Next up.

Coupeville High School boys’ basketball lost a generational player to graduation, as Chase Anderson bowed out after making it all the way up to #7 on the career scoring chart.

With Camden Glover (#80) and others also departing as part of the CHS Class of 2026, the leading active scorer heading into this winter is senior Davin Houston, who has tallied 121 points and counting.

After that it’s a pretty big drop off, with current junior Carson Grove sitting with 32 varsity points to his credit.

Which just means it’s time for a new crop of Wolves to start making their mark on the chart, which covers 1917 to present.

That chart, which is pretty solid from say 1950 on, with the exception of Tom Sahli’s sophomore season in 1951-1952 (my Holy Grail…), is below, with active players listed in bold:

 

Logan Downes – 1305

They met in the middle.

Coupeville and Medical Lake, two high schools separated by 319 miles, convened in Leavenworth Saturday for a football game in which both teams were far away from home.

And while the contest was close in the early going, the Cardinals pulled away from the Wolves thanks to forcing four turnovers en route to a 33-7 victory.

The non-conference loss, coming against a school which Coupeville has little to no history with, drops Bennett Richter’s squad to 1-5 on the season heading into the regular season finale.

That’s set to go down on Friday Harbor next Friday, October 23, and will determine the Wolves postseason status.

Win and CHS earns a season split with the Wolverines (4-2) and will force a tiebreaker mini game to decide which 2B school from the Northwest 2B/1B League advances to the playoffs.

Lose and it’s a wrap for Coupeville, barring coaches and administrators choosing to pick up a crossover game with another team eliminated from postseason contention.

Saturday’s clash was marked by turnovers, with the Wolves losing two fumbles — one of which was brought back for a Medical Lake touchdown — and two interceptions.

On the defensive side of the ball, Coupeville senior Davin Houston made his presence felt, picking off a pass and recovering a fumble to keep his team in the game.

Medical Lake, after opening the scoring with that fumble recovery touchdown in the first quarter, added two more scores in the second frame on runs.

Up 20-0 at the half, the Cardinals tacked on six more points in the third, before Coupeville finally got on the board early in the fourth.

Freshman quarterback Kamden Ratcliff lofted a 24-yard scoring strike to receiver Carson Grove, with the latter hitting paydirt for the first time this season.

The young Wolf gunslinger added a successful PAT kick to round out Coupeville’s scoring, before Medical Lake, now 2-5 on the season, iced the game with a final touchdown on a 32-yard rush to daylight.

What a difference a game makes.

Three days ago, the Coupeville High School baseball squad delivered its worst performance of the season. Jump forward to Tuesday and everything was back in order, however.

And far more than that, as three Wolf hurlers combined for a 13-strikeout no-hitter and the batters went bonkers in a 25-0 win on the road in Concrete.

The blowout five-inning victory snaps a brief two-game skid for CHS, lifting Steve Hilborn’s squad to 6-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 8-4 overall.

It also keeps them a game back of Mount Vernon Christian (7-0) in the race for a conference crown, with a rematch against Concrete set for Thursday in Cow Town.

Saturday the Wolves struggled in all aspects of the game while dropping a non-conference bout at Forks. Against the Lions, everything was clicking again.

Camden Glover, Coop Cooper, and Malachi Somes combined to shut Concrete’s offense down, giving up just four walks and not surrendering a single base knock to their hosts.

Glover and Cooper each picked up six strikeouts in two innings of work, while Somes, making his mound debut for the Wolves, added a 13th K, then ended the game by inducing a double play.

At the plate everything went Coupeville’s way, as the visitors tore the hide off the ball en route to collecting a season-high 20 hits to go with 10 walks.

Four runs in the first got things started, another four in the second stretched the lead out, then CHS tacked on nine more tallies in the third and another eight in the fourth.

The Wolves came roaring out of the gate, with Leo Rodriguez lashing a leadoff single and Carson Grove walking.

That set up Chase Anderson, who delivered the first mammoth blow of the afternoon, smashing a three-run inside the park home run to left to set the tone.

Tack on an Aiden O’Neill triple, followed by Cooper bringing him around to score with a hot grounder, and it was 4-0 before Concrete’s fans could even get settled into their seats.

