Have something positive to say? I have an outlet for you.

The Coupeville High School girls basketball squads are playing at home Tuesday, which marks only the third time in 14 games this season we’ve been able to say that.

During the games (varsity tips at 3:30, JV at 5:00), Wolf coaches will be looking for input from you.

Yes, you.

There will be a notepad available at both games, so consider firing off a quick note and dropping your message into the red box offered.

“Our hope is that family, friends and fans are encouraged by the play of the girls,” said CHS coach David King. “If they see something they like, or just want to write a quick note to a player or players during or right after the games, it would be great for the players.

“It can be as simple as telling them great hustle. Or things like I like how you played defense or rebounded today,” he added. “Maybe there was a specific play that really impressed you; if it did, write it down for the player(s).”

The note pad is a way for the team to connect with its fan base, while providing support for the girls hoops stars, who are flying high right now.

The varsity is 10-3 overall, 5-0 in Olympic League play and will clinch its third-straight conference championship with a win, while the JV is 7-3, 3-0.

“We want to get the fans more involved,” King said. “To show the players that there is support and encouragement in the stands.”

Kailey Kellner

Kailey Kellner has the hottest shooting touch in town.

The Coupeville High School girls’ basketball squad wrapped up its semi-annual free throw shooting competition/fundraiser and the senior gunner took the top spot.

Kellner dropped in 79 of 100, edging junior Mia Littlejohn, who knocked down 70-100, but since she had a hot streak going as free throw #100 tickled the twines, she was allowed to keep shooting.

She promptly knocked down eight more in a row from the charity stripe, running her streak to 20 makes in a row, then bounced one off the rim to finish 87-109.

Kellner inherits the crown from Wynter Thorne, who won the last competition in 2015.

Lauren Rose (67), Kalia Littlejohn (66) and Kyla Briscoe (63) rounded out the top five, with Briscoe (11) and Allison Wenzel (10) joining Kellner in putting together double-digit streaks of consecutive makes.

All total, 20 Wolf girls, varsity and JV, each put up 100 attempts, raising money to aid the CHS hoops program.

Players got family, friends and fans to pledge per made free throw, or make a lump donation.

One is riding sky-high, the other is fighting for its playoff life.

With two weeks left in the regular season, the Coupeville High School basketball squads are going in opposite directions.

The Wolf girls need just one win in their final four league games to clinch a third-straight Olympic League crown, while the CHS boys sit a half game off of their conference’s final postseason slot.

Now 23-0 all-time in Olympic League play, the girls will go for the clincher at home Tuesday against last-place Klahowya.

After an unprecedented eight straight games on the road — Tuesday’s tilt will be their first home game in 45 days — the Wolf girls play five of their final six in their own gym.

The CHS boys, who came within a play of stunning league champ Port Townsend Friday night, will have to succeed on the road, as they travel off of Whidbey four of their final five games, including all three league affairs left to play.

Where things sit through Monday morning:

Olympic League girls basketball:

School League Overall
COUPEVILLE 5-0 10-3
Port Townsend 4-3 8-6
Chimacum 2-4 8-8
Klahowya 0-4 3-11

Makana Stone got her moment in the spotlight, and it paid dividends for the Whitman College women’s basketball squad.

Making her debut as a college starter Sunday, the freshman phenom and former Coupeville High School star lit a spark under the Blues, who roared out to a 10-0 lead en route to knocking off highly-ranked George Fox University.

Stone snatched four boards, scored a bucket, doled out an assist and rejected a shot in the game’s opening minutes, helping Whitman roll to an 82-74 win.

That snaps a two-game skid for the Blues and lifts them to 15-2 overall, 6-2 in the Northwest Conference.

They move back into second-place, trailing just front-runner Puget Sound (8-0).

Stone, who has been one of the first players off the bench in every game this season, got the nod as a starter on the road and responded.

She finished with five points, nine rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 23 minutes of action, including grabbing the game’s first and last rebounds.

After adding three more boards and her second block in the second quarter, Stone picked up two of her three assists at a crucial moment early in the fourth.

She fed Emily Rommel, who scored a team-high 20, on back-to-back buckets to stake Whitman to a 62-60 lead.

Through 17 games, Stone is averaging 5.0 points and 5.1 rebounds a night.

Her 87 boards put her third on the team, while she also has 15 assists, seven blocks and 11 steals.
