No more free throws or rebounds, just praise.

The Coupeville High School boys’ basketball teams capped their seasons Tuesday with an awards banquet, honoring players and managers after successful seasons.

The Wolf varsity went 14-9 and won the two-day Cascade Hoops Classic in Leavenworth during the holidays, while the JV squad closed on a 10-game winning streak during an 11-3 campaign.

Two varsity players — junior Logan Downes and senior Alex Murdy — were previously honored with selections to the Northwest 2B/1B League All-Conference team.

Downes, who torched the nets for 554 points, second-best in the 107-year history of Wolf basketball, was a First-Team selection, while Murdy, a two-way star, landed Second-Team honors.

CHS head coach Brad Sherman and assistants Greg White, Hunter Smith, and Randy Bottorff handed out the following awards:

Ryan Blouin – Hard Hat Award
Dominic Coffman – Four Year Award
Logan Downes – Offensive Player of the Year; Varsity Captain

In praise of year-round athletes

No rest for the truly dedicated.

A look at spring rosters shows that 22 Coupeville High School students — 10 girls and 12 boys — are finishing the job as three-sport athletes for the 2022-2023 school year.

At schools with small student bodies, having a strong showing in year-round athletes is huge, so it’s great to see so many Wolves complete the trifecta.

There are plenty of reasons why some CHS athletes choose to play just one or two sports, starting with the fact basketball is their only option during winter.

Don’t play God’s chosen sport? Can’t be a three-sport athlete in Cow Town.

Unless you make the move to wrestle or swim with another school during the snowy months, but that has been an infrequent occurrence.

Injuries, a need to concentrate on academics, home life requirements, or simply a desire to have a job or get your license — all reasons which sometimes come into play when sports-related decisions are made.

To each, their own choice.

But today we praise the 22 who made the commitment, in time and effort, to be an athlete for all seasons.

The blog is called Coupeville Sports, after all, and not Coupeville Teens Washing Dishes.

Wet weather washes out season openers

Tradition, upheld.

It’s raining all across Washington state, as it’s prone to doing in March, and the liquid sunshine is already forcing schools to juggle planned spring sports games.

Coupeville High School was set to send its baseball and softball squads to Bellingham Monday to open the season with non-conference games against Meridian.

Instead, the splash-splash of raindrops will keep the wheels on the bus from going round and round.

The schools will look to reschedule at a later date, said Coupeville Athletic Director Willie Smith.

“I’ll think about it,” responded Mother Nature with a slight smirk.

 

UPDATE:

Games rescheduled for Thursday, Mar. 16.

Wolf grad hurt in auto accident

Coupeville grad Abby Mulholland was seriously injured in a rollover car crash Thursday morning.

The former Wolf, who played volleyball, basketball, and tennis during her time at CHS, is in the intensive care unit at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Lewiston, Idaho.

Mulholland, who was a passenger in the back seat, was ejected from the vehicle and suffered extensive injuries, according to family.

These include two neck fractures, a brain bleed — which has shown signs of improvement — a broken arm, broken pelvis, hip fracture, liver laceration, spleen laceration, deep knee cuts, and a bruised lung.

Mulholland is alert and talking, and family have been able to join her in Idaho.

“We give all thanks to God that she is alive and gets a second chance at life,” the family said in a statement on Facebook.

“We appreciate all thoughts and prayers.”

Mulholland is a vital part of one of Coupeville’s most well-known athletic families.

Dad Moose is the voice of Wolf sports, delivering smooth wordplay on the mic at many contests, while mom Renae is part of the Keefe clan, which has produced a steady stream of star athletes over the years.

Lippo lashes, Owls sputter

He’s a one-man wrecking crew, but he could use a little help.

Coupeville High School grad Joey Lippo swung the bat with conviction Sunday, filling up the stat sheet, but it wasn’t enough to save the University of Maine at Presque Isle baseball team.

Lippo, kicking off a run of eight games in five days in Florida, racked up four hits, including a triple and an inside-the-park home run.

Toss in three RBI, and three runs scored, and the former Wolf had a solid day.

Unfortunately, Lippo’s heroics weren’t enough to save UMPI, which fell 18-9 and 19-2 to Colby-Sawyer College.

With the losses, the Owls sit at 0-4 on the young season, with doubleheaders set for Monday, Wednesday and Thursday before it’s back to less-sunny surroundings.

UMPI squares off with Utica University, the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, and SUNY Poly during the remainder of their visit to the Sunshine State.

Lippo, a junior who plays baseball and golf for the Owls, leads his team in virtually every relevant offensive stat category, including being the only slugger currently hitting .300 or better.
