Xavier Murdy gets around.

The Coupeville High School junior has a motor which never quits, and a knack for doing all the small things which matter a lot on the basketball court.

As the Wolves kick off the second half of their pandemic-altered 12-game season with a trip Wednesday to La Conner, we take a look at the stats behind the game.

Murdy, who is also the team’s #2 scorer, leads CHS in offensive rebounds, total rebounds, assists, and steals.

Fellow junior Hawthorne Wolfe, who is averaging 24+ points a night, has snagged the most defensive rebounds, while senior TJ Rickner tops the team in blocked shots.

A look at team-wide stats in those categories, plus shooting totals for field goals, three-balls, and free throws through six games:

Be all you can be. Join the Coupeville Booster Club. (Photo by JohnsPhotos.net)

All hands on deck.

The Coupeville Booster Club plans to go full tilt into next school year, and is putting the call out for those interested in joining the group.

There will be a membership meeting Wednesday, June 2 at the Penn Cove Taproom (103 S. Main – across from the elementary school). Things kick off at 6 PM.

As the pandemic fades and sports and activities get back to normal status, the booster club will be extra-busy, and is in need of new blood.

Parents of both high school and middle school students are encouraged to attend the meeting.

Board members have voting rights, work on projects throughout the year such as the annual crab feed fundraiser, and get to be at the forefront of funding Wolf athletes and coaches.

From supplying athletic letters, to making sure athletes have snacks on road trips, to helping CHS coaches purchase new equipment, to maintaining the Wall of Fame in the gym, the Booster Club is the motor which drives Wolf Nation.

Welcome back to portrait season.

Before the current hoops campaign began, John Fisken stopped by the Coupeville High School gym to snap close-up pics of almost every Wolf basketball player.

As the season unfolds, we’re dispersing said portraits in a somewhat haphazarded manner, and today eight more glossy images pop up on the internet.

There’s two pics for each of the four CHS hardwood teams, chosen in our best eenie-meenie-minie-moe fashion.

Halfway home, and the battle rages on.

Both Coupeville High School varsity basketball teams sit at 3-3 with six games left to play, though the odds of a conference title for the Wolves greatly varies.

The CHS boys, who could be 5-1 if two plays go differently, are two games back of first-place, and have a legitimate shot of shaking the standings up in the second half.

The Wolves have already handed Mount Vernon Christian its only loss, and the Hurricanes gave Orcas Island its lone defeat.

The Vikings may sit atop the standings at the moment, but nothing seems safe as the hunt for a boys title continues.

On the girls side, however, it’s a two-team race to hang a banner, and no one else is getting into the mix.

Coupeville is a game out of third, but there is no realistic way its gets a top-two finish.

La Conner and MVC are both 5-0 in league play, 6-0 overall heading into a Tuesday clash, and have decimated the other Northwest 2B/1B League schools.

Counting their non-conference tilts (the Braves beat Kings, the Hurricanes KO’d Lummi Nation), La Conner has outscored its foes 438-106, while MVC is at 386-96.

The Wolf girls have a tough week ahead, as they face La Conner and MVC back-to-back, playing the former on the road Wednesday, before hosting the latter Thursday.

A road trip to Orcas Saturday to square off with the team they’re chasing for third-place caps a busy schedule.

The CHS boys play the same trio, at the same locations, with a chance to make some waves.

The La Conner rumble is a rematch, after they lost 59-57 on a last-second bucket at home this past Thursday, then the Wolves go toe-to-toe with the current top two in the standings.

Let the basketballs hit the nets!

769 points.

Coupeville High School’s four basketball teams have combined to score exactly that much as we sit at the halfway point of the compressed 2021 hoops season.

That’s come from the efforts of 19 Wolf boys and 15 girls, with four players — Lyla Stuurmans, Logan Downes, Jonathan Valenzuela, and Cole White — having tallied points as both JV and varsity players.

Topping our charts are two juniors, a sophomore, and an 8th grader, and three of the four scoring races are still pretty close.

In the other one, Hawthorne Wolfe is feeling it, averaging 24.7 points a night, with two games of 30+ points across six hardcourt rumbles.
