So, this is what the Coupeville High School gym complex looks like.
Playing at home for the first time in six games this season, the Wolf JV boys’ basketball squad didn’t skip a beat, rolling to its fifth straight win.
Thunking visiting Forks 50-35 Tuesday, the Coupeville young guns grab their fifth-straight win and head into the new year boasting a 5-1 record.
While their varsity counterparts hit the road to Eastern Washington for a pair of holiday games, the JV doesn’t return to the court until Jan. 5.
When they do, the Wolves will be right back where they’re used to being — sitting on a school bus bumping down the back roads of America, this time headed for Darrington.
After that, six of their final nine games will be at home.
Squaring off with a rough-and-tumble group of hardwood hooligans from Forks, the young Wolves hit the gas pedal early Tuesday and never let the Spartans get a toehold.
Camden Glover, banging away down low in the paint, dominated in the first quarter, outscoring the visitors 9-8 by himself.
Tack on four apiece for Jack Porter, Landon Roberts, and Johnny Porter, and Coupeville had a 21-8 advantage heading into the first break.
The two teams actually played almost even from that point on, but that also meant Forks had little chance to play catch-up.
The lead slid out to 28-12 at the half, slightly cut back to 42-28 through three, then finished with little reason for the Wolves to sweat.
Glover finished with a game-high 18 points, while Aiden O’Neill and Jack Porter both banked in 10 in support of their big guy.
Roberts (8) and Johnny Porter (4) rounded out the scoring, with Davin Houston, Easton Green, Malachi Somes, Riley Lawless, and Makai Myles crashing the boards and harassing Spartan ballhandlers.
