Diamond men duel with big city boys

The final score doesn’t tell all.

While Meridian tacked on some runs late to make its 16-7 win Saturday over visiting Coupeville seem more lopsided, the diamond clash was mostly a back-and-forth affair.

And while the non-conference loss drops the Wolf baseball squad to 1-1 on the season, delivering a strong effort against a traditional power, especially one repping a larger student body, is a true positive for Steve Hilborn’s team.

Coupeville, which kicks off Northwest 2B/1B League play next week with a home-and-away series against Friday Harbor, got on the board first Saturday.

The Wolves picked up four of their 10 walks in the top of the first, with Carson Grove gliding home to score on a passed ball.

While Meridian responded with five runs of its own in the bottom half of the frame, CHS picked up two tallies in the second to cut things back to 5-3.

Free passes were again key to Coupeville’s offensive efforts, with Chris Zenz, Chase Anderson, and Grove showing off eagle eyes at the plate.

Camden Glover capped things with an RBI single, one of three base-knocks the senior had on the day.

Off to a sizzlin’ start, he’s racked up seven hits across just the first two games.

From there, both teams picked up a run, before Meridian pushed five runs across in both the fourth and fifth innings to widen the gap.

Even as the game threatened to slip away, the Wolves continued to scrap for runs, however, scoring three in the top of the fifth.

Leo Rodriguez smacked two hits Saturday in Bellingham.

The big blow was a two-run double to left field off the bat of Leo Rodriguez, as he put together one of his best performances in a Wolf uniform.

On the mound, Coupeville split duties between hurlers Coop Cooper, Glover, Grove, and Anderson, with the latter making his first appearance on the baseball diamond since his sophomore season.

Now a senior, Anderson transitioned to track and field as a junior, earning two medals at the state meet, and he competed in this year’s opening track meet Wednesday in La Conner.

Saturday, he picked up two strikeouts in an inning of work, while Cooper (5), Glover (1), and Grove (2) made it 10 K’s for the team.

 

Saturday stats:

Chase Anderson — One walk
Camden Glover — Three singles, one walk
Carson Grove — Two walks
Riley Lawless — Two walks
Leo Rodriguez — One single, one double, one walk
Killian Shaw — One single
Trent Thule — Two walks
Chris Zenz — One walk

Camden Glover is already in mid-season form.

Kicking off a new high school baseball season in style Wednesday, the Coupeville senior piled up 13 strikeouts as a pitcher and four hits as a batter, sparking the Wolf varsity to an 8-6 home win against Oak Harbor’s JV.

Playing on a dank, dark, cold day on the prairie — or “spring,” as it’s known in these parts — Cow Town’s diamond men, repping a 2B school, rallied twice to take down a squad from a 3A school.

With head coach Steve Hilborn calling the shots for a fourth season, the Wolves opened the game with a bang, as leadoff hitter Carson Grove led off the bottom of the first with a triple to right field.

Two batters later he scampered home, sent there by the first of Glover’s four base knocks, and CHS starting pitcher Coop Cooper had an early lead to work with.

While Oak Harbor scraped out a pair of runs in the second thanks to three walks and an error, Coupeville hung tough, eventually tying the game at 2-2 in the fourth, before going off for three runs in both the fifth and sixth to claim the lead for good.

The Wolves knotted things up by putting together four walks in the fourth, with Avery Eelkema getting plunked and Grove forcing in the run with a bases-loaded free pass.

In the fifth inning, walks to Cooper and Chris Zenz, combined with another hit from Glover and a key RBI groundout off the bat of Aiden Tingley turned out to be big.

Coupeville eked out 10 walks on the day, with Grove and Killian Shaw getting aboard in the sixth before Glover and Riley Lawless delivered back-to-back RBI singles to cap the scoring.

Oak Harbor had two runners on base in the top of the seventh, but Glover emphatically closed things out by delivering his 13th K for the game’s final out.

Cooper, who pitched the game’s first two innings, and Glover combined for 19 strikeouts, while surrendering just a single hit.

Fresh off the win, Coupeville will go back to enjoying practice for a bit, with game #2, a road trip to Bellingham to play Meridian not scheduled until Mar. 21.

 

Wednesday stats:

Coop Cooper — One single, one walk
Avery Eelkema — One single, one walk
Camden Glover — Four singles
Carson Grove — One triple, two walks
Riley Lawless — One single, one walk
Leo Rodriguez — One walk
Killian Shaw— One walk
Aiden Tingley — Two walks
Chris Zenz — One walk

Playoff loss brings season to a close

It’s hard to fight from behind all night.

That well-worn bit of wisdom bit the Coupeville High School varsity boys’ basketball squad hard Tuesday night, as the Wolves were eliminated from the District 1/2 playoffs with a 59-45 loss on Orcas Island.

The defeat drops CHS to 7-13, and Brad Sherman’s road warriors lose five players, including four starters, to graduation.

Wolf seniors Camden Glover, Aiden O’Neill, Easton Green, Chase Anderson, and Malachi Somes reached the end of their run, with Anderson hunched on the end of the bench in the final quarter, an ice bag clamped on his wrist.

