Hoops hotshots ease through holidays

More days off than on right now.

With the holidays unfolding, most Northwest 2B/1B League basketball teams are taking chunks of time off between games.

After playing two tilts in Eastern Washington this weekend, Coupeville is in rest mode until a road trip to Wahkiakum next Saturday, Jan. 4.

That trip is 200+ miles one way, however, so there’s that to look forward to for the Wolves.

As we mentally prep for the calendar to flip to a new year — a time when conference action will become the focus — here’s where things currently stand:

 

Northwest League boys’ basketball:

School League Overall
La Conner 2-0 5-3
Darrington 1-0 4-4
MV Christian 1-0 3-3
Coupeville 1-1 2-7
Concrete 0-1 2-4
Friday Harbor 0-1 0-8
Orcas Island 0-2 1-5

 

Northwest League girls’ basketball:

School League Overall
Concrete 1-0 4-2
La Conner 1-0 4-4
MV Christian 1-0 6-1
Coupeville 1-1 3-6
Friday Harbor 0-0 1-7
Darrington 0-1 4-3
Orcas Island 0-2 5-3

CHS boys nipped in 2024 finale

The encore was a huge leap forward.

Playing for the second time in as many days at Central Washington University, the Coupeville High School varsity boys’ basketball squad fought hard to the final moments Saturday.

And while the Wolves ultimately fell 53-50 to Kittitas, a non-conference rival with a stellar hoops history, the game was a marked improvement after CHS was routed Friday by Toledo.

Now 2-7 on the season, Coupeville is off until Jan. 4, when it travels to Wahkiakum for another rumble with a non-traditional foe.

Squaring off with Kittitas, a school with two boys’ basketball state titles to its credit, the Wolves never flinched.

Neither team could get the ball to stay in the hoop during the opening quarter, with the Coyotes clinging to a 5-4 lead, but then Coupeville picked up the pace.

Camden Glover splashed home a three-ball as part of a five-point spurt in the second frame, and five Wolves tallied points during a 15-10 surge.

Up 19-15, things looked good for CHS, but Kittitas had an answer of its own, using a 22-15 run in the third quarter to reclaim the lead at 37-34.

Sparked by Dallon Walker, who banged home 15 of his game-high 20 points in the second half, the Coyotes had just enough to hold off Coupeville in a game which remained close through the final buzzer.

The Wolves got scoring from seven different players, with Chase Anderson and Landon Roberts leading the way with 12 and 11 points, respectively.

Glover (8), Jack Porter (6), Hunter Bronec (5), Johnny Porter (4), and Hurlee Bronec (4) also hit the bottom of the net, with Malachi Somes rounding out the rotation for Brad Sherman’s squad during the final game of 2024.

Tough Toledo tips wily Wolves

Early tipoff times never scared them.

With the ref tossing the ball skyward at 8:59 AM Saturday morning at Central Washington University, it made for a quick turnaround for the Coupeville High School varsity girls’ basketball team.

Back on the court about 15 hours after their last game, the Wolves responded well, playing a tough Toledo squad even until the third quarter.

While the Riverhawks eventually pulled out a 36-29 win, the scrappy Wolves closed their Eastern Washington holiday road trip in style.

Now 3-6 on the season, Coupeville is off until Jan. 4, when it travels to Wahkiakum for another stern non-conference test.

Squaring off with a Toledo squad which claimed its fourth straight win to get to 6-3, the Wolves kept things close.

Senior gunner Katie Marti outscored the Riverhawks by herself in a defensive-minded first quarter, staking CHS to a 5-4 lead.

Toledo evened things up at 13-13 heading into the halftime break, before using an 11-6 run in the third quarter to slightly pull away.

Ryah Stanley was the difference down the stretch, as the Riverhawk junior tallied nine of her game-high 19 points in the fourth quarter.

Toledo clanked many a free throw, netting just 5-15 at the line to open the door a bit, but the refs were little help, as Coupeville barely got to the charity stripe, finishing just 1-4 once there.

Madison McMillan (left) and Lyla Stuurmans get ready to rumble.

Marti paced the Wolves with nine points, moving from #44 to #41 on the CHS girls’ career scoring chart.

She sits with 263 points heading into 2025 and passed all-timers Madeline Strasburg (261), Carly Guillory (260), and Sarah Mouw (259) Saturday morning.

Madison McMillan and Haylee Armstrong both banked in six to back Marti, with Teagan Calkins (4), Mia Farris (2), and Jada Heaton (2) also keeping the scorekeeper busy.

Lyla Stuurmans, Danica Strong, Tenley Stuurmans, and Capri Anter rounded out Megan Richter’s roster on the holiday weekend road trip to Ellensburg.
