Their moment is coming.

Coupeville Middle School girls get their crack at basketball in the new year, with an eight-game season running from early February to early March.

It’ll actually be a continuation for some of the 8th graders, as a pack of those Wolves are currently playing on the high school’s JV team.

When they make a return visit to middle school action, they’ll be joined by other 8th graders, as well as players from 7th and 6th.

Bennett Richter is scheduled to be back as coach, while the school is currently looking for a new running mate for him to replace the departed Mia Littlejohn.

 

The schedule:

Thur-Feb. 8 — South Whidbey — (3:15)
Tues. Feb. 13 — @ Granite Falls — (3:15)
Thur-Feb. 15 — @ Sultan — (3:15)
Tues-Feb. 20 — @ Northshore Christian — (3:15)
Thur-Feb. 22 — King’s — (3:15)
Tue-Feb. 27 — Lakewood — (3:30)
Thur-Feb. 29 — Sultan — (3:15)
Thur-Mar. 7 — @ South Whidbey — (3:30)

Babies, basketballs, and binkies.

All can be found at your local high school gym this winter, with the latter probably being for the former.

Though if sucking on a pacifier keeps a hoops coach from getting a technical while dealing with blind refs, toddlers everywhere may need to keep an eye on their accessories.

Share and share alike.

While we ponder that, a photographic look at various Coupeville fans, coaches, and players to fill the hole in your life left by the holidays keeping hardwood games off the calendar.

The battle for Santa’s approval is an intense one.

They’re shutting down for a bit.

Well, not totally, as the Coupeville High School basketball teams will continue to practice during the holidays, but there are no more games on the schedule until Jan. 5.

That’s when the Wolves travel to the wilds of Darrington to kick off the 2024 portion of the 2023-2024 hoops season.

WIAA rankings favor Wolf boys

Currently just one of Whidbey’s six varsity high school basketball teams has a winning record.

That’s the Coupeville boys, who sit at 6-1 and are ranked #9 in 2B by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association’s RPI formula.

The “Rating Percentage Index,” a hotly debated topic, is “one of the tools utilized by the seeding committees to determine first round bracket pairings into the state tournaments.”

It’s also great for starting arguments, as when it puts Pacific Christian Academy (1-0) at #1 in 1B boys, over Cusick (8-0), Wellpinit (6-0), or Clallam Bay (6-0).

Especially since there’s virtually no info for PCA online, and its one supposed win, over South Eugene Dec. 15, is credited to an entirely different school — Pacifica Christian/Orange County — on MaxPreps.

But back to Coupeville, where the Wolves are a legit 6-1, with their only loss to Toledo, currently 2B’s #19 team.

Colfax (7-0) sits atop the 2B RPI, with Coupeville’s Northwest 2B/1B League mates La Conner at #25 and Friday Harbor at #31.

On the 1B side of things, Mount Vernon Christian is #29, Orcas Island #32, Concrete #36, and Darrington #50.

Whidbey’s other two high schools?

South Whidbey (1-5) is #57 in 1A, while Oak Harbor (2-6) is #67 in 3A.

In girls’ action, Rainier (7-0) and Neah Bay (5-1) are #1 in 2B and 1B respectively.

Coupeville (3-5) sits at #35 in 2B, with La Conner at #28 and Friday Harbor #49, though that number is skewed for the Wolves, as they are currently credited with a win they don’t actually own.

The score from the CHS vs. FH boys’ game, in favor of the Wolves, was entered twice, while in reality, Coupeville’s girls lost that night.

NWL top dog Mount Vernon Christian (8-1) is the highest-ranked team from the conference at #4 in 1B, with Concrete (#28), Darrington (#31), and Orcas Island (#61) following behind.

South Whidbey (2-5) is #51 in 1A, with Oak Harbor (3-4) at #24 in 3A.

This despite one of those Wildcat losses being to MVC, in a rare case of a 1B school bushwhacking a 3A institution.
