Coupeville High School basketball players are spearheading an annual toy drive this weekend.

The Wolves host home games Friday (Orcas Island) and Saturday (Morton-White Pass) and will be accepting unwrapped gifts to be given to Holiday House North, which serves families in Oak Harbor and Coupeville.

It’s a competition as well, as the CHS girls’ and boys’ hoops stars will each have a box set up in the lobby of the gym.

“We are excited to give to some families in our community,” said Coupeville High School Athletic Director Brad Sherman.

“And we encourage all spectators to join us in helping to spread some joy and happiness as we enter into the holiday season.”

Stuurmans electric, Wolves competitive

Rough first quarter, super-close final three frames.

Continuing a trend which seemed to affect every Coupeville team Monday night, the Wolf JV girls’ basketball team stumbled out of the gate, before turning on the intensity.

Ultimately, an early 10-1 deficit was a bit too much to overcome for the CHS young guns, who fell to 1-2 on the season with a 39-26 loss.

But hanging tough for the game’s final 24 minutes was a victory in itself.

“We fought a tough battle against a well-prepared Forks JV,” said Coupeville coach Scout Smith.

“Overall, it was a good game, and I was very proud of how we played.

“I never questioned our belief as a team that we could come back.”

The deficit was never more than two points in any of the final three quarters for Coupeville.

The Wolf offense was led by swing player Tenley Stuurmans, as the fab frosh exploded for a game-high 15 points while being limited to just two quarters of action.

Adeline Maynes (6), Chelsi Stevens (2), Ari Cunningham (2), and Capri Anter (1) also tallied points, with Marin Winger, Amelia Crowder, Lexis Drake, Willow Leedy-Bonifas, Sydney Van Dyke, Jeann Nitta, and Ava Lucero seeing floor time.

Smith praised her entire roster, from Cunningham and Maynes, who “were troopers playing every minute of the second half” to a duo who came up big on defense.

“Sydney did well defensively. She was disciplined in her role and protected the paint,” Smith said.

“Lexis brought a lot of energy defensively and forced a lot of turnovers towards the end of the game.”

Young Wolves rumble with Spartans

The Wolf JV gets some words of advice. (Kim Arends photo)

“We ARE getting better with each game!”

While the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball team fell to 1-2 on the season with a narrow 45-38 loss Monday at Forks, Wolf coach Jon Roberts came away pleased with a lot.

At least until he had to get back on the bus and endure a knee-wrecking journey back to Whidbey from the hinterlands.

“Overall, we feel like the loss and score didn’t match the intensity most players played at, or the fact that we outscored Forks in the second, third, and fourth quarters,” Roberts said.

It was the first frame that was the sticking point, as Coupeville started cold and fell behind 16-2 after eight minutes of play.

From that moment on, it was advantage Wolves, with the visitors outscoring their hosts 36-29 the rest of the way.

A 13-6 run in the third, fueled by Davin Houston and Carson Grove, almost got CHS all the way back, but the feisty Spartans held on at the end for the win.

Houston “had a breakout night both scoring and playing some lights out defense,” while leading the Wolves with a season-high 17-point performance.

Grove (8), Sage Arends (5), Nathan Coxsey (4), Easton Green (2), and Riley Lawless (2) also scored for CHS, with Malachi Somes, Liam Blas, and Khanor Jump seeing floor time.

The Wolves return to action this weekend, hosting Orcas Island Friday and Morton-White Pass Saturday.

Long trip, close game

It’s a 226-mile trip from Coupeville to Forks and back.

And while Monday’s trek to Ron Bagby’s hometown didn’t produce a win for the Coupeville High School varsity boys’ basketball squad, the hope is that lessons were learned.

Lessons that will pay off down the road for Brad Sherman’s squad, which is 1-3 but a few plays away from being 3-1.

Monday’s mashup mirrored the majority of Coupeville’s games thus far — a slow start, a hot finish, but a clock which runs out too soon.

Despite charging back in the second half, the Wolves, a team with very little varsity experience, fell 55-47 in the non-conference clash.

It wasn’t for lack of effort, as Coupeville hit five of its six three-balls in the second half, while outscoring the Spartans 14-13 and 16-11 across the final two quarters.

Unfortunately for the Wolves, they came out of the break trailing 31-17, after Forks used a 19-9 run in the second quarter to take control of things.

The Spartans nailed four of their six shots from behind the three-point arc during that frame to put the Wolves on their heels.

While the two squads matched each other on shots from the parking lot, Coupeville convincingly won the free throw shooting part of the night.

The Wolves netted 11 of 20 shots, tying their best performance of the season, while Forks went a godawful 2-14 from the charity stripe.

Chase Anderson slices past a defender.

CHS spread its offense out between seven players Monday, with junior Chase Anderson netting a season-high 21 to lead the attack.

That scoring outburst propels him from 291 career points to 312 and moves him into the top 100 scorers in the 108-year history of Wolf boys’ basketball.

Anderson, sitting at #96 all-time with home games against Orcas Island and Morton-White Pass set for Friday and Saturday, slips past John Beasley (293), Noel Criscuola (298), Blake Day (299), Noah Roehl (301), Allen Black (305), and Ben Hayes (306).

Jack Porter (7), Camden Glover (6), Hunter Bronec (5), Hurlee Bronec (4), Landon Roberts (2), and Johnny Porter (2) also scored at Forks.

Slow start dooms Wolf girls

They left their shooting touch at home.

Coming out ice cold in the early afternoon Monday on the road at far-off Forks, the Coupeville High School varsity girls’ basketball team built itself a big deficit and couldn’t get all the way back.

The undermanned Wolves, who were missing a key starter with Lyla Stuurmans out ill, did fight back strongly in the second half, but ultimately fell 42-29.

The non-conference loss to the always-tough Spartans snaps a two-game winning streak for Coupeville, which slips to 2-2 on the season.

Megan Richter’s squad will get to stay closer to home for its next two tilts, welcoming Orcas Island and Morton-White Pass to Whidbey Friday and Saturday, respectively.

Monday’s rumble in Forks got off to a bad start for CHS, which fell behind 16-2 after one quarter of play.

From there, the deficit stretched out to 22-4 at the half and 32-11 through three quarters.

The fourth frame was Coupeville’s strongest, with five different Wolves finding the bottom of the net to spark a game-closing 18-10 run.

Haylee Armstrong navigates the defense.

Sophomore guard Haylee Armstrong provided a large chunk of the offense for CHS, pumping in a season-high 11 points.

Mia Farris banked in seven to back her up, with Madison McMillan chipping in with four.

Jada Heaton (3), Danica Strong (2), and Katie Marti (2) rounded out the scoring, while Teagan Calkins and Tenley Stuurmans also saw substantial floor time for the Wolves.

Forks 8th grader Brooklynn Rondeau led all scorers with 17 points, including netting four of the six three-balls the Spartans made on the afternoon.

Marti did nab a bit of history in the loss, moving past Hilary Kortuem into 50th place on the CHS program’s all-time scoring chart.

The feisty senior sits with 232 points for her career, and next up on her “hit list” is her cousin, Breeanna Messner, who scored 235 points during her stellar run as a Wolf.
