Easton Green could not be stopped by mortal hands.

Dropping three-balls that made his coaches sit back in their seat and marvel in quiet wonder Tuesday night, the Coupeville High School sophomore helped spark the JV boys’ squad to yet another win.

With 10 different players popping the ball through the net against visiting La Conner, the Wolves romped to a 61-22 win that set the gym ablaze.

Now 4-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 9-2 overall, the young guns have launched another winning streak with back-to-back victories after a loss at the buzzer to 3A Oak Harbor.

Next up? Mount Vernon Christian, which arrives in Cow Town Friday with the tough task of slowing the roll of a red-hot roster.

La Conner failed at that task, and miserably, as the Wolves romped to a 17-4 lead after one quarter of play and never slowed down.

Twin titans Johnny (6) and Jack Porter (5) combined for 11 of those opening points, then it was time for Green to go nuclear in the second quarter.

With a flick of his fingertips, he sent the ball skyward twice, both time splashing home three-balls as his defender’s shoulders slumped in the presence of such magnificent artistry.

“Easton was feeling it tonight!” said CHS coach Jon Roberts as he basked in the afterglow of the win.

Up 33-11 at the half, the Wolves pushed the lead out to 45-15 through three quarters, then coasted home, savoring the moment.

Johnny Porter paced Coupeville with a team-high 12 points, while Green knocked down 10, and Camden Glover caressed the glass for eight.

Jack Porter (6), Landon Roberts (5), Aiden O’Neill (5), Jayden McManus (5), Malachi Somes (4), Davin Houston (4), and Riley Lawless (2) also scored, while Makai Myles brought the defensive heat while on the floor.

Wolf JV unleashed once again

Back on the floor and getting back in the groove.

The Coupeville High School JV girls’ basketball team has been sitting a lot recently, with four of the last five schools the Wolf varsity has played not having a second squad.

So, while Kassie O’Neil’s wild women fell 56-24 to always tough La Conner Tuesday night, just getting floor time is the real win.

The Wolf young guns, now 0-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 3-5 overall after the home defeat, get right back at it Friday, welcoming Mount Vernon Christian to town.

Tuesday’s tilt was one-sided in the beginning, but Coupeville got stronger as the game progressed, O’Neil said.

Trailing 21-3 at the first break, the Wolves came back strong in the second quarter, winning the eight-minute battle 9-7.

Freshman Haylee Armstrong, who paced CHS with 14 points, had the hot hand in the second frame, popping for six of her points.

That included a three-ball from deep.

The Wolves hung tough in the third as well, before La Conner stretched the final margin out with a solid run in the fourth to end things.

Ten players saw floor time for Coupeville, with four of them scoring on this night.

Armstrong’s 14 led the way, while her cousin, Capri Anter, banked in five.

Tenley Stuurmans rippled the nets for three, and Brynn Parker knocked down a bucket to round out the Wolf attack.

Adie Maynes, Lexis Drake, Taylor Marrs, Chelsi Stevens, Bryley Gilbert, and Ava Lucero also played, picking up valuable experience.

Lexis Drake is about to break some ankles.

Hardwood heroes earn academic honors

They’re 40% of the starting lineup for the Coupeville High School boys’ basketball team, and 100% of the Lions Club students of the quarter.

Wolf seniors Ryan Blouin and Cole White, who kick off a busy week of hoops action Tuesday at home against La Conner, paused momentarily in their pursuit of hardwood excellence to claim their awards.

Blouin, a sweet-shooting three-ball terror, and younger brother of Alita, is the son of Shawn and June.

He juggles basketball with scooping tasty cones at Kapaw’s Iskreme and fulfilling community service projects with the National Honor Society.

Bringing in a 3.97 GPA while taking an eye-boggling number of AP classes, Ryan also works with youth basketball players in his (limited) free time.

With his tutelage, a bevy of mad gunners are learning to chuck it from the cheap seats — and make those treys.

Cole White, whose parents are School Board Prez Morgan and urban legend Greg, also refs and works with little kids learning the ways of the hardwood.

A fellow tasty treat purveyor at Kapaw’s, his spot in the National Honor Society is a given, since Riley’s big bro boasts a sweet ‘n lowdown 4.0 GPA while strolling through any AP classes they can throw at him.

The Lions Club honors two seniors per quarter, with attitude, scholarship, community service, sportsmanship, inspiration, contribution to school, and congeniality part of the assessment.

Rivalry games renewed

The circle is unbroken once more.

Previously postponed boys’ basketball games between Coupeville and South Whidbey have been plugged back into the schedule.

The Falcons will hop on a bus next Wednesday, Jan. 24 and trundle up to Cow Town for the non-conference rumbles.

JV tips at 5:15, varsity at 7:00.

The reschedule pushes Coupeville’s varsity slate back out to a full 20 games, with the Wolf JV picking up a 16th game.

After playing only three of their first 12 games at home — and with each of those contests at least 17 days apart — the CHS varsity now gets a five-game home stand.

The Wolves, who are 10-2 and ranked #6 in 2B by Evans Rankings, host La Conner (Jan. 16), Mount Vernon Christian (Jan. 19), Neah Bay (Jan. 20), Concrete (Jan. 23) and South Whidbey during that stretch.

Coupeville’s JV, which is 8-2, plays the first two teams and the final one from that list, with Concrete and Neah Bay not having second units.
