It was raining Tuesday, in a most unpleasant manner.
With three-point bombs dropping from the heavens seemingly every few seconds, the Coupeville High School boys’ basketball team got quickly run off the floor at Cedarcrest.
By the time the host Red Wolves were done hitting for 12 treys, they had put a 72-39 hurting on their visitors.
The loss dropped Coupeville to 2-11 overall, 0-8 in Cascade Conference play.
The Wolves remain two games behind South Whidbey (2-11, 2-6) for a 1A playoff berth, with six league games to play, including an all-Whidbey showdown in Langley Jan. 28.
Cedarcrest (9-5, 6-2), which used a 24-9 surge in the first quarter to put the game on ice, had seven different players hit from behind the three-point stripe. Alex Paulsen netted three, while three teammates each connected twice.
Coupeville, which failed to net a single three-pointer, battled back, playing even in a 12-12 fourth quarter.
The Wolves were paced by 12 points from Aaron Trumbull and 11 from Anthony Bergeron.
Nick Streubel tossed in eight, Wiley Hesselgrave hit for five, Matt Shank banked home a bucket and Gavin O’Keefe rounded out the scoring stats with a free throw.
In JV action, Cedarcrest piled on the points late to stretch the final score out to 65-30.
