Two veterans and a rising star.
As we sit here on the eve of a new basketball season, the Coupeville High School girls’ hoops squad is lighting up social media with the announcement of its captains for the 2025-2026 campaign.
Seniors Danica Strong and Teagan Calkins will join with sophomore Tenley Stuurmans to lead the way for the Wolves, who open play Tuesday night at home against archrival South Whidbey.
The CHS girls tip at 5:15 PM, with the varsity boys set to clash with the Falcons at 7:00.
Teagan Calkins hangs out with her fan club.
Calkins, who led the Wolves in scoring as a junior, starts the new season with 242 career varsity points, just five shy of cracking the top 50 scorers in program history.
Her fellow captains made their CHS varsity hoops debuts last season, with both following in the footsteps of family members.
Strong, who began her high school hardwood career in Whatcom County, is the daughter of Danette Beckley, currently #47 all-time on the Wolf girls’ career scoring chart with 249 points.
Meanwhile Tenley Stuurmans is the younger sister of Lyla Stuurmans (#45 with 257 points), the only girl in school history to play five seasons of varsity basketball.
Tenley Stuurmans hits the jets.
