Another season in the books.

The Coupeville High School boys’ basketball program wrapped its eighth season under Brad Sherman, and its 108th overall, with an awards banquet Friday night.

They made a positive impression on rival coaches.

Four Coupeville High School basketball players were honored Tuesday when Northwest 2B/1B League hoops gurus selected the All-Conference teams.

On the boys’ side of things, junior Chase Anderson was tabbed as a First-Team selection, while senior Hurlee Bronec earned Second-Team status.

Anderson led all Coupeville players, boy or girl, in scoring this season, rattling the rims for 339 points.

Bronec, in his first full season as a varsity hoops player, emerged as a tower of power in the paint, especially in the second half of the season and the playoffs.

For the girls, junior Teagan Calkins popped up as a Second-Team pick, with senior Mia Farris receiving Honorable Mention status.

Calkins developed a deadly eye from three-ball territory, and led the Wolves in scoring, topped by a 24-point performance against Concrete.

Farris was a lethal two-way player, providing a spark at both ends of the floor as a shot-maker and shot-denier.

Seniors Ruthie Rozema of Mount Vernon Christian and Brayden Pedroza of La Conner were tabbed as league MVPs, while Haley Cruz Winchell of Orcas Island and Lance Lopez of La Conner were named Coach of the Year winners.

The Orcas Island girls and MVC boys received the team sportsmanship awards.

The players come and go, but the numbers hunt is eternal.

Coupeville High School boys’ basketball has played 108 varsity seasons, having capped the most-recent campaign with a narrow playoff loss to Auburn Adventist Academy Thursday night.

Now, the seniors depart, with their point totals frozen in time, while those with eligibility left can begin to plan for next season.

Junior Chase Anderson heads into the offseason sitting at #36 on the all-time scoring chart, having reached 599 points after three seasons on the hardwood.

Will he make a run for the top 10 as a senior? Only time will tell.

For now, here’s where things sit through today, with active players listed in bold.

With the usual caveat — with some of the oldest scorebooks lost to time, we will likely never have a truly complete tally.

But what’s missing — with the exception of Tom Sahli’s sophomore season in 1951-1952 — is from the days of low-scoring games and would not greatly change the upper part of the chart.

So, there’s that.

No late game angina this time around.

After pulling out five-point wins twice against Orcas Island this season, the Coupeville High School varsity boys’ basketball team decided to be much more emphatic Tuesday night.

So, defending their home court in style, the Wolves used a second-half surge to blow open a tense affair, claiming a 57-40 win.

The victory, coming in a loser-out District 1/2 playoff bout, lifts CHS to 9-13 and keeps alive the dream of returning to the state tourney.

Brad Sherman’s squad needs two more wins to get back to the big dance, with the first of those coming Thursday at home against Auburn Adventist Academy.

That game is set to tip at 3:30 PM, after the Wolf girls host Orcas Island at 1:45.

Knock off their private school foes and Coupeville’s boys return to their home floor Saturday to face either La Conner or Mount Vernon Christian with a ticket to state up for grabs.

While they need three wins in five days, the Wolves focused fully on taking the first step without looking too far ahead.

As expected, the third matchup with the Vikings started as a donnybrook, then got intense from there.

The teams traded buckets in the first quarter, with Hunter Bronec knocking down a huge three-ball and Chase Anderson cartwheeling to the hoop for a layup to stake CHS to an 11-10 lead at the break.

The second quarter opened with a bang, as Malachi Somes went coast-to-coast, dropping his shoulder and staggering his defender as he slapped home a crowd-pleasing bucket.

Neither team could pull away, exchanging one-point leads, until the Battlin’ Bronec Brothers delivered a little razzle and some dazzle to cap the half.

Hurlee Bronec netted a free throw to forge an 18-18 tie, before twin terror Hunter Bronec buried another three-ball right before the halftime buzzer.

Up 21-18 coming out of halftime, the Wolves pushed the lead to 27-22, then hit their one and only dry spell of the second half.

