They’re the spark that lights the fire

The cheers bounce off the gym walls, and not the prairie itself.

Other than that, it’s business as normal for the Coupeville High School cheer squad, which has moved indoors for winter.

Still loud ‘n proud. Still at the forefront of Wolf athletics.

Coupeville High School basketball players are spearheading an annual toy drive this weekend.

The Wolves host home games Friday (Orcas Island) and Saturday (Morton-White Pass) and will be accepting unwrapped gifts to be given to Holiday House North, which serves families in Oak Harbor and Coupeville.

It’s a competition as well, as the CHS girls’ and boys’ hoops stars will each have a box set up in the lobby of the gym.

“We are excited to give to some families in our community,” said Coupeville High School Athletic Director Brad Sherman.

“And we encourage all spectators to join us in helping to spread some joy and happiness as we enter into the holiday season.”

Stuurmans electric, Wolves competitive

Rough first quarter, super-close final three frames.

Continuing a trend which seemed to affect every Coupeville team Monday night, the Wolf JV girls’ basketball team stumbled out of the gate, before turning on the intensity.

Ultimately, an early 10-1 deficit was a bit too much to overcome for the CHS young guns, who fell to 1-2 on the season with a 39-26 loss.

But hanging tough for the game’s final 24 minutes was a victory in itself.

“We fought a tough battle against a well-prepared Forks JV,” said Coupeville coach Scout Smith.

“Overall, it was a good game, and I was very proud of how we played.

“I never questioned our belief as a team that we could come back.”

The deficit was never more than two points in any of the final three quarters for Coupeville.

The Wolf offense was led by swing player Tenley Stuurmans, as the fab frosh exploded for a game-high 15 points while being limited to just two quarters of action.

Adeline Maynes (6), Chelsi Stevens (2), Ari Cunningham (2), and Capri Anter (1) also tallied points, with Marin Winger, Amelia Crowder, Lexis Drake, Willow Leedy-Bonifas, Sydney Van Dyke, Jeann Nitta, and Ava Lucero seeing floor time.

Smith praised her entire roster, from Cunningham and Maynes, who “were troopers playing every minute of the second half” to a duo who came up big on defense.

“Sydney did well defensively. She was disciplined in her role and protected the paint,” Smith said.

“Lexis brought a lot of energy defensively and forced a lot of turnovers towards the end of the game.”

Young Wolves rumble with Spartans

“We ARE getting better with each game!”

While the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball team fell to 1-2 on the season with a narrow 45-38 loss Monday at Forks, Wolf coach Jon Roberts came away pleased with a lot.

At least until he had to get back on the bus and endure a knee-wrecking journey back to Whidbey from the hinterlands.

“Overall, we feel like the loss and score didn’t match the intensity most players played at, or the fact that we outscored Forks in the second, third, and fourth quarters,” Roberts said.

It was the first frame that was the sticking point, as Coupeville started cold and fell behind 16-2 after eight minutes of play.

From that moment on, it was advantage Wolves, with the visitors outscoring their hosts 36-29 the rest of the way.

A 13-6 run in the third, fueled by Davin Houston and Carson Grove, almost got CHS all the way back, but the feisty Spartans held on at the end for the win.

Houston “had a breakout night both scoring and playing some lights out defense,” while leading the Wolves with a season-high 17-point performance.

Grove (8), Sage Arends (5), Nathan Coxsey (4), Easton Green (2), and Riley Lawless (2) also scored for CHS, with Malachi Somes, Liam Blas, and Khanor Jump seeing floor time.

The Wolves return to action this weekend, hosting Orcas Island Friday and Morton-White Pass Saturday.
