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).

New year, old problem.

The calendar has rolled into 2025, but a season-long cold spell at the free throw line continues to haunt the Coupeville High School varsity boys’ basketball team.

Way down the road in Wahkiakum Saturday, the Wolves netted just six of 18 at the charity stripe, leaving way too many points on the rim in what became a nail-biting 60-59 loss.

The non-conference defeat, coming against a dangerous foe, drops Coupeville to 2-8 on the season.

Brad Sherman’s squad still has plenty to play for, however, with eight of its next nine games coming against Northwest 2B/1B League rivals.

The Wolves, 1-1 in conference play, travel to Friday Harbor next Tuesday, Jan. 7, before hosting La Conner in a Friday night rumble.

The Wolves return to their own gym Jan. 10 for a major conference rumble with La Conner.

While Coupeville’s win/loss record isn’t what had been hoped for, five of the eight losses have been by single digits.

Heading into the heart of conference play, free throws loom huge.

The Wolves have consistently gotten to the line more than their rivals this season but have largely failed to take advantage of that advantage.

Saturday was a perfect example, with CHS getting to the stripe 18 times, while Wahkiakum only had 10 free throws, netting five.

Coupeville shot 33% at the line, in a contest where one made shot sends the game to overtime, and two gives the visitors a win.

Even with their free throw issues, the Wolves kept the game close until the final moments.

Chase Anderson and Hurlee Bronec combined to score 14 in the first quarter as CHS played its hosts to a 17-17 stalemate.

Down 31-29 at the half, the Wolves surged in the third quarter, with six different players tallying points during a 20-12 run.

That staked Coupeville to a 49-43 lead heading into the fourth, but Wahkiakum put together its own 17-7 streak to turn the tide of the game.

Trailing by four with mere seconds to play, the Wolves got a three-ball from Anderson to slash the deficit to one, but time ran out on the guys in red and black.

Anderson finished with a game-high 23 points, while twin towers Hurlee and Hunter Bronec both banked in 10 points in support.

Landon Roberts (6), Jack Porter (5), Malachi Somes (3), and Camden Glover (2) also scored.

Both of the Battlin’ Bronec Brothers hit personal milestones in the first game of 2025.

With his 10 points, Hunter reaches exactly 150 for his varsity career, while Hurlee cracks the 100-point club, sitting with 107 and counting.

This one slipped away.

Despite leading for much of the game Friday, the Coupeville High School varsity boys’ basketball squad couldn’t quite seal the deal.

That allowed visiting Sultan to make off with a 55-47 non-conference victory, running its winning streak to four after opening the season with seven straight losses.

Coupeville heads into the Christmas break with a 2-5 record and will look to kick off its own winning streak with a trip to Central Washington University Dec. 27-28.

The Wolves will play Toledo and Kittitas on their Eastern Washington jaunt, before starting 2025 with trips to Wahkiakum and Friday Harbor, not playing in the CHS gym again until Jan. 10.

Friday’s battle royal with Sultan started in favor of the Wolves, with Johnny Porter knocking down a jumper before Hunter Bronec and Camden Glover buried back-to-back three-balls.

Six different Wolves scored in the first frame as CHS built a 16-9 lead fueled by sharing the ball and playing solid defense.

While the “D stayed strong, Coupeville’s offense went into a bit of a deep freeze after that, with single digit scoring in both the second and third quarters.

Still, the Wolves clung to the lead, holding on to a 23-22 advantage at the half, then getting the first bucket of the second half on a spinning layup from Hurlee Bronec.

Sultan finally grabbed the lead for the first time midway through the third, using a 7-0 tear to get ahead 29-25.

Making the immediate counter, Coupeville went off for its own run, with Chase Anderson hitting a fadeaway and a three-ball before zipping a pass to Hunter Bronec to set-up another trey.

Unfortunately, Sultan had the counter-counter, surging back ahead at 36-32 exiting the third, then holding tough in the fourth.

Anderson banked in a bucket at the shot clock buzzer to cut the lead to 43-38, but the Turks put the game away in dramatic fashion, ripping off four baskets in about 45 seconds to make it 51-38.

The game’s final moments belonged largely to Coupeville, with Anderson outscoring Sultan 9-4 by himself to close the contest. But time stops for no man, and the game clock hit 0:00 too fast for a full comeback.

With his game-high 25 points, Anderson becomes the 66th Wolf boy to crack the 400-point club across the last 108 seasons.

The CHS junior heads to Eastern Washington sitting with 402 career points and counting.

Hunter Bronec banked in eight points Friday to back Anderson, with Hurlee Bronec (5), Glover (3), Jack Porter (2), Johnny Porter (2), and Landon Roberts (2) also scoring.

Malachi Somes rounded out the Wolves to see floor time in the final home game of 2024.
