The summer hoops grind continues.

Coupeville High School boys’ basketball players traveled North earlier this week to take part in the Blaine Border Bash.

While there the Wolves squared off with teams from Stanwood, Burlington-Edison, Blaine, and Squalicum.

“Played really tough against some good squads!” said CHS coach Brad Sherman.

Take your basketball and go East, young man.

Summer is prime time for looking ahead, and seeing what next season’s roster might look like.

So that’s what Coupeville High School coaches did this week, as they scooped up a collection of players and headed off to the other side of the state for the Connell Shootout.

While spending three days in Eastern Washington, Wolf boys’ hoops stars played eight games in a 48-hour span.

Foes included Willapa Valley, Columbia Burbank, Warden, East Valley, Oroville, Othello, Warden, and the host school.

As he headed back to Whidbey, still abuzz after the experience, CHS coach Brad Sherman was philosophical.

“Some wins, some losses, a lot of growth as a team,” he said “Exactly what you want out of summer hoops.”

The Wolves share dinner with players from league rival Mount Vernon Christian.

They represented.

Coupeville High School landed three All-Conference honorees when Northwest 2B/1B League baseball coaches tabbed the best players of the spring.

Wolf senior Landon Roberts and junior Camden Glover were picked as First-Team All-League selections, with junior Coop Cooper earning Second-Team status.

The veteran trio were leaders on a very-young CHS hardball squad which went 6-13 overall, 5-7 in league play.

All three pitched for the Wolves, while also manning other positions when they weren’t on the mound.

Roberts and Glover both did stints at catcher for a program which only had 11 players this season, as well as playing in the infield.

When Cooper wasn’t chucking strikes, he was also an active infielder, with all three standing tall at the plate, providing an offensive spark for Steve Hilborn’s squad.

Glover led CHS with a .380 batting average, 18 RBI, and six doubles, while Roberts hit .356 with a team-high 21 base hits.

On the mound, Glover (66), Cooper (61), and Roberts (54) paced the Wolves in strikeouts, with Cooper leading the team in starts.

Camden Glover (17) and Coop Cooper helped anchor a CHS baseball team which was short on players this season.

Landon Roberts exited with a bang.

The Coupeville High School senior collected three of his team’s seven awards Wednesday when Wolf baseball capped its season with a banquet.

Roberts was tabbed as the Defensive Player of the Year and the Swiss Army Knife Award winner, while also being honored for playing hardball all four years of his high school run.

Joining him as award winners were Camden Glover (Offensive Player of the Year), Aiden O’Neill (Wolf Pack Leader), Riley Lawless (Most Improved) and Leo Rodriguez (Future Prospect).

Baseball, which is the first CHS spring sports team to hold a banquet, finished 6-13 overall, 5-7 in Northwest 2B/1B League play.

The highlight of the season for the Wolves was a point where they reeled off six wins in an eight-game span at midseason.

One team is playing for a league title, the other for a strong finish to a challenging season.

Mount Vernon Christian and Coupeville High School’s baseball squads are trending in opposite direction this season, with the Hurricanes soaring and the Wolves rebuilding.

But Tuesday’s tilt was still a fairly close one, with MVC eventually slipping away for a 5-0 win on the mainland.

The loss drops Coupeville to 5-6 in Northwest 2B/1B League play (the ‘Canes are 10-1), and 6-12 overall heading into what will be their season finale Thursday afternoon.

Having been eliminated from playoff contention, the Wolves will wrap things up with a Senior Night game — honoring Landon Roberts and Jesus Madrigal — with the first pitch set for 4:00 PM.

The Wolves can also throw a wrinkle into the chase for a league title if they upend MVC Thursday, with the private school diamond men clinging to a one-game lead over Friday Harbor (9-2) in the battle for a banner.

Tuesday’s rumble was a pitcher’s duel, with Wolf junior Camden Glover whiffing eight and walking just a single batter.

But the Wolves failed to generate much heat of their own on the offensive side of the ball, limited to two base knocks and a walk.

Mount Vernon starting pitcher Carson Wilms retired the first 11 batters he faced, with Glover finally breaking through with a two-out single in the top of the fourth.

Other than that, the Wolves only burst of activity at the plate came in the sixth, when Chris Zenz walked and Landon Roberts poked a single.

But, with two runners aboard, Coupeville left them stranded, ending the frame on a strikeout and flyout.

The Hurricanes netted the only two runs they would need in the bottom of the first, then added two more tallies in the third and a final one in the sixth.

Camden Glover rips a hit.
