The basket was jumping.

Raining down buckets from every angle Monday, the Coupeville High School varsity girls’ basketball team set a season-high, scorching host Auburn Adventist Academy 64-29.

The non-conference road win lifts the Wolves to 3-9 on the season heading into a home rumble Friday with Northwest 2B/1B League rival Darrington.

Scout Smith’s squad poured it on, and never relented Monday, with the 64 points easily besting their previous high of 48.

Eight minutes into play the game was all but over, with Haylee Armstrong and Teagan Calkins combining for 14 points to spur a game-opening 21-2 surge.

From there CHS pushed the advantage out to 36-13 at the half and 52-20 through three quarters.

The Wolves snapped the nets on five shots from behind the three-point arc, with Armstrong, Calkins, and Danica Strong all netting treys.

Coupeville also put together one of its better shooting performances at the free-throw line, hitting on nine of 14 shots, while Auburn clanked its way to a 4-19 performance at the stripe.

Armstrong almost outscored her rivals by herself, accounting for a game-high 20 points, while Adeline Maynes knocked down a season-high 10 in support.

Tenley Stuurmans (8), Calkins (8), Strong (5), Kennedy O’Neill (4), Sydney Van Dyke (4), Arianna Cunningham (3), and Capri Anter (2) also tallied points, while Lexis Drake hit the boards hard.

The Hurricanes made it rain.

Hitting 11 three-balls Tuesday, including five in the first quarter alone, the Mount Vernon Christian varsity girls’ basketball team rolled past host Coupeville 69-28 in a show of dominance.

The loss drops the Wolves to 0-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League action, 1-4 overall, with a three-game trip to the Trojan Storm Classic in Bellingham next up for Scout Smith’s squad.

Coupeville is slated to play Dec. 29-31, opening against Blaine before squaring off with two as-yet-to-be-named rivals the following days.

The Wolves won’t play another league game until Jan. 6, 2026, when they host Friday Harbor, and won’t see MVC again until a Jan. 27 road trip to the mainland.

That should give Coupeville some time to wash away the bad taste of Tuesday’s first quarter.

Things did not go well for the Wolves across the game’s first seven minutes-plus, with the ‘Canes hitting four consecutive treys as part of a game-opening 21-0 tear.

CHS finally broke through when freshman Kennedy O’Neill crashed hard through the paint with just 43 seconds left in the frame, earning a three-point play the hard way, thanks to a bucket and free throw.

Then the pain resurfaced.

Mount Vernon Christian scored five more points in the first quarter, capping a 26-3 frame by netting a three-ball with a single second remaining on the clock, before scoring three straight buckets to open the second.

Down 32-3, the Wolves hung tough, however, closing the half on a mini run of their own to cut the lead back to 36-10.

A three-ball from Teagan Calkins, set up by a Danica Strong offensive rebound, brought an emotional response from the pro-Wolf crowd, while Strong also played beat the buzzer, banking in a shot with two ticks left to play.

Long-range assassin Danica Strong is locked and loaded.

But while MVC didn’t hit any long-range shots in the second quarter, it got right back down to business in the third, splashing home four more treys to push the margin to 55-16.

There were bright spots for the Wolves, though.

Strong hit paydirt on a pair of three-balls while also coming up big cleaning the glass, while Haylee Armstrong showcased her never-say-die attitude, scoring nine of her 12 points in the fourth.

That gives the junior guard a team-best 50 points through the first five games and leaves her just a bucket shy of reaching 150 for her varsity career.

Armstrong’s 12 points was backed up by Strong (8), Calkins (5), and O’Neill (3), with Tenley Stuurmans, Lexis Drake, Sydney Van Dyke, Capri Anter, Adeline Maynes, and Ari Cunningham all seeing floor time.

Adeline Maynes was in mid-season form.

The Coupeville High School sophomore was firing BBs from the pitcher’s circle Saturday, whiffing five across three innings to lead the Island Vipers 16U softball squad to a 9-4 win over New Level Softball – Dail in Everett.

The Vipers, who draw players from across Whidbey Island, jumped on their foes with a four-run top of the first, and never looked back.

“The girls came out firing on all cylinders, the base runners were aggressive, and the bats were on fire,” said coach Grant Van Dyke.

Sydney Van Dyke and Shea Allison fueled the early rally with base knocks, with the Vipers coming back around to ice the game with five runs in the third.

Sophie Zeigler, Emma Allison, Maynes, and Shea Allison all drove in runs during the game-deciding surge, with Cameron Van Dyke and Charley Lasick also picking up base hits.

Capri Anter and Marlie Wutzke paced the Vipers with two walks apiece, with the squad pushing the pace on the basepaths with eight stolen bases.

The Vipers, who also include Ava Lucero and Kennedy Strevel on their roster, get back at it next Saturday with another road game, this time traveling to square off with the WA Bombers 16U.

The road to back-to-back league titles is a rocky one.

When you’re the big dogs, everyone comes hard for you, something a rebuilding Coupeville High School volleyball squad is experiencing on a nightly basis.

The latest lesson came Thursday in the wilds of Darrington, as the Wolves, missing key starter Haylee Armstrong, fell in straight sets.

The 25-22, 25-18, 25-18 loss drops CHS to 1-3 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 2-4-1 overall.

With Armstrong sidelined by a bad foot, Tenley Stuurmans moved to outside hitter, with swing player Adeline Maynes nabbing the start at setter, where she collected a varsity career high 12 assists.

Coupeville returns to action Monday, Sept. 29, when it travels to the mainland to face non-conference foe Auburn Adventist Academy.

After that, the Wolves play six straight league contests, starting with back-to-back home matches against Orcas Island and Friday Harbor.

 

Thursday stats:

Capri Anter — 4 digs, 1 ace
Teagan Calkins — 6 kills, 5 digs, 1 assist, 3 aces
Ari Cunningham — 1 kill, 2 digs, 2 block assists
Lexis Drake — 3 digs
Adeline Maynes – 1 dig, 12 assists, 1 block assist, 1 ace
Dakota Strong — 4 kills, 1 block assist
Tenley Stuurmans — 4 kills, 13 digs, 1 assist, 2 aces

JV nipped:

The Wolves ultimately won more points (67-65), but the Loggers won more sets to claim a 25-22, 25-20, 15-25 victory.

The loss drops Coupeville’s second squad to 2-1 in league play, 3-2 overall, but also featured the JV debut for Mary Western and Darcee Dickson.

“These debuts were earned through daily hard work and dedication,” said CHS varsity coach Scout Smith. “They consistently show up day in and day out.”

 

Thursday stats:

Emma Leavitt — 1 kill, 2 digs, 14 assists, 1 ace
Olivia Martin — 1 kill, 3 aces
Isa Mc Fetridge — 3 kills, 3 digs, 1 assist, 1 ace
Kennedy O’Neill — 2 kills, 4 digs, 1 ace
Chelsi Stevens — 4 kills, 2 digs, 2 aces
Sydney Van Dyke — 5 kills, 2 digs
Mary Western — 1 dig
