A few more shots tumbled through the net.

Snow and pandemic protocols reduced a three-game week into a one-game week for Coupeville High School basketball teams as they eased their way back onto the floor after the holidays.

But the Wolves did get contests against La Conner in the books, resulting in two wins and two losses.

They’re getting back into the groove.

After the long holiday layoff, the Coupeville High School girls basketball teams and wanderin’ photographer John Fisken returned to the gym Tuesday night.

That produced the pics you see above and below.

The rim was unforgiving.

Held to a season-low in points Friday, the Coupeville High School varsity girls basketball squad hit a rare pothole.

Unable to sustain much of a charge against host Mount Vernon Christian, the Wolves fell 55-24, snapping a three-game winning streak.

The loss drops Coupeville to 3-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 4-2 overall, heading into the holiday break.

Defending NWL champs La Conner sits atop the standings at 4-0, while CHS and MVC are tied for second-place, a game back with eight more conference clashes coming in 2022.

Coupeville is off for two-weeks plus, not playing any games, league or non-league, until Jan. 4.

Entering play Friday, Coupeville had tallied between 36 and 59 points every time out. That streak ended, however.

The Wolves fell behind 8-0 after one quarter, then were staring at a 29-2 deficit by the time the halftime break rolled around.

Coupeville’s only first half bucket came courtesy of a putback off of a rebound by Izzy Wells, and CHS didn’t score again until the 3:22 mark of the third quarter.

Trailing 39-2 when Audrianna Shaw drilled a three-ball, the Wolves found a second wind, something which pleased its leader.

“We showed up halfway through the third (quarter) and finally started to play,” said Coupeville coach Megan Smith. “It was a big learning game for us.

“I’m bummed for them, but they saw that we could play with the top dogs,” she added. “It’s all about confidence, and we finally gained it.”

The Wolves put together their best offensive showing in the fourth quarter, winning the eight-minute battle 16-12.

Delivering a nice jolt of energy was junior sniper Alita Blouin, who banged away for a team-high 11 points in her season debut.

Crashing through the defense and drawing frequent fouls on her foes, “The Assassin” revived memories of her middle school days, when she terrorized anyone who dared to step to her on the hardwood.

Running mate Maddie Georges backed up Blouin with five points, including a late three-ball, while Shaw (3), Izzy Wells (2), Nezi Keiper (1), Savina Wells (1), and Ja’Kenya Hoskins (1) also scored.

While the team’s shooting touch was AWOL early, Coupeville’s hustle and grit on defense were always evident, with Keiper and Carolyn Lhamon hitting the boards with intensity.

Alita Blouin bumps her way towards Second-Team All-League honors.

Onward and upward.

Four Coupeville High School spikers were honored when the Northwest 2B/1B League doled out All-Conference honors, with all the Wolves marking an improvement from last season.

Junior setter Maddie Georges was tabbed as a First-Team pick a year after landing on the Second-Team, while libero Alita Blouin and middle blocker Jill Prince earned Second-Team honors this time around.

That duo were both Honorable Mention during their sophomore campaigns.

Jill Prince dances the dance of her people.

Completing the Coupeville honorees was sophomore Olivia Schaffeld, who claimed Honorable Mention for her first season on the Wolf varsity.

CHS went 10-2 in NWL play, finishing second to La Conner, which will chase a third-straight 2B state title this weekend.

The top Brave — junior Ellie Marble, whose spikes sound like gun shots hitting the floor — was tabbed league MVP, making her three-for-three in that category.

Orcas Island was honored with Best Sportsmanship, while Viking leader Rachel Wilson was also named Coach of the Year.
