Another game, another couple milestones.

Coupeville High School junior Nick Guay cracked the 100-point club Friday night, tossing in 13 points at Mount Vernon Christian.

With 95 and counting this campaign, and six from his sophomore season, he now has 101 points for his varsity days.

Meanwhile fellow junior Cole White banked in a team-high 15, pushing his career total to 132.

That puts him, for the moment, in a tie with Craig Anderson on the all-time CHS boys’ basketball scoring chart.

The middle school hoops coach is the father of freshman varsity player Chase Anderson, linking Cole White, whose own dad Greg scored 604 points back in the day, to both father and son.

Just two of many stories behind the stats, with three weeks of regular season games left to play.

She went down swinging, and shooting.

Coupeville grad Makana Stone singed the nets for 29 points Sunday in Norway, filling up the stat sheet as she and Baerum pushed undefeated Ulriken hard before falling 70-61.

The loss drops Baerum to 10-5, while Ulriken remains spotless at 14-0.

It wasn’t just points for Stone, as she also snagged 15 rebounds, pilfered five steals, and doled out three assists.

The former Wolf ace topped everyone on the floor in rebounds and steals, while her 29 points was one off the game-high 30 put up by Ulriken’s Stine Austgulen.

The undefeated league leaders opened the game with a 19-12 lead after one quarter, before Baerum trimmed things down to 35-29 at the half.

The third quarter proved deadly, however, as Ulriken went on a 19-8 surge, before Stone and Co. closed the game with a 24-16 tear in the fourth quarter.

Through 15 games in the Kvinneligaen, Coupeville’s progeny has racked up 287 points, 184 rebounds, 32 assists, 42 steals, and 10 blocks.

After two games in as many days this weekend, Stone and her Norwegian compatriots now have a two-week break, not returning to action until Sunday, Feb. 5 when they play Storm Ungdom.

The standings matter, and they don’t.

Case in point — while the La Conner boys currently have a slightly better conference record overall than Coupeville, it’s the Wolves who would be the Northwest League’s top seed to the 2B playoffs.

That’s because of the split nature of a 2B/1B league, where three schools are from the former, and four from the latter.

When the postseason begins, seeding is only based on games between schools at the same level.

That’s why Coupeville’s boys, who beat La Conner the first time out, are 1-0 in the three-team, four-game rumble which matters the most.

The Braves are 1-1, with Friday Harbor at 0-1.

On the girls side of things, La Conner is 2-0, with Coupeville and Friday Harbor sitting on 0-1.

Two of the three 2B schools earn a playoff ticket, with plenty of big games between now and the regular season finales Feb. 10.

The week ahead offers a mix of games for Coupeville, with the Wolves travelling to Concrete Tuesday, Jan. 24, before hosting Friday Harbor Jan. 27.

With three weeks left in the regular season, a look at current win/loss records:

 

Northwest League boys basketball:

School League Overall
MV Christian 5-0 13-5
La Conner 3-1 7-7
Orcas Island 3-1 12-6
Coupeville 2-2 9-6
Friday Harbor 1-2 2-11
Concrete 1-5 3-11
Darrington 0-4 3-11

 

Northwest League girls basketball:

School League Overall
MV Christian 5-0 16-2
La Conner 4-0 11-3
Orcas Island 3-1 6-8
Friday Harbor 1-2 3-8
Coupeville 1-3 5-8
Darrington 1-3 8-5
Concrete 0-6 1-13

Any day, any team.

Saturday was a day for upsets in the world of Norwegian pro women’s basketball, as Bergen roared out to a big first-half lead, then held on for dear life to upend Baerum 48-46.

The loss, which came despite another rock-solid performance from Coupeville grad Makana Stone, drops her squad to 10-4 on the season.

Bergen, which lost to Baerum by 32 points just a week ago, is now 3-11.

The difference was the second quarter, as Bergen used a 17-6 tear to push its lead out to 34-20 at the halftime break.

Stone and Co. sliced the lead down, pulling within 39-34 after three quarters, and tying the game up in the fourth.

But this was Bergen’s day, as it hit big shots in the final moments to pull back in front and fend off Baerum.

Stone finished with eight points, a game-high 16 rebounds, three assists, and three steals, while teammate Abbey Hoff led all scorers with 16 points.

The former Wolf ace has racked up 258 points, 169 rebounds, 29 assists, 37 steals, and 10 blocks during her second season of pro ball.

Baerum gets an immediate chance to bounce back, playing Sunday against league-leader Ulriken, which sits atop the seven-team Kvinneligaen at 13-0.

A bump in the road.

Friday night’s loss at Mount Vernon Christian stings, but it’s not fatal for the Coupeville High School varsity boys’ basketball team.

Facing a Hurricane team which seemed unable to miss all night, the Wolves fell 73-53, snapping a four-game winning streak.

For the moment, the loss drops Coupeville to 2-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 9-6 overall.

But the silver lining is MVC is a 1B school, and the Wolves rep a 2B program.

So, while the Hurricanes earned a split in the team’s two-game series, this is the last time the squads will play this season.

Coupeville, which won the first time the schools squared off, still controls its own playoff destiny, as only its games against fellow 2B rivals La Conner and Friday Harbor decide who makes it to the postseason.

With one matchup against the Braves, and two against the Wolverines still ahead on the schedule, the Wolves head to Concrete Tuesday to face a 3-11 Lions team.

For CHS coach Brad Sherman and his team, basketball offers the reprieve of not having to wait long for the next game.

A day off Sunday, a day of practice Monday, and then back to the hardwood.

Coupeville didn’t play all that badly against MVC, matching them with five three-balls and getting big performances from its role players.

Problem is, the Hurricanes just had one of those nights when everything they threw up in the air seemed to catch the rim just right.

Once the Wolves were trailing, they would slice a bit here, a bit there, only to see MVC deliver yet another dagger in front of its home fans.

With Cole White popping for a quick five points in the early going, Coupeville led 11-9 heading towards the first break.

Then the Hurricane(s) hit and hit hard.

Using a 6-0 run to claim a 15-11 lead at the first break, MVC stretched its advantage out to 36-24 by halftime.

The Hurricanes clamped down on Coupeville’s leading scorers, Logan Downes and Alex Murdy, but the Wolves got help from the bench.

Nick Guay tossed in three buckets during the second quarter, while Zane Oldenstadt, normally a defense-first big man, connected on back-to-back jumpers to give CHS a fighting chance.

Coupeville got the lead down to seven at 45-38 late in the third quarter on a White pullup jumper, but the ‘Canes responded immediately.

Same thing in the final frame, as the Wolves cut a 12-point deficit to eight, only to have MVC go on an 8-0 run.

Another late Hurricane surge, this one 9-0, made the final score seem like more of a blowout than the game really was.

White paced the Wolves with a varsity career-high 15-point performance, while Guay tossed in 13, and Downes added 12.

Alex Murdy (7), Oldenstadt (4), and Dominic Coffman (2) also scored, with Jonathan Valenzuela, William Davidson, Chase Anderson, and Ryan Blouin seeing floor time.

Liam Millenaar led MVC with 23 points, with Billy DeJong knocking down 18 in support.