From there the Wolves continued to rain down unholy pain on the Lions, with Grove and Glover delivering RBI-rich hits in the second before coming back around to do the same in the third.

That frame featured not one, but two CHS players picking up RBIs in unique fashion, as both Anderson and Somes were drilled by wayward pitches with the bases loaded.

Up 17-0 heading into the fourth, there didn’t seem to be much more the Wolves could do that they hadn’t already done.

Not so fast, as Grove belted an inside the park grand slam to really make the scoreboard pop.

Overall, nine different Wolves collected a hit on the day, with 11 reaching base.

And the scorekeeper’s fingers? Probably buried deep in a bucket of ice right about now.

 

Tuesday stats:

Chase Anderson — One single, one home run, one walk
Coop Cooper — Three singles
Camden Glover — One single, one double, one walk
Carson Grove — Three singles, one home run, one walk

Aiden O’Neill — One single, one triple

Carson Grove (and his CHS teammates) sacrificed their bodies for a win Saturday afternoon. (Jackie Saia photo)

Pain is temporary, victories are forever.

Winning in a most unusual manner Saturday, the Coupeville High School baseball team beat visiting East Jefferson 4-3 in extra innings thanks to a walk off hit batsman.

And while sophomore catcher Carson Grove delivered the win by getting plunked with the bases full in the bottom of the eighth inning, he was the fourth(!) Wolf to get nailed in just that frame, and seventh(!) in the game.

With the non-conference win, the Wolves avenge an earlier loss to East Jefferson, finish off a 3-1 week, get to 6-2 on the season, and head into Spring Break on a high.

Coupeville is off until Apr. 13, when it travels down Island to clash with next-door neighbor South Whidbey.

The week-plus break should allow the Wolves to heal up from all their bruises and any lingering injuries, with the hope the bats have warmed up by their return to the diamond.

Base knocks were in short order Saturday, and CHS went into the bottom of the seventh trailing 2-0.

Which just meant it was time for the rally caps to come out on the first truly spring-like game day the Coupeville diamond squads have enjoyed on the prairie this season.

Aiden O’Neill opened his team’s last set of at-bats by being plunked, before moving up to third thanks to a passed ball and an East Jefferson error.

The Wolves only manufactured four hits on the day, but Grove delivered one at a key moment, lacing an RBI single to center to plate O’Neill and finally get his team on the board.

The speedy backstop pilfered second base and came in to tie the game up at 2-2 thanks to another error by the unraveling visitors, but East Jefferson escaped, barely.

That sent the game to extra frames, with both teams scoring in the eighth.

A walk and a long double plated the go-ahead run for the visitors, but Wolf hurler Camden Glover closed out a strong performance on the mound by forcing a pop fly to first baseman Riley Lawless.

That set up the most improbable of finishes in the bottom of the eighth, as the Wolves sent five batters to the plate, got all five aboard, and brought two in to score.

Trent Thule got whacked by a wayward pitch to kick things off, followed by Glover lacing a single. After that, it was pain, sweet pain.

Coop Cooper got plunked to juice the bags, before O’Neill wore a pitch to force in the tying run, and Grove capped the HBP parade, absorbing one more jolt to set off the prairie victory celebration.

The strong finish more than made up for a slow start, as Coupeville struggled a bit in the early going.

East Jefferson pushed across a score in the first and another in the third, while the home team seemed stuck in neutral.

The Wolves had two runners aboard in the first after Glover socked a double, but had a runner nailed at home. An inning later, CHS again put two on base, only to see both of them picked off.

The third, fourth, and fifth went by too quickly for CHS, with just a Lawless walk, though the sixth provided an intriguing hint of things to come, as Leo Rodriguez and Thule got smacked by pitches that got away from the East Jefferson pitcher.

Glover did his part, whiffing 10 Rivals across eight innings of work, and kept things close while chucking 106 pitches.

After that, all the Wolves needed was a little luck … and a high tolerance for pain.

 

Saturday stats:

Coop Cooper — One walk
Camden Glover — One single, one double, one walk
Carson Grove — Two singles
Riley Lawless — One walk
Aiden O’Neill — Three walks
Leo Rodriguez — Two walks
Trent Thule — Two walks
Chris Zenz — One walk
