Next up.

Coupeville High School boys’ basketball lost a generational player to graduation, as Chase Anderson bowed out after making it all the way up to #7 on the career scoring chart.

With Camden Glover (#80) and others also departing as part of the CHS Class of 2026, the leading active scorer heading into this winter is senior Davin Houston, who has tallied 121 points and counting.

After that it’s a pretty big drop off, with current junior Carson Grove sitting with 32 varsity points to his credit.

Which just means it’s time for a new crop of Wolves to start making their mark on the chart, which covers 1917 to present.

That chart, which is pretty solid from say 1950 on, with the exception of Tom Sahli’s sophomore season in 1951-1952 (my Holy Grail…), is below, with active players listed in bold:

Logan Flowers beats the defense last season. (Julie Wheat photo)

The hardwood is about to heat up.

Basketball season approaches, with the first day of practice for Coupeville Middle School boys set to tip-off October 26, and games slated to start in less than a month.

Alex Evans and Kassie O’Neil will be on the bench as coaches for the Wolves, who play an eight-game schedule against Cascade League foes.

It’s a rather extreme schedule as schedules go, with three straight home clashes to begin, followed by four straight trips on the bus, then a home finale against next-door rival South Whidbey.

On Tuesdays, Level 1 (varsity) will play first, followed by 2 and 3, while on Wednesday or Thursday it goes in reverse, with a 3-2-1 layout.

The CMS girls take the floor after the boys, with their season beginning in late January, so we’ll stash their schedule away for now and circle back to discuss that later.

For now, here’s the plan for the Wolf boys:

 

Tue-Nov. 10 — Sultan (3:15)
Thur-Nov. 12 — King’s (3:15)
Tues-Nov. 17 — Northshore Christian Academy (3:15)
Thur-Nov. 19 — @ Granite Falls (3:15)
Tue-Dec. 1 — @ South Whidbey (3:30)
Wed-Dec. 2 — @ Lakewood (3:15)
Tue-Dec. 8 — @ Sultan (3:15)
Tue-Dec. 15 — South Whidbey (3:15)

Kassie O’Neil

The Wolves have added a sharpshooter.

Kassie O’Neil, who lived to drain three-balls which made private school rivals cry sweet, sweet tears during her own school days, is back in the gym to help train a new generation of Cow Town hoops stars.

Having previously held high school JV and middle school coaching gigs in Cow Town, the hardwood legend has been tabbed to join the Coupeville Middle School boys’ basketball staff for the 2026-2027 school year.

She replaces RayLynn Ratcliff, who stepped down after three seasons, and O’Neil’s hire will be official once approved by the school board at its Thursday meeting.

As a high school player, O’Neil, then working under the name Kassie Lawson, saw varsity action all four of her seasons between 2005-2006 and 2008-2009, scoring 184 career points.

But it was when she tallied those buckets which still looms largest.

O’Neil delivered a prime-time dagger to ruin the evening for the richniks from King’s in 2008, nailing a buzzer-beating three-ball to give Coupeville a 33-32 home win and the #1 playoff seed out of the Cascade Conference.

A year later, as a CHS senior, she poured in 13 of her team-high 19 points in the fourth quarter to fuel a wild comeback against Granite Falls in a game which came down to the final second.

That included splashing home a trey with 18 seconds to play to force a tie.

The young sharpshooter, plotting the destruction of King’s and Archbishop Thomas Murphy.

They trekked across the state, drawn by the sound of squeaking sneakers.

A pack of 20 Coupeville High School basketball players and their coaches recently traveled from Cow Town to Spokane to attend a summer hoops camp held at the hardwood hotbed of Gonzaga University.

The school which produced all-timers like John Stockton, Domantas Sabonis, Chet Holmgren, and Jean-Claude Lefebvre (look him up…) welcomed the Wolves and other schools from across multiple states and countries.

While in Spokane, the CHS hoopsters squared off with rival squads from Washington, Oregon, Montana, and the wilds of Canada, playing 12 games.

“Our boys worked hard this week against some great competition,” said Wolf varsity head coach Brad Sherman.

“Great crew of guys to cross the state with. Proud of the hard work and commitment to growth.

“Looking forward to the year ahead with these boys – but right now just grateful for the opportunity we had in Spokane this week!”

Ready to rumble.

Games were played at various spots across the Gonzaga campus, with start times ranging from early morning to late evening.

The Wolves also participated in weight room and court clinics, short situational games, late night team bonding in the dorms, and a couple of froyo trips “in the rare down time.”

Topping things off, Coupeville played one of its games on the main Gonzaga court, where Mark Few’s Bulldogs routinely terrorize the top teams in the nation.

“Playing on that court, that was pretty cool,” Sherman said.

“It was a great week and a great way to kick off the summer!”

Coupeville High School boys’ basketball guru Brad Sherman emerged from the Summer Tipoff Hoops Camp energized and confident in the future of his program.

The camp brought in middle school players and gave them a chance to work with current CHS and CMS coaches, as well as current and former high school players.

Emphasis was put on “fundamental skills, competitive hoops, team and program culture work, goal setting, and a lot of fun being in the gym together.”

“The boys worked hard and brought a lot of energy!” Sherman said.
