Big games, big wins, big photos.

The Coupeville High School varsity basketball teams swept to resounding victories Friday against visiting Darrington, and wanderin’ photographer John Fisken was there to capture the moments.

The pics above and below are courtesy him.

To see everything he shot, and ponder the possibility of buying some glossies for the grandparents, pop over to:

Stone soars in England

She’s back at full force.

Coupeville’s Makana Stone, who worked her way back from an injury, returned to the starting lineup Saturday and poured in a team-high 18 points in a tense Women’s British Basketball League clash.

While the Leicester Riders fell 60-53 to the Manchester Met Mystics, the offensive outburst was the best the former Wolf has achieved in her first season as a pro player.

Stone also snatched five rebounds and made off with a steal as her squad fell to 6-3 in league play, 9-4 overall.

With the loss, Leicester drops into a fourth-place tie with Manchester in the 13-team WBBL.

The game was a close one, but Manchester used a run in the second quarter to salt the victory away.

Up 14-11 after one period, the Met Mystics claimed a 21-13 advantage in the second frame to carry a 35-24 lead in to halftime.

Leicester trimmed the margin down to 46-39 after three, but couldn’t make it all the way back.

Brooklyn Mcalear tossed in 16 points to back up Stone, while Manchester countered with the one-two combo of Lauren Thomas-Johnson and Erika Williams, who went for 21 and 20, respectively.

Stone has racked up 82 points, 62 rebounds, 13 assists, and eight steals as a pro.

The Riders return to action next Sunday, Dec. 19, when they face off with the Sevenoaks Suns, who sit atop the WBBL with a 9-0 record.

A gift drive for those in need wraps up soon.

The Coupeville High School basketball teams are spearheading the event, with donation boxes in the gym lobby.

Friday night’s home doubleheader against Darrington — girls varsity at 5:15, boys at 7:00, no JV — offers a final chance for fans to bring gifts with them to a game.

The boxes will be pulled Dec. 15, with all donations going to the Holiday House North.

The Wolves are looking for unwrapped gifts which can be redistributed to families in Coupeville and Oak Harbor.

There are actually two boxes, as CHS girls and boys hoops programs are competing against each other to see who can bring in the most gifts.

Cookies are at stake, and, currently, the Wolf girls are crushing the boys like the Harlem Globetrotters squaring off with the Washington Generals.

Do the ticket hustle!

Want to see Xavier Murdy and Co. play live Saturday on Orcas Island? You have some work to do. (Photo by JohnsPhotos.net)

First come, first served — and you have to buy your ticket in advance.

When the Coupeville High School basketball teams travel to Orcas Island Saturday, seating will be restricted to 50 road fans.

Wolf fans interested in attending also need to pre-purchase their tickets online, and when 50 tickets are sold, the event will appear as “sold out.”

Tickets go on sale Thursday.

When you arrive at the gym Saturday, your digital ticket will be scanned. No cash will be accepted.

Orcas High School will pay the $1 service fee for each transaction, but fans will have to pay a 2.9% card processing fee in addition to the normal entrance fee.

This affects ONLY the games at Orcas Saturday, and not games when the Vikings travel to Whidbey to play Coupeville.

To buy tickets, go to https://orcasvikings.com/ and click on “tickets” in the top right corner of the page.

We’re (slightly) in limbo.

The Coupeville High School basketball squads are off until this weekend, when they play back-to-back games Friday and Saturday.

The first of those is at home against Darrington, the second on the road at Orcas Island.

While the Wolves work in practice, and their fans wait for games, some pics to help pass the time.
