Sweet, sweet payback.
Avenging a narrow early-season loss, the Coupeville High School JV girls’ basketball squad caught fire Friday night, thrashing visiting Friday Harbor.
The first time the teams met, back in mid-December, the Wolverines came out on top 36-32.
This time around, it was all Wolves, all night long, as Kassie O’Neil’s pack rolled to a convincing 52-27 win.
The victory lifts CHS to 2-3 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 5-6 overall, with two games left on the schedule.
The Wolves host Orting Saturday in a non-league rumble, then travel to La Conner next Tuesday, Feb. 6 for the season finale.
Friday night Coupeville blew out to a 16-8 lead at the first break, and never relented.
A 14-2 run in the second frame pushed the margin out to 30-10 at halftime, before the Wolves stretched the advantage to 46-21 through three quarters.
Coupeville spread its offense out, with Tenley Stuurmans leading the way with a game-high 18 points.
The Wolf 8th grader, along with several of her teammates, is pulling double duty right now.
They’re wrapping up their debut high school season while also practicing for the start of middle school hoops, which opens play Feb. 8 at home against South Whidbey.
Bryley Gilbert, who slapped home most of her points in the first half Friday, finished with 14 to back up Stuurmans, while Adie Maynes and Haylee Armstrong rippled the net for eight apiece.
Capri Anter and Ava Lucero banked in a bucket each to round out the scoring, while Taylor Marrs, Chelsi Stevens, Lexis Drake, and Ari Cunningham also saw floor time for the Wolves.
