We may never know the final score for sure, but it was a win.
A big, big win.
Playing for the first time in a week, the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball squad crunched host Darrington Friday night, running the Loggers off their own court.
Was the final score 47-18, as the scoreboard showed?
Or 52-18, as the book has it?
Mysteries, eternal mysteries, doomed to fade into the fog of memory.
For now, just call it a victory, one which lifts the Wolves to 4-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 5-4 overall, and hands the CHS young guns their third consecutive W.
It was a game dominated by the visitors, as Coupeville dropped in the first 13 points to open things, before eventually settling for a 13-2 lead after one quarter, and a 27-9 advantage at the half.
From there, the Wolves continued to bang away, caressing Darrington’s unique backboards with their picture-perfect shots.
Five different CHS players drained a three-ball, with nine of 12 scoring on the night.
We’re going with the 52 points shown in the books — this is Coupeville Sports, after all, and we’re unabashedly homers — with Riley Lawless leading the way with eight.
Mahkai Myles (7), Easton Green (7), Kyle McCrimmon (6), Malachi Somes (5), Carson Grove (5), Davin Houston (5), Sage Arends (5), and Liam Blas (4) round out the scoring in this scenario, with Nathan Coxsey, Khanor Jump, and Jayden Little also seeing floor time.
The Wolf young guns will sit out next Tuesday’s home games with Concrete, as the Lions are having trouble fielding a second unit, but return to action Jan. 24 when CHS travels to Orcas Island.