Orcas crashed hard to the hoop on back-to-back plays, drawing fouls and converting buckets, and a 9-2 surge gave the visitors their last lead of the night.

While the Vikings might have felt some positive vibes in the air with a 31-29 advantage, all that vanished as Coupeville took control.

Hurlee Bronec twirled through the paint for a pair of pretty buckets, packaged around a sweet three-ball from the left side by Camden Glover, and things had changed.

Coupeville closed the third on a 10-0 sprint, staking itself to a 39-31 lead, and didn’t let up as the fourth frame began.

Glover and Hurlee Bronec both pulled off three-point plays the hard way, slicing up the defense to score, followed by converting a free throw, and Orcas ran out of answers.

The Vikings began to clang shot after shot, with the Wolves dominating on the boards, and once Jack Porter flipped home a reverse layup while floating through the air, the game was decided.

“I believe we will win,” bellowed the next generation of Wolf hoops stars, as they kept the noise and the funk going in the stands, and down on the court their elders backed up their boasts.

Coupeville closed the playoff win with a final 8-3 surge, with six of those points coming at the foul line as the Vikings tried to slow down the crawl of time.

Ultimately it didn’t work, which is why Orcas will start thinking about spring sports Wednesday, while the Wolves will prep for another playoff clash.

All seven CHS players who hit the floor Tuesday scored, with three netting double-digits.

Hunter Bronec popped for a team-high 15, while Hurlee Bronec banked in 13 and Glover knocked down 10.

Anderson (9), Porter (4), Landon Roberts (4), and Somes (2) rounded out the scoring, with Anderson moving from #40 to #39 on the CHS boys’ career scoring chart, which covers 1917-2025.

The Wolf junior sits with 585 points heading into the matchup with Auburn Adventist Academy, having passed ’50s legend Pat Clark (583) Tuesday night.

Now it’s a true winning streak.

Holding off a feisty, free throw-friendly Orcas Island squad Friday, the Coupeville High School varsity boys’ basketball squad claimed its third straight victory.

Led by an explosive game from senior big man Hurlee Bronec, the Wolves escaped with a 52-47 triumph on the road and a season sweep of the always-tough Vikings.

Now 5-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 6-10 overall, Brad Sherman’s squad heads into a huge week, with clashes against conference leaders Mount Vernon Christian and La Conner up next on the schedule.

The Wolves, who won despite suffering a huge disparity at the foul line — Orcas hit 21 of 26 free throws to Coupeville’s 5-10 performance — led from start to finish Friday night.

Hurlee Bronec, who has been playing like a beast in the paint in 2025, poured in 11 points in the first quarter to spark CHS to an 18-15 lead.

From there, Coupeville used a 12-2 surge in the second — this time powered by the other Battlin’ Bronec Brother, one Hunter — to push the lead out to 30-17 at the half.

While Orcas cut the deficit down to 43-35 through three quarters, the Vikings were never able to catch the Wolves.

Hurlee Bronec and Chase Anderson combined for all 13 of Coupeville’s points in the third frame, while Malachi Somes netted a huge three-ball in the fourth to keep Orcas at bay.

Malachi Somes hit a huge shot in the win over Orcas.

The Wolves got big contributions from all eight players to hit the hardwood, with Hurlee Bronec leading the way with a game-high 21 points.

That pushes him to 199 points for his CHS varsity career, leaving him one point shy of becoming the 141st Wolf boy to crack the 200-point club for a program which launched in 1917.

Anderson banked in nine, with Hunter Bronec (8), Landon Roberts (4), Camden Glover (4), Somes (3), and Jack Porter (3) also scoring.

Johnny Porter rounded out the rotation, bringing intensity to a fired-up Wolf defense.

While Hurlee Bronec is on the cusp of joining the 200-point club, Anderson, currently in his junior season, continues to work his way up the career scoring chart.

He stepped on to the floor Friday as the #50 scorer in CHS boys’ history and departed it at #46, having passed Cody Peters (518), JJ Marti (520), and Gary Faris (524), while tying Brad Miller (526).
