The basket was jumping.
Raining down buckets from every angle Monday, the Coupeville High School varsity girls’ basketball team set a season-high, scorching host Auburn Adventist Academy 64-29.
The non-conference road win lifts the Wolves to 3-9 on the season heading into a home rumble Friday with Northwest 2B/1B League rival Darrington.
Scout Smith’s squad poured it on, and never relented Monday, with the 64 points easily besting their previous high of 48.
Eight minutes into play the game was all but over, with Haylee Armstrong and Teagan Calkins combining for 14 points to spur a game-opening 21-2 surge.
From there CHS pushed the advantage out to 36-13 at the half and 52-20 through three quarters.
The Wolves snapped the nets on five shots from behind the three-point arc, with Armstrong, Calkins, and Danica Strong all netting treys.
Coupeville also put together one of its better shooting performances at the free-throw line, hitting on nine of 14 shots, while Auburn clanked its way to a 4-19 performance at the stripe.
Armstrong almost outscored her rivals by herself, accounting for a game-high 20 points, while Adeline Maynes knocked down a season-high 10 in support.
Tenley Stuurmans (8), Calkins (8), Strong (5), Kennedy O’Neill (4), Sydney Van Dyke (4), Arianna Cunningham (3), and Capri Anter (2) also tallied points, while Lexis Drake hit the boards hard.
