On to the next season.

With Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball having wrapped its season Monday, the countdown begins for spring sports to reach CMS.

That means track season, and the Wolves will be competing against new opponents this year.

Any connection with the Cascade Conference (and traditional rival Langley) is long gone, which means Coupeville, which can’t host a meet on its about-to-be-ripped-up-track, will travel off-Island for all its meets.

The first day of practice is Monday, April 11.

After that, the Wolves have a five-meet schedule:

Wed-Apr. 27 @ Stevens
Wed-May 4 @ Blue Heron (Port Townsend)
Tue-May 10 @ Sequim
Tue-May 17 @ Stevens
Wed-May 25 @ League Meet (Blue Heron MS)

P.S. — That schedule has flipped and flopped so many times in the last couple of weeks, it’s left me dizzy.

Best bet?

Keep popping over to the school’s website (maybe on an hourly basis) to keep track of any more movement:

No hoops for you.

Coupeville Middle School has cancelled its home hoops games scheduled for today, a victim of the wind storm that slammed the coast Wednesday night and early Thursday morning.

CMS is actually totally fine, but Blue Heron Middle School in Port Townsend, which was supposed to travel to Whidbey today, is closed.

The school has no power, according to a report by the Port Townsend Leader.

Wolf coaches Ryan King and Bob Martin confirmed the games have been postponed.

They will likely be rescheduled, and we will update this story when and if that happens.

Coupeville, which swept Blue Heron the first time the two schools faced, sits at 4-2 (8th grade varsity) and 2-4 (7th grade varsity), with four games remaining in the season.

UPDATE: As of 11:30 AM Thursday, Blue Heron MS officials are saying they may be unable to reschedule.

If that’s true, CMS will lose one of its five home games and end up with a nine-game schedule.

Coupeville travels to Forks Monday, Mar. 14, hosts Stevens Thursday, Mar. 17 and travels to Sequim Monday, Mar. 21.

   Jered Brown matched his uniform number, going off for a team-high 13 in the 8th grade game.

Both teams started hot, but only one stayed that way the whole night.

Playing back-to-back games for the first time this season, with both on the road, the Coupeville Middle School boys’ basketball squads managed to eke out a split Friday.

The 7th grade Wolves got double-digit scoring from three of their starters in Port Townsend en route to thumping host Blue Heron Middle School 51-38.

Their 8th grade counterparts got off to a quick start, as well, but, after scoring 13 points in the first quarter, managed only 14 the rest of the way and fell 47-27.

Coupeville, which had just returned from a far-flung visit to Forks on Thursday, was forced to jump right back on the bus thanks to an earlier-season game that was denied by bad weather which grounded the ferry system.

For the school’s young guns, that proved no problem, as they romped all afternoon, with a 17-point third quarter putting the game on ice.

Freewheeling long-range gunner Daniel Olson paced the Wolves, scoring 13 of his team-high 15 in the second half.

Matthew Kelley dropped in 11, while Jake Mitten worked the paint for 10.

Dakota Eck added a season-best eight, with six coming in the third, while Sage Downes (3), Ben Smith (2) and Michael Laska (2) also scored for Coupeville.

In the 8th grade game, CMS fluctuated wildly, with 13 in the first and 10 in the third, yet just a lone basket in both the second and fourth quarters.

Only three Wolves scored, with Jered Brown leading the attack with 13.

Mason Grove popped for eight and Koa Davison banked home six.

Coupeville closes the boys middle school hoops season with two games next week against schools with huge student bodies.

The Wolves host Stevens Monday (2:45 tip), then travel to Sequim Thursday.
