Have basketball, will score.

Led by the one-two combo of Grady Rickner and Daniel Olson, the Coupeville High School JV boys basketball team scorched the nets Wednesday en route to another win.

Leading from start to finish, the Wolves rolled to a 56-37 non-conference victory at Friday Harbor, lifting their record to a crisp 3-1 on the season.

Rickner was in a groove all night, tossing in points in every quarter as he dropped a game-high 19 into the scoring column.

The Wolf sophomore rattled the rims for three in the first quarter, then went uphill from there, adding four, five, and seven in the ensuing frames.

Rickner netted a trio of three-balls along the way, while Alex Jimenez and Alex Murdy also hit from behind the arc.

Olson finished in double digits as well, dumping in six of his 12 points during Coupeville’s 18-point fourth quarter assault on the net.

Murdy (7), Cody Roberts (6), Jimenez (5), TJ Rickner (5), and Sage Downes (2) rounded out a well-balanced offensive attack, with Miles Davidson and Logan Martin also seeing floor time.

Chris Smith’s high-flying squad returns to action this weekend, as Coupeville hosts Concrete Friday, then hits the road to Seattle Saturday to play The Bush School.

He burnt the nets down, and the outside world took note.

Coupeville High School sophomore Hawthorne Wolfe became the first Wolf basketball player in at least a decade-plus to notch back-to-back 30+ point games, and his performance landed him some big props.

After scoring 34 against Oak Harbor on the road Dec. 4 and singing Orcas Island for 33 in Coupeville’s home opener Dec. 7, Wolfe was tabbed as an Athlete of the Week by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.

Each week during the school year, the WIAA honors male and female athletes from every level (4A-1B).

Wolfe kicked off his award-worthy week against 3A Oak Harbor, blitzing them for 15 points in the first quarter alone.

During that time, he went on a 12-0 run by himself, netting three straight three-balls, before driving hard to the hoop for a layup and free throw to get three the hard way.

Against Orcas, Wolfe exploded for 16 points in the third quarter, careening to the hoop, stoppin’ and poppin’, and driving the Viking defenders batty.

No more bus trips.

Wrapping up the road portion of their schedule, the Coupeville Middle School boys basketball teams swept a pair of games Monday while playing in Everett.

With the wins over Northshore Christian Academy, the Wolves have played five of seven games away from Whidbey.

Now, they get to close out the season with a three-game home stand, starting with a tussle Wednesday against Sultan.

After that comes match-ups with Langley (Dec. 16) and Granite Falls (Dec. 19).

How Monday’s road finale — which was two games and not three as usual, since Northshore doesn’t have a Level 3 team — played out:

Level 1:

Completing the season sweep of Northshore, the Wolves top squad rolled to a 61-33 win.

Powered by 8th grader Logan Downes, who almost played his hosts to a draw by himself, scorching the nets for 32 points, Coupeville improved to 2-5 on the season.

CMS jumped out to a 14-2 lead after one quarter of play, with four different players tickling the twine for buckets.

After that, the Wolves steadily pulled away, ringing up advantages in each quarter and scoring in double digits in each frame as well.

Downes spread out his offense, tossing in six points in the first, then adding 10, eight, and eight, scoring on a mix of field goals and free throws.

Running mate Cole White chipped in with 12 points, including netting a pair of long three-balls, while Zane Oldenstadt (8), Ryan Blouin (4), William Davidson (3), and Landon Roberts (2) put their names in the score-book as well.

Nick Guay and Hunter Bronec also saw floor time for the Wolves.

Level 2:

Coupeville’s winningest team continues to chug along, dismantling Northshore 46-26.

With the win, the Wolves sit at a fairly sparkling 5-1-1 on the season.

Up 8-4 after one, CMS stretched the lead to 23-13 at the half, then 30-20 through three quarters.

Finishing strongly, Coupeville closed to a 16-6 tune, with the points spread out among five different players.

Timothy Nitta led the way for the Wolves, rifling the net for a game-high 14, with a three-ball included, while Quinten Simpson-Pilgrim and Hurlee Bronec knocked down nine points apiece.

Hunter Bronec (7), Jack Porter (4), Johnny Porter (2), and Nathan Ginnings (1) also scored, with Mikey Robinett tearing up Northshore on the defensive end of the floor.

And we’re off.

The first full week of high school basketball is in the books, and with that brings our first look at the standings.

While none of the North Sound Conference hoops teams have played a league game yet, it’s never too early to ogle some wins and losses.

Coupeville’s varsity squads, with three games under their belt, stay busy in the coming week, with another three non-conference contests on the schedule.

Both the Wolf girls and boys travel to Friday Harbor Wednesday, host Concrete Friday, then hit the road Saturday to square off with The Bush School.

Where everyone stacks up in the very early going:
