They may never lose again.

Getting buckets from nine players Wednesday, the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball team roared past host La Conner, winning 51-30.

The fifth straight victory for the young Wolves, it lifts them to 2-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 6-3 overall.

Hunter Smith’s squad built an early lead against the Braves, before blowing things wide open with a dramatic third-quarter run.

Up 14-11 at the first break, Coupeville stretched the margin to 29-19 by the half, while saving its best for right after halftime.

Jack Porter and Aiden O’Neill both popped for five points in the third frame, including a three-ball apiece, as CHS torched La Conner 14-0.

From there, the Wolves strolled in for the win, running their road record to a pristine 4-0 on the season.

With Coupeville’s next game involving a bus trip to Mount Vernon Christian Friday, that bodes well for the young guns.

O’Neill paced the Wolves at La Conner, splashing home a pair of three-balls en route to a game-high 10 points.

Hunter Bronec (8), Malachi Somes (7), Jack Porter (7), Chase Anderson (6), Landon Roberts (4), Johnny Porter (4), Hurlee Bronec (3), and Camden Glover (2) also scored, with Carson Field and Yohannon Sandles seeing floor time.

Somes, Hunter Bronec, and Jack Porter all connected on three-balls, joining O’Neill in the long-distance club.

Cubs get hot, Wolves go cold

Too many runs.

The Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball squad survived one 11-0 tear by visiting Sedro-Woolley Thursday night.

The second time it happened, however, the Wolves didn’t recover.

Unable to stop a high-flying Sedro offense, Coupeville saw a one-point game turn into something much more like a rout, eventually falling 69-39.

The non-conference loss drops the Wolves to 1-3, with a road game Saturday at Forks next up on the schedule.

Coupeville struck first Thursday, with freshman Aiden O’Neill taking the ball end-to-end for a flying layup.

But then, in the blink of an eye, the visitors responded with a three-ball, kicking off a run of 11 straight points.

The Wolves recovered, step by step, slowing down the game by crashing to the hoop and getting free throws.

Chase Anderson rippled the nets for four charity shots, while Hunter Bronec added a fifth, and CHS chipped the deficit back to 18-9 by the first break.

Playing their best ball of the night, the Wolves jumped on the Cubs as the second quarter started, pulling within 20-19 after Camden Glover knocked down a short jumper in the paint.

That capped a 10-2 Coupeville surge, with Glover and both Hunter and Hurlee Bronec coming up big.

But, as quickly as the momentum shifted to the Wolves, it washed away, and this time when Sedro put the hammer down, it put it down for good.

The game’s second 11-0 run stretched the margin back to double-digits and a couple of late three-balls from the visitors helped them eventually carve out a 39-26 advantage by halftime.

The third quarter was a back-and-forth affair, but Coupeville never again got the deficit under 10, and a 19-3 Sedro rampage in the final frame made the score look worse than it really was.

The Wolves did spread their own offensive attack out, with O’Neill dropping a team-high 11 points.

Hunter Bronec (8), Anderson (6), Hurlee Bronec (5), Glover (4), Jack Porter (3), and Landon Roberts (2) also scored for CHS.

Mikey Robinett, Carson Field, Malachi Somes, Johnny Porter, and Yohannon Sandles rounded out the active roster for CHS coach Hunter Smith.

Big hits, big wins, big photos

Davin Houston has skills.

On the football field, the Coupeville Middle School 8th grader is a talented player, just like older brothers Dawson and Daylon.

While Davin has to wait until next year to take the field for the high school squad, he’s spent the season as part of the program.

As he learns and prepares for his own time in the spotlight, the young Wolf has also shown a nice touch with the camera, as seen in the pics above and below.

They capture Coupeville players in the aftermath of their 43-14 win at Friday Harbor, which clinched the program’s first trip to the state tourney since 1990.

Aiden O’Neill (left) and Daylon Houston enjoy the moment.

Daylon (3) talks strategy with Dominic Coffman. “So, run right over everyone. That should work great.”

Valenzuela carries a message of love to the gridiron.

The future’s so bright, he’s gotta wear shades.

Gridiron squad builds bright future

The young guns are ready for their close-ups.

First-year Coupeville High School football head coach Bennett Richter has eight freshmen on a 32-man roster this season.

Toss in two eighth graders, Davin Houston and Dylan Robinett, who are working with the team while they await the arrival of their high school gridiron eligibility, and it’s a strong group.

Five of those eight frosh have made their debut on the stat sheet already this season, led by Aiden O’Neill and Chase Anderson, who have each been involved in a touchdown celebration.

The size of the group is remarkable for a school which no longer has a middle school gridiron program and has to hope Coupeville kids travel up to Oak Harbor to participate in Whidbey’s only youth football program.

The photos above and below capture eight of the 10 young stars.

O’Neill is missing, as we already used his portrait after he snagged his debut TD catch, and Devinion Hill was apparently not part of the photo shoot from where these pics originated.
