First game in the books and another transition made.

Former Coupeville High School hoops star Scout Smith made her debut as a head coach at her alma mater Monday, guiding the Wolf JV girls’ basketball team in its opener against visiting Mount Baker.

And while a young CHS team couldn’t pull out a win, falling 54-31 to a more-veteran squad, there were plenty of positives for the home team.

Coupeville got stronger on the offensive end of the floor as the game went on, upping its point total in each quarter, from three to four to 10 and then finally 14.

That meant the Wolves also won the fourth quarter, with freshman Adeline Maynes tossing in eight of her team-high 13 points to lead the way.

Haylee Armstrong rattled the rims for 10 in support, while also netting her team’s lone three-ball.

Ari Cunningham (3), Ava Lucero (3), and Capri Anter (2) also scored, with Chelsi Stevens, Jeann Nitta, Willow Leedy-Bonifas, Lexis Drake, Amelia Crowder, Marin Winger, and Sydney Van Dyke also seeing floor time.

Smith and her young guns return to the court this Friday, Dec. 6 when they travel down to Langley to face next-door neighbor South Whidbey in another non-conference tilt.

Last season was historical, this season is full of promise.

The 2023-2024 basketball campaign was the landmark 50th for the Coupeville High School girls’ program, while their male counterparts saw senior Logan Downes shatter the Wolf boys career scoring record en route to racking up 1,305 points.

But time moves on, and a new year of hoops action waits to unfold.

On the boys’ side of things, Brad Sherman’s squad will need to replace nine seniors who departed after a 17-6 swan song which included a Bi-District title and a trip to the state tourney.

Leading the charge is junior Chase Anderson, who has been a key contributor the past two seasons and looks to be the #1 scoring option this time around.

He’s racked up 260 points thus far, which has him sitting at #117 all-time for a CHS boys’ program which is entering its 108th season.

Joining him will be two pairs of senior brothers — Hunter and Hurlee Bronec and Jack and Johnny Porter — as well as seniors Landon Roberts and Carson Field and juniors Camden Glover and Malachi Somes.

The Bronecs were part of last year’s varsity team, while the others ran wild with a JV squad which torched rivals on their way to finishing 14-2.

Junior Aiden O’Neill, a swing player last year, was also expected to make the jump to full-time varsity status but is recovering from surgery after going down with an injury during football season.

On the girls’ side of things, Megan Richter’s team will look to bounce back after missing the playoffs last season.

The Wolves went 7-13 and had numerous close calls which could have easily flipped the script.

One advantage the CHS girls have is they return their top seven scorers from last season and are led by a pack of seniors fresh off the most-successful volleyball campaign in school history.

Seniors Katie Marti, Mia Farris, Madison McMillan, Lyla Stuurmans, and Jada Heaton are joined by junior Teagan Calkins and sophomore Haylee Armstrong.

Providing depth to the returnees will be junior Danica Strong, sophomore Capri Anter, and freshman Tenley Stuurmans, who are on hand to help out this time around.

From that group, Lyla Stuurmans is set to make some history of her own.

She was a first team player as an 8th grader during the pandemic-shortened 2021 season and will be the first Wolf girl to play five years of varsity high school basketball.

Along with basketball, Coupeville has a winter cheer team, led by senior captains Alysia Burdge and Pamela Morell, while junior Finn Price will go his own way as the school’s lone male swimmer.

Without a CHS aquatic program, he will train and travel again with South Whidbey High School swimmers, with that group all making the trek to join Kamiak on the mainland.

Dominic Coffman

Dominic Coffman continues to run amok in Spain.

The Coupeville High School grad cracked the defense for two touchdowns on the ground Saturday, churning and burning his way to gridiron glory to help his football team advance to another championship game.

With the former Wolf pounding away for close to 100 yards as a rusher, the Las Bravas Black Demons destroyed the Mallorca Voltors 46-0 in a semifinal matchup.

Coffman and Co. now advance to the title game Dec. 17 to play the Badalona Dracs, who blanked the Hospitalet Pioners 27-0 in the day’s other game.

This is the second season of playing American football abroad for the former Northwest 2B/1B League MVP, as he helped Las Bravas win the Spanish Cup in his debut campaign.

During his Coupeville days, Coffman, a 2023 grad, went to state in football, basketball, and track and field, joining Jonathan Valenzuela as the only Wolf boys to pull off the trifecta since at least the ’70s.

In his final state appearance, he was part of a CHS 4 x 100 relay unit which finished second.

Cram the van.

Fresh off the most-successful season in program history, Coupeville High School volleyball will send four to the Senior All-State games.

The event goes down Sunday, Dec. 8 at Burlington-Edison High School.

The Wolves are sending veteran spikers Katie Marti, Mia Farris, and Lyla Stuurmans, as well as coach Cory Whitmore.

Coupeville’s standouts will join up with players from Adna, Forks, River View, and Okanogan to form Team Gray, which will play Team Purple in the 2B game.

Whitmore will square off with Marie Denny of Liberty (Spangle) in calling the shots.

There are four games, with 1B all-stars kicking things off at 10:30 AM.

The 2B clash is set for 12:30, with 1A/2A (2:30) and 3A/4A bouts (4:30) to follow.

Coupeville, which went 18-2, won league and bi-district crowns, and placed 4th at the state tourney, was undefeated until the final day of the season.

This continues a recent trend of sending Wolf spikers to the All-State games, with Grey Peabody, Maddie Georges, and Alita Blouin having played in recent years.

Mia Farris pounds a kill.

Katie Marti flicks the ball skyward.

Lyla Stuurmans denies you.