Tuesday’s score is a bit deceptive.

Throw out the second quarter, and it’s a one-bucket game.

But they don’t let you do that, so a 21-9 Orcas surge across an eight-minute span proved fatal for a scrappy Wolf pack which was otherwise right there with the Vikings.

Coupeville’s one, and only lead, came at 2-0, as the Wolves broke the press right off the top and fed the ball to Somes for a quick layup.

But things got more difficult after that, with Orcas bolting out to a 10-4 lead and never letting the visitors get fully back into the game.

A sweet jumper in the paint off the fingertips of Davin Houston and a three-ball from O’Neill — set up by a nice kick-out by Carson Grove — pulled Coupeville to within 10-9 at the first break, but then things took a fatal turn.

The Wolves ended up beating Orcas 8-4 in the three-ball shoot-off, but the Vikings hit two daggers from long distance early in the second quarter to bust things wide open with a 12-0 run to start the second frame.

Anderson singed the nets on a three-ball to finally stop the bleeding, but the Vikings pulled off back-to-back three-point plays the hard way to carry a 31-18 lead in at the half.

O’Neill knocked down one of his four treys to kick off the third, getting the deficit back down to 10, but it wasn’t to be, as Orcas responded with a 9-0 run to stretch things back out to 40-21.

From there, the Wolves dug down deep, even after losing Anderson, who hit the floor hard late in the third, and fought all the way until the final buzzer.

The two teams finished in a 16-16 deadlock across the third quarter, with Orcas only taking the fourth by a razor-thin 12-11 margin.

Houston, a springy ball of energy who will be Coupeville’s leading active scorer headed into next season, finished his junior campaign strongly, pumping in a pair of three-balls and a pair of free throws in the fourth quarter.

O’Neill paced the Wolves with a team-high 14, with Houston and Anderson each rattling the rim for 10 points in support.

Somes (6), Glover (3), and Green (2) also scored, with Liam Blas, Riley Lawless, and Grove rounding out the rotation.

Before exiting, Anderson reached one final personal milestone, passing ’70s icon Bill Riley (934 points) to move into 7th place all-time on the CHS boys’ career scoring chart for a program in its 109th season.

He finishes with back-to-back seasons of 300+ points and tallied 943 across four seasons of varsity ball.

 

Final season scoring stats:

Chase Anderson – 344
Camden Glover – 236
Davin Houston – 118
Aiden O’Neill – 118
Malachi Somes – 68
Carson Grove – 32
Riley Lawless – 27
Easton Green – 23
Liam Blas – 16
Mahkai Myles – 12
Sage Arends – 10

Wolves run Braves off the floor

Balance. All about the balance.

With eight players scoring Friday, and three hitting for double-digits, the Coupeville High School varsity boys’ basketball squad ran visiting La Conner off the floor.

With a 66-36 win on Senior Night, the Wolves get to 4-5 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 7-10 overall.

Next up is the regular season finale Feb. 6, on the road at Friday Harbor, then the start of the double-elimination District 1/2 tourney Feb. 12.

That royal rumble features seven schools fighting for two tickets to state, with the Wolves learning their path when the bracket is released the day after the regular season ends.

Friday night an old rivalry wrote a new chapter, and this tale featured Coupeville (almost) leading from start to finish.

Technically La Conner forged a pair of ties in the first quarter, knotting things up at 3-3 and 7-7, but the Braves never led and never really threatened to do so either.

Coupeville closed the opening quarter with back-to-back buckets from Chase Anderson and Camden Glover to shatter that last tie, before pulling away for good in the second quarter.

CHS senior Aiden O’Neill, a quiet warrior who has bravely fought through multiple injuries across the last four years, banked in a rebound to crack the 100-point career scoring club and set the Wolves off on their game-busting run.

From there, Glover and Anderson traded baskets, with the former shredding the defense in the paint and the latter rampaging from end to end, often after snagging key steals.

Up 33-16 at the half, Coupeville saw its advantage whittled down to 37-26 midway through the third but never blinked.

Davin Houston tickled the twines with a silky three-ball from the left side — Coupeville’s only trey on the night — and Brad Sherman’s squad closed the quarter on a 14-4 surge.

Included in that run was a bucket from Anderson which pushed him up and over the 900-point mark, making him just the ninth Wolf boy to do so across 109 seasons of CHS basketball.

The fourth quarter was an eight-minute highlight reel, as the Wolves continued to pour in buckets, with many of them set up by pinpoint passes.

Anderson was wheeling and dealing, while Glover launched a floor-length lob which hit O’Neill in mid-stride for a breakaway bucket.

Putting together the kind of balanced book every coach loves to see, Coupeville got a game-high 22 points from Glover, 20 from Anderson, and 10 from Houston.

O’Neill (6), Easton Green (4), Carson Grove (2), Malachi Somes (1), and Liam Blas (1) rounded out the attack, with Riley Lawless and Nathan Coxsey also seeing floor time for the Wolves.
