The summer hoops grind continues.

Coupeville High School boys’ basketball players traveled North earlier this week to take part in the Blaine Border Bash.

While there the Wolves squared off with teams from Stanwood, Burlington-Edison, Blaine, and Squalicum.

“Played really tough against some good squads!” said CHS coach Brad Sherman.

Take your basketball and go East, young man.

Summer is prime time for looking ahead, and seeing what next season’s roster might look like.

So that’s what Coupeville High School coaches did this week, as they scooped up a collection of players and headed off to the other side of the state for the Connell Shootout.

While spending three days in Eastern Washington, Wolf boys’ hoops stars played eight games in a 48-hour span.

Foes included Willapa Valley, Columbia Burbank, Warden, East Valley, Oroville, Othello, Warden, and the host school.

As he headed back to Whidbey, still abuzz after the experience, CHS coach Brad Sherman was philosophical.

“Some wins, some losses, a lot of growth as a team,” he said “Exactly what you want out of summer hoops.”

Another season in the books.

The Coupeville High School boys’ basketball program wrapped its eighth season under Brad Sherman, and its 108th overall, with an awards banquet Friday night.

Manager David Somes took home the Heart of Service Award, while Hunter Bronec, Landon Roberts, and Chase Anderson were honored as varsity captains.

Riley Lawless received kudos for his work as JV captain as well.

Hunter Bronec, Roberts, Jack Porter, Hurlee Bronec, Johnny Porter, and Somes were hailed for being with the program all four years of their high school careers, with two Wolves making the All-League team.

Junior Chase Anderson was a First Team selection by Northwest 2B/1B League coaches, while Hurlee Bronec was tabbed to the Second Team.

The battle never ends.

The future of boys’ basketball in Coupeville is a bright one.

Two Wolf teams wrapped up an eight-week run in the Skagit County Parks and Rec SWISH League Saturday, with both squads claiming 3rd place finishes in the postseason tourney.

Coupeville’s 5th graders also won the regular-season crown, blitzing to a 7-1 record.

Meanwhile, the 6th/7th grade squad, which pulls five players from each grade, went 4-4 in regular season action.

Both teams showed great growth while squaring off with the mainlanders, something which bodes well for the future.

“For most of these players, this is their third season in this league,” Coupeville coach RayLynn Ratcliff said. “Us coaches are so proud of the work they’ve put in!

“Today they played their hearts out,” she added. “Now they’ll be working hard to compete in tournaments in the off season to continue to grow and develop.”

The rosters:

 

6th/7th grade:

Colton Ashby
Xander Beaman
Diesel Eck
Gracen Joiner
Calvin Kappes
Jonathan Kappes
Jonah Meek
Les Queen
Kamden Ratcliff
River Simpson

The players come and go, but the numbers hunt is eternal.

Coupeville High School boys’ basketball has played 108 varsity seasons, having capped the most-recent campaign with a narrow playoff loss to Auburn Adventist Academy Thursday night.

Now, the seniors depart, with their point totals frozen in time, while those with eligibility left can begin to plan for next season.

Junior Chase Anderson heads into the offseason sitting at #36 on the all-time scoring chart, having reached 599 points after three seasons on the hardwood.

Will he make a run for the top 10 as a senior? Only time will tell.

For now, here’s where things sit through today, with active players listed in bold.

With the usual caveat — with some of the oldest scorebooks lost to time, we will likely never have a truly complete tally.

But what’s missing — with the exception of Tom Sahli’s sophomore season in 1951-1952 — is from the days of low-scoring games and would not greatly change the upper part of the chart.

So, there’s that.
