Speed kills.

So, good thing the fastest team on the diamond Thursday was Coupeville, and not La Conner.

Sparked by 19 steals, the Wolf varsity baseball team ran away with a resounding 12-2 win over the host Braves, handing them a key league win.

With the victory, CHS gets to 5-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 7-3 overall.

That keeps the Wolves right on the heels of 1B powerhouse Mount Vernon Christian, which is 6-0 in NWL action, while also pushing them to 3-0 against their fellow 2B schools.

League title or not, Coupeville’s playoff fate is determined entirely by how it does against La Conner and Friday Harbor, and Thursday’s win gets the Wolves halfway to a sweep of that six-game royal rumble.

CHS spaced out its runs against the Braves, scoring in six of seven innings, while using three pitchers to shut La Conner down.

Camden Glover got the start and tossed two scoreless innings before giving way to fellow freshman Chase Anderson, who whiffed seven batters across three frames.

Senior hurler Scott Hilborn wrapped things up, striking out five while working the sixth and seventh.

The Wolves jumped on the Braves for two runs in the top of the first, after starting things off with two outs and no one aboard.

Jack Porter poked a single to give Coupeville its first runner, before Jonathan Valenzuela and Glover eked out walks to juice the bags.

Taking full advantage of his opportunities, Peyton Caveness smacked a two-run single to left field, and the Wolves were off and rolling.

Back-to-back RBI singles from Hilborn and Anderson keyed a three-run rally in the second, while the third inning was the only time the Wolves failed to score.

La Conner briefly rallied in the bottom of the third, plating a pair of runners to cut the margin to 5-2, but that was it for the Brave offense.

Working methodically, and running the bases like crazy, Coupeville pushed three more runs across in the fourth, one in the fifth, two more in the sixth, and a final tally in the seventh.

“I love it when a plan comes together!”

Hilborn and Anderson delivered back-to-back RBI singles for a second time, while the run in the fifth came courtesy of a rare triple steal.

The last big crunch of the game came off of Glover’s bat, with the fab frosh walloping an RBI double to left.

CHS was strong in all facets of the game, with Hilborn gunning down a runner at the plate, and Anderson teaming up with Cole White and Glover to pull off an inning-ending double play.

Eight different Wolves garnered a steal in the speed-fest, with Aiden O’Neill, Hilborn, and Anderson notching four apiece.

Thursday stats:

Chase Anderson — Two singles, one walk
Peyton Caveness — One single
Coop Cooper — Two singles
Camden Glover — One double, one walk
Scott Hilborn — Two singles
Aiden O’Neill — One walk
Jack Porter — One single, one walk
Johnny Porter — One single, one walk
Jonathan Valenzuela — One walk
Cole White — Two walks

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.
