Two wins from a title.

The Coupeville SWISH 6th grade girls’ basketball squad finished the regular season with a flourish Saturday and is now primed for postseason glory.

The Wolves didn’t get caught looking ahead, staying on target by drubbing Sedro-Woolley 16-10 to close out league play.

The victory lifted Coupeville to 9-1 in league play, 9-3 overall.

The squad, which is coached by Dustin Van Velkinburgh, with an assist from Trent Diamanti, now enters the postseason tourney as a #2 seed.

They’ll play at 10 AM next Saturday at Cascade Middle School in Sedro. Win that game and they advance to the title game at 1:30.

Middle school hoops gone with the wind!!

Port Townsend heard Daniel Olson was on his way, and they took the easiest way out.

Unable to face being shredded by the Coupeville Middle School marksman and his run ‘n gun teammates, the mainlanders fell back on weather conditions and postponed Thursday’s scheduled basketball games.

The Wolves were about to board the bus and head to the ferry when the news came in that they would no longer be going to Blue Heron Middle School.

Earlier in the afternoon, the National Weather Service issued a High Wind Warning to go from 2-10 PM today.

Southerly winds are expected to increase up to 40 mph late in the afternoon or early evening, with gusts of 60 mph possible.

With a very strong chance the Port Townsend/Coupeville ferry would revert back to being the Vomit Comet in the choppy water (or possibly be sidelined altogether in the wind), the decision was made not to potentially strand the Wolves on the other side.

No word yet on when, or if, the games will be made up.

Tip-off in style!!

   They call Koa Davison “Dead-Eye” because he doesn’t miss. Well, if they don’t, they should.

Wolf fans gets extra-creative.

   Jake Mitten, reviving the glory days of his uncle, former Wolf hoops legend Jason McFadyen.

Jered Brown splits the defense.

Come to a basketball game, go home with balloons.

Dakota Eck drops in a quick two.

   He slices. He dices. He has moves for days. He’s Sean Toomey-Stout and you can’t contain (or stop) him.

Opening night was a huge hit.

Coupeville Middle School kicked off its boys’ basketball season Monday with two wins — the 7th graders romped, the 8th graders pulled it out in OT — a full gym and even a roving photographer or two.

While we have yet to see what pics Junior Photo Bomb Queen Mollie Bailey might have snapped (I’m working on it), we can present to you some of John Fisken’s work.

To see more (and possibly purchase some, thereby helping fund college scholarships for CHS student/athletes) pop over to:

Matthew Kelley (10) will not be denied. The ball belongs to him.

The guys have first.

Middle school basketball officially kicks off next Monday (Nov. 30) when Coupeville hosts Chimacum.

Tip-off time is 3:15, with the 8th graders playing in the high school gym and the 7th graders holding court across the hallway in the middle school gym.

That will hold true for a 10-game schedule which has the CMS boys playing at home on Mondays and on the road Thursdays.

The boys wrap their season Jan. 14, then the Wolf girls will inherit the court starting Feb. 1.

As you mentally prepare for the home opener, here’s a look at the roster, which numbers 27 players including a number of guys who have been already making names for themselves at the SWISH level.

7th grade:

Tyson Bovee
Michael Breuer
Alex Jimenez
Matthew Kelley
James Mayne
Jake Mitten
Daniel Olson
Gage Powers
Ben Smith
Jacob Thurston

8th grade:

Trevor Bell
Jered Brown
Jaylen Nitta
Gabe Carlson
Koa Davison
Mason Grove
Dawson Houston
Aiden Juras
Gavin Knoblich
Aram Leyva
Jean Lund-Olsen
Andrew Martin
Omar Moralez
Jacobi Pacquette-Pilgrim
Johnathon Partida
Sean Toomey-Stout
Ulrik Wells

So many photos still out there…

As we enter that stretch between the end of fall sports and the start of winter sports, I’m going back through the mountains of pics shot during September and October, in an effort to retrieve some of those which never saw the light of day.

It wasn’t that they weren’t great shots, but they ended up being bumped at the time for one reason or another.

Now, we’re reclaiming them.

This time around, it’s Coupeville Middle School volleyball pics shot by travelin’ photo man John Fisken.
