Wolf grads sizzle on college courts!!

Two states, two very different results.

Coupeville grads Makana Stone and Kailey Kellner both hit the college hardwood Saturday, but one of their teams had a much better night.

Playing in Oregon, Stone and Whitman College crushed host Pacific University 76-52, while Kellner and D’Youville College came out on the short end in Pennsylvania, falling 90-67 to Penn State-Altoona.

Stone:

The Blues are ranked #2 in the most-recent NCAA D-III poll, and they had little trouble with their hosts.

Stone, who entered the night as Whitman’s #2 scorer and #1 rebounder, filled up the stat sheet with five points, seven rebounds, a team-high six assists and a steal.

Mady Burdett dropped in 16 to pace the Blues, who won their 20th straight and now sit at 12-0 in Northwest Conference play, 20-1 overall.

Kellner:

D’Youville is watching its playoff hopes slip away, as a a four-game skid has dropped the Spartans into ninth place in the 10-team Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference.

The top six teams make the postseason, and D’Youville (4-10 in league, 5-15 overall) is two games back with four to play.

Kellner, a freshman, used her floor time well Saturday, collecting two points, three rebounds, three assists and a blocked shot.

Fun, funky and fantabulous!!

   Sean “The Torpedo” Toomey-Stout (left) and Will “The Thrill” Nelson are just here for the sweet, sweet candy.

   That moment when you’re hoping against hope the school band shocks everyone and breaks out some Guns N’ Roses.

Lauren Rose (and her sticker) make for a happy duo.

Went to a basketball game and a good book broke out.

Mesmerized by Ethan Spark’s version of Blue Steel.

Having learned from his elders, he then busted out … Baby Blue Steel.

Kimberly Bepler gets her hug on.

   Rose is joined in a farewell smile-off by fellow Wolf volleyball stars (l to r) Ashley Menges, Lucy Sandahl and Emma Smith.

Babies as far as the eye can see.

Lil’ guys and girls dominated the stands Thursday at Coupeville’s final boys basketball home game, and they anchor this batch of fan photos.

Just to keep things fair, we’ve sprinkled in a few people of other ages, but, yep, it’s pretty much all about the babies.

Straight to the top, not gonna stop!!

February 2, 2018 by David Svien

Let the beat-downs continue.

Mere days after jumping to #2 in the national polls, Coupeville grad Makana Stone and the Whitman College women’s basketball squad delivered a message.

Blowing open a close game with a tough foe late in the third quarter Friday, the Blues savaged host Lewis & Clark College 75-54 for their 19th straight win.

Whitman, which jumped from #4 to #2 in the most-recent NCAA D-III coach’s poll, sits at 11-0 in Northwest Conference play, 19-1 overall.

The Blues are a game up on George Fox (10-1, 17-3) with five to play, including a meeting with their closest rival Feb. 10 in Newberg, OR, as they chase a conference title.

Having knocked off Lewis & Clark (10-10, 5-6), Whitman heads to Forest Grove, OR Saturday to face Pacific University (3-16, 2-9).

Friday’s rumble with the Pioneers was a fairly close one until the final two minutes of the third quarter.

Clinging to a 53-48 lead at the time, Whitman delivered the KO punch by closing the third with an 11-0 run to thoroughly deflate the home crowd.

Just to make sure they got the point, Taylor Chambers drilled the bottom of the net with a three-ball coming out of the break, stretching the Blues lead to 67-48.

Whitman had three players land in double digits scoring, with All-American senior Casey Poe leading the way with 16. Mady Burdett added 15, while Emily Rommel knocked down 12.

Stone racked up eight points, seven boards, a steal and a blocked shot in her 50th game as a college player.

After playing in 30 of 31 games as a freshman, with Whitman going 26-5 and making a run to the Elite Eight, Stone has appeared in every game this year, starting 19 of them.

She sits with 275 points, 129 rebounds, 34 assists, three blocks and 14 steals and is #1 on the Blues in rebounding and #2 in scoring.

Stone, who is just 17 points from cracking 500 at the collegiate level, is shooting 58% from the floor (117-203) and 77% from the free throw line (41-53) this season.

Hail the hot shots!!

A serious scorekeeper’s table for a serious game.

Gavin Knoblich stops ‘n pops.

The Joey Lippo fan club is out in force.

Cameron Toomey-Stout comes flying in hot.

   Four generations of Shermans converge in the CHS gym. The one you don’t see is Brad, the Wolf boys basketball coach.

Koa Davison has eyes only for the basket.

   Seniors, left to right, Kyle Rockwell, Lippo, Ethan Spark, Downes, Hunter Smith, James Vidoni and Toomey-Stout celebrate a final win on their home court.

The action was hot and the camera was crankin’.

The Coupeville High School boys basketball team shocked first-place Klahowya Thursday night, sending the Wolf seniors out victorious in their final home game.

Along for the ride was ace camera clicker John Fisken, who captured the shots above and a whole lot more.

And, when you do, remember, purchases help fund college scholarships for CHS student/athletes.

Wolf band lays down sweet tunes!!

Meyer, possibly up to shenanigans…

Jaschon Baumann senses the danger…

But Meyer is faster!

If the gym’s a rockin’, don’t come a knockin’.

Seriously, just walk in, cause no one will hear you banging on the outside doors.

When the Coupeville High School band (with a few middle school ringers tossed in for good measure) gets going, the gym is jumping, and Thursday night was prime time for the prairie musicians.

The pics above, which capture some Senior Night festivities and some musical action, come to us from photo bugs John Fisken and Susan Hulst.
