The winning streak hit a bump in the road.

The Coupeville High School varsity boys’ basketball squad entered play Monday having won three of its last four games but couldn’t get past Auburn Adventist Academy.

The Falcons, who are in the top 10 in the state’s current RPI rankings for 2B schools, jumped on the visiting Wolves from the opening tip and ran away with a 66-35 victory.

The non-conference loss drops CHS to 4-7 on the season, with back-to-back home games against Darrington and Napavine set for this Friday and Saturday.

Brad Sherman’s squad fell behind 17-7 in the first quarter Monday and never got back into the game.

Auburn pushed the lead out to 39-20 at the half, then 51-30 through three quarters, cruising in for a victory which lifts it to 6-2 on the campaign.

Coupeville got most of its scoring from the duo of seniors Camden Glover and Chase Anderson, who banked in 15 and 12 points respectively.

Davin Houston (3), Carson Grove (2), Malachi Somes (2), and Aiden O’Neill (1) also chipped in to the scoring effort, while Nathan Coxsey, Liam Blas, Riley Lawless, and Easton Green rounded out the rotation.

The host team was effective from everywhere on the floor, with Auburn holding a 5-3 advantage on three-balls while also netting seven of nine free throws.

Coupeville got to the line more often than the Falcons did, but couldn’t take advantage, finishing just 10-19 from the charity stripe.

With his 12 points, Anderson moves to 777 for his high school career, which pushes him from #18 to #16 all-time on a CHS boys’ scoring chart which started in 1917.

He passed old-school Wolf legends Barry Brown (769) and Jack Elzinga (770) while in Auburn, with Hawthorne Wolfe (800) and Corey Cross (811) next up.

Everything was clicking.

And I mean everything.

Getting contributions from all 11 players in uniform Monday, the Coupeville High School JV girls’ basketball team rolled to an impressive road win.

Scorching host Auburn Adventist Academy 42-12, the Wolves get to 2-7 and head home to prepare for a Friday night showdown with Darrington.

Alita Blouin’s squad was dominant Monday in every aspect of the game, rolling out to a 14-3 lead by the first break.

From there, the Wolves stretched the lead to 22-7 at the half and 35-9 through three quarters of play.

CHS spread out the offensive love, with Ava Lucero rippling the nets for a game-high 12 points and Cami Van Dyke banking in 11 of her own.

Lucero splashed home a pair of three-balls, while Van Dyke knocked down a fourth quarter trey to keep Auburn at bay.

Anna Powers (6), Taylor Marrs (6), Zayne Roos (5), and Willow Leedy-Bonifas (2) rounded out the balanced attack, while Finley Helm, Elizabeth Marshall, Allie Powers, Olivia Hall, and Emma Cushman also saw floor time.

The basket was jumping.

Raining down buckets from every angle Monday, the Coupeville High School varsity girls’ basketball team set a season-high, scorching host Auburn Adventist Academy 64-29.

The non-conference road win lifts the Wolves to 3-9 on the season heading into a home rumble Friday with Northwest 2B/1B League rival Darrington.

Scout Smith’s squad poured it on, and never relented Monday, with the 64 points easily besting their previous high of 48.

Eight minutes into play the game was all but over, with Haylee Armstrong and Teagan Calkins combining for 14 points to spur a game-opening 21-2 surge.

From there CHS pushed the advantage out to 36-13 at the half and 52-20 through three quarters.

The Wolves snapped the nets on five shots from behind the three-point arc, with Armstrong, Calkins, and Danica Strong all netting treys.

Coupeville also put together one of its better shooting performances at the free-throw line, hitting on nine of 14 shots, while Auburn clanked its way to a 4-19 performance at the stripe.

Armstrong almost outscored her rivals by herself, accounting for a game-high 20 points, while Adeline Maynes knocked down a season-high 10 in support.

Tenley Stuurmans (8), Calkins (8), Strong (5), Kennedy O’Neill (4), Sydney Van Dyke (4), Arianna Cunningham (3), and Capri Anter (2) also tallied points, while Lexis Drake hit the boards hard.

He who scores last often scores best.

Pulling out the game in the final two-minutes plus, the Auburn Adventist Academy JV boys’ basketball squad held off hard-charging Coupeville Monday, making off with a 45-37 victory.

The road loss, coming against a non-conference foe, drops the Wolves to 4-6 on the season, with a home clash against Darrington on Friday next up on the schedule.

Monday’s melee started badly for Coupeville, then got a lot better, before falling apart a bit down the home stretch.

Auburn scraped out a 7-4 lead through one quarter of play, before really ramping things up with a 20-8 surge in the second frame.

The Wolves didn’t buckle, however, as they roared back behind a third-quarter scoring explosion from Khanor Jump.

The CHS sophomore pumped in eight of his game-high 16 in the frame to help propel his squad on a 17-4 burst, cutting the deficit all the way back to just 31-29.

But it wasn’t to be for the Wolves, as Auburn nailed a couple of late three-balls to hold on for the narrow win.

Jayden McManus banked in eight points in support of Jump, while Liam Lawson (6), Josh Stockdale (5), and Ayden Warren (2) also scored.

Trent Thule, Chris Zenz, Brian Thompson, Nathan Coxsey, and Jaden Flores Garcia also saw floor time for the Wolves.

They’re high achievers, in the classroom and in the arena.

The duo will be honored by the Coupeville Lions Club at its Jan. 21 meeting.

The organization celebrates two CHS seniors each quarter, before issuing its Students of the Year awards at graduation time.

Honorees are selected based on “community service, effort, character, social relationships, scholarship, ethical behavior, and integrity.”

Noelle Western, the oldest daughter of Kerry and Michael Western, is a standout cross country and track and field athlete who has qualified for the state championships multiple times.

She participates in Captain’s Club, Leo’s Club, and ASB, and is also a member of the National Honor Society.

Western is a frequent volunteer in the community, working at the elementary school, with Race the Reserve, and at her church. She also works part time landscaping, childcare, and housekeeping jobs.

In school, her favorite subjects are Anatomy and English, and she plans to attend college to major in Nursing with a minor in Childhood Development.

Dahlia Miller, the daughter of Timothy and Holly Miller, is a top-level tennis player who works at the Front Street Grill.

A member of the National Honor Society, Leo’s Club, and the Young Life program, she has tutored middle school students, worked as a library assistant, and worked as a volunteer in the concession stand during Wolf athletic events.

Miller enjoys English and History, has a fondness for music, and plans to attend law school to “be a voice for those who may not be in a position to speak for themselves.”
