A huge weekend for the Coupeville High School boys basketball program has been postponed.

Games Friday at Mount Vernon Christian and Saturday at home against South Whidbey have been cancelled due to positive Covid results during team testing.

The news affects both varsity and JV contests.

The games, Coupeville’s final ones before the holiday break, will be rescheduled at a later date, said CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith.

The Wolf girls teams are still set to play games against the same foes this weekend.

Friday’s varsity boys game would have been a battle for sole possession of first-place in the Northwest 2B/1B League, with Coupeville and MVC both 3-0 in conference action.

Respect the game, remember the name

It’s been a moment.

MaxPreps, the corporate overlords of high school sports, has finally started to send some respect Cow Town’s way.

Flying high at 5-0 on the still-young season, the Coupeville High School boys basketball team is currently ranked #7 among 2B schools.

Columbia (Burbank) sits at #1 in the MaxPreps rankings, followed by Ilwaco, Chief Leschi, Lake Roosevelt, Adna, Davenport, and the Wolves.

When all classifications are smushed together, covering 4A to 1B, Coupeville is #48 out of 296 schools.

Among Coupeville’s fellow Northwest 2B/1B League foes, La Conner is #32 in 2B, while Mount Vernon Christian (#5), Orcas Island (#20), and Concrete (#35) land among 1B schools.

Friday Harbor and Darrington are nowhere to be seen, as MaxPreps only includes schools which have posted the results to at least five games to the site.

Or so they say…

Darrington has five games played, just not five games listed on MaxPreps.

Then there’s Orcas Island, which has played four games, yet somehow is ranked, proving once again MaxPreps is a convoluted mess.

But a mess which, today at least, likes Coupeville.

So they got that going for them, which is nice.

 

PS — Why does this story not talk about girls basketball, as well?

Well, that would be because MaxPreps thinks the Wolf girls, who are 4-1, have played only one game.

Yep, still mostly a mess…

They shoot, they score.

The Coupeville High School basketball teams combined to collect 228 donations during a holiday gift drive.

Everything will now be donated to the Holiday Help House, which will disperse gifts to families in Coupeville and Oak Harbor.

“It’s a great accomplishment, and shows how much our kids truly care for our community!,” said CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith.

With cookies on the line, the Wolf girls pulled out the win 124-104.

“In a close competition — and after much wailing and moaning and demand of multiple recounts — the girls came out on top!,” Smith said.

“Not sure what kind of cookies they’ll receive from the boys — raisin cookies is what I heard — but, if you see any of our basketball players, give them a hardy high-five and some kudos for a job well done!”

Kyle Nelson is still the power behind the throne.

His Coupeville High School girls soccer program landed a second-straight student rep to the school board, with Maylin Steele approved Wednesday to replace the departing Mary Milnes.

Steele, a current CHS junior who’s carrying a 3.5 GPA, will serve a one-year term.

Born and raised in Coupeville, she joins new directors Morgan White and Nancy Conard, who fill out a school board which includes Christine Sears, Sherry Phay, and Glenda Merwine.

In her application letter, Steele, who is a goalkeeper for the CHS soccer squad, expressed a desire to represent all of her fellow students.

“I’m interested in this position because I think proper advocacy for the student body, especially the silent members of our community, is essential,” she wrote.

In their letters of recommendation, two Coupeville teachers spoke highly of Steele.

“Maylin is a bright, affable, and concerned young woman,” wrote science teacher Colleen Fox.

“She is passionate about many things in her world, and is empowered to ask good questions, and participate in meaningful discussions.”

Fox’s words were echoed by visual arts instructor Tacy Bigelow.

“Attention to detail and a diligent focus wrapped in a cloak of sunshine, Maylin possesses the very qualities needed to be an excellent student body rep.

“Inclusive in her approach, Maylin is inviting and warm to everyone in her sphere of influence,” Bigelow added.

“Once you are on her “team,” she gives 110% and follows through on her promises.”

“They are in it to win it!”

Savina Wells celebrated her 15th birthday in appropriate fashion — as a winner.

The Coupeville High School freshman was one of 10 players to score Tuesday, as the Wolf varsity girls basketball team obliterated host Concrete 59-25.

The victory lifts CHS to 3-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 4-1 overall, heading into a big showdown at Mount Vernon Christian Friday night.

As the Wolves prep for the weekend — they also have a non-conference clash at South Whidbey Saturday — they sit a half-game off the lead in the NWL.

Defending champs La Conner are 4-0 in league action, 7-0 overall.

Tuesday’s road trip to the wilds of Concrete went off about as well as possible, with the Wolves popping the net from the word go.

Maddie Georges sank two shots from behind the three-point arc in the first quarter, part of an eight-point opening for the junior guard, while Ja’Kenya Hoskins controlled the paint.

Up 17-2 at the first break, Coupeville stretched the margin out to 31-7 by the half, then 50-16 heading into the final frame.

It was the sort of well-balanced, everybody-contributes effort CHS coach Megan Smith is thrilled to see.

“We have a solid team! They are in it to win it,” she said.

“And I am beyond impressed with all the strides I have seen them make so far,” Smith added. “It’s only up from here.”

Shaw and Lyla Stuurmans have had plenty to celebrate.

Georges paced the Wolves with a game-high 13, including a trio of three-balls, while Audrianna Shaw knocked down 12 in support.

Izzy Wells (8), Hoskins (6), Carolyn Lhamon (5), Nezi Keiper (4), Savina Wells (4), Gwen Gustafson (4), Abby Mulholland (2), and Lyla Stuurmans (1) also scored, with freshman Katie Marti also seeing floor time.

 

JV sidelined:

Concrete only has one team, so Coupeville’s younger stars had the night off.
