high 14 points.

On the season, Stone has 129 points, 61 rebounds, 12 assists, 11 steals, and 10 blocks.

She’s shooting 52-89 (58.4%) from the floor and 23-28 (82.1%) at the free throw line.
