Close for a second, then the defense went to work.

Blanking host Darrington in the second quarter Friday, the Coupeville High School girls’ varsity basketball team turned a nailbiter into a blowout.

Romping to a 45-30 victory, the Wolves won for the third time in their last four games and get to 3-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 6-7 overall.

Things were tense in the early going Friday, as recent birthday girl Mia Farris knocked down a pair of early buckets to stake CHS to a slim 7-6 lead at the first break.

That was when Megan Richter’s pack of ballhawks turned up the defensive heat, using a 12-0 surge in the second to carry a 19-6 lead into the halftime break.

Five different Wolves scored during the second frame, with Madison McMillan leading the way, and everyone on the floor sharing the ball.

Once it had the advantage, Coupeville kept the pressure on.

With Teagan Calkins and Katie Marti combining to outscore Darrington in the third by themselves, CHS used a 20-11 run to put the game safely on ice.

While defense was the key, the Wolves also spread the offensive love out, with nine of 10 players notching a bucket.

Calkins finished with a team-high 12, while Haylee Armstrong (6), Farris (6), Marti (5), Danica Strong (4), McMillan (4), Lyla Stuurmans (4), Jada Heaton (2), and Tenley Stuurmans (2) also kept the scorekeeper busy, with Capri Anter rounding out the rotation.

Marti continues to move up into the stratosphere, jumping from #40 to #38 on the all-time CHS girls’ scoring chart.

Now sitting with 290 career points, the senior gunner passed Bessie Walstad (288) and tied current Wolf JV coach Scout Smith (290) Friday night.

Coupeville has a chance to jump in the league standings, as well, with two games next week.

The Wolves host Concrete Tuesday, before traveling to Orcas Island for a Friday night rumble.

No JV game in Logger Land:

Darrington doesn’t currently have a second squad, so Coupeville’s young guns had the night off.

Wolf JV savages Loggers

We may never know the final score for sure, but it was a win.

A big, big win.

Playing for the first time in a week, the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball squad crunched host Darrington Friday night, running the Loggers off their own court.

Was the final score 47-18, as the scoreboard showed?

Or 52-18, as the book has it?

Mysteries, eternal mysteries, doomed to fade into the fog of memory.

For now, just call it a victory, one which lifts the Wolves to 4-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 5-4 overall, and hands the CHS young guns their third consecutive W.

It was a game dominated by the visitors, as Coupeville dropped in the first 13 points to open things, before eventually settling for a 13-2 lead after one quarter, and a 27-9 advantage at the half.

From there, the Wolves continued to bang away, caressing Darrington’s unique backboards with their picture-perfect shots.

Five different CHS players drained a three-ball, with nine of 12 scoring on the night.

We’re going with the 52 points shown in the books — this is Coupeville Sports, after all, and we’re unabashedly homers — with Riley Lawless leading the way with eight.

Mahkai Myles (7), Easton Green (7), Kyle McCrimmon (6), Malachi Somes (5), Carson Grove (5), Davin Houston (5), Sage Arends (5), and Liam Blas (4) round out the scoring in this scenario, with Nathan Coxsey, Khanor Jump, and Jayden Little also seeing floor time.

The Wolf young guns will sit out next Tuesday’s home games with Concrete, as the Lions are having trouble fielding a second unit, but return to action Jan. 24 when CHS travels to Orcas Island.

He’s on a tear.

Coupeville High School junior Finn Price, the school’s lone swimmer once again this winter, continues to tap the wall at a torrid pace.

So far, he’s qualified for districts in every event he’s swam this season.

After hitting the necessary mark in the 100 backstroke recently, Price added that to his previous qualifications in the 50, 100, 200, and 500 free, as well as the 200 medley and 100 breaststroke.

He has also swum a state meet-qualifying time in the medley relay, where he teamed up with athletes from South Whidbey High School.

Since neither CHS or SWHS has a swim program, Price and the Falcons train, travel, and compete with Kamiak during the regular season, before going their own way for the postseason.

Time to put the rally hats on.

A combination of injuries and family moves is forcing Coupeville High School baseball coaches to scramble even before the season arrives.

The Wolves have advanced to the state tourney in back-to-back seasons but are “in danger of not having enough kids for a team this year,” said head man Steve Hilborn.

A team meeting has been set for 1:30 PM Wednesday to give coaches a better idea of how many players may be available.

It will be held in the health room inside the entrance to the CHS gym.

For Hilborn and his staff, the push to save the campaign is underway.

“Two straight years to state and then we can’t even make a team?” he said. “Doesn’t seem possible.”

Action on the court, action off the court.

The pics seen above and below capture Wolf basketball players, and their support crews, in moments where the ball is not flying skyward towards the hoop.

Look around; you never know when something may be happening.
