Balanced scoring carried the day.

With eight of 10 players putting the ball in the bucket Tuesday, the Coupeville High School JV boys basketball team roared to a 42-18 win at Darrington.

The non-conference victory, coming on opening night of the 2019-2020 season, kicks things off with a bang.

Coupeville came out firing, leading 10-5 at the first break, with Sage Downes peppering the Loggers defense for a quick six points.

The Wolf junior was lights-out from behind the three-point arc in the early going, netting all of his first quarter points thanks to a pair of sweet three-balls.

From there, the Wolves, guided by the steady hand of coach Chris Smith, continued to push the lead out.

Up 16-8 at the halftime break, CHS busted things open with a 13-2 run in the third, with Downes and Miles Davidson each dropping in four points to spark the surge.

A 13-8 fourth quarter, with six different Wolves scoring, put a nice cap on things.

Downes went to the locker room as the leading scorer, tallying 10 points, while the trio of Daniel Olson, Grady Rickner, and Davidson banked home eight apiece.

Alex Jimenez, TJ Rickner, Alex Murdy, and Cody Roberts rounded out the scoring attack with two points apiece, while Chris Ruck and Logan Martin also saw floor time.

The Wolves get right back at it in less than 24 hours, with a much-shorter trip to Oak Harbor set for Wednesday night.

Coupeville’s home opener, against Orcas Island, is Saturday.

The Coupeville High School girls basketball squads kicked off a new season Saturday with an appearance at a jamboree in Sedro-Woolley, and that got travelin’ photo man John Fisken to leave the Island as well.

The pics above are courtesy him, but are just the beginning of what he shot.

We have tip-off

A new era begins.

The 2019-2020 hoops season officially kicked off Saturday, with new Coupeville High School girls basketball coaches Scott Fox and Megan Smith making their debuts.

The Wolves played four games at a jamboree in Sedro-Woolley, with the varsity fighting strongly against two high-powered squads, while the JV romped to big wins.

The regular season begins Tuesday, when Coupeville travels to Darrington.

That starts a busy first week, as the Wolves also travel to Oak Harbor Wednesday, then host Orcas Island Saturday afternoon.

Saturday’s shortened games were a way for Fox and Smith, who replace the retired David and Amy King, to start to implement their style of play.

But only partially, as the Wolf coaches kept things close to the vest, knowing their upcoming foes were likely scouting them.

How it played out in Sedro:

 

Varsity:

The Wolves top squad rumbled with 2A Bellingham and Meridian, which went three games deep into the 1A state tourney a season ago.

In both games, CHS fought back from deficits, claimed the lead, but couldn’t quite hold on, falling by five and four points, respectively.

Fox praised the play of senior point guard Scout Smith, who “was driving to the basket for multiple and-ones,” while also noting Hannah Davidson and Izzy Wells spent the night “crashing the boards.”

Toss in strong work by Chelsea Prescott, who “made multiple shots off of drives and cuts,” and the new Wolf head man came away pleased with much of what he witnessed.

“Everyone played hard, and we’re ready for the season to start,” Fox said.

 

JV:

The young Wolves decimated their 2A opponents, thrashing Bellingham by 16 and Sedro-Woolley by 15.

A pair of freshmen making their high school hoops debut caught the eye of the veteran varsity coach.

“Alita Blouin was spectacular running the offense, stealing and distributing,” Fox said. “Ryanne Knoblich slashed to the basket and everyone played great.”

Triple the hoops action

The numbers are there.

Beating the odds, Coupeville High School, one of the smallest 1A schools in the state, will go three teams deep in boys basketball this season.

With 33 players on their roster, the Wolves will field a C-Team, joining the CHS volleyball program in being able to support a trio of squads.

Once he knew for sure, Coupeville Athletic Director Willie Smith quickly pulled together a schedule, and is in the process of hiring a coach to join Brad Sherman (varsity) and Chris Smith (JV).

Scott Fox led the C-Team last season, but he’s now in charge of the Wolf girls basketball program.

While Coupeville’s varsity and JV will play 19-game regular season schedules, the C-Team has 12 tilts ahead of it.

Three of those, including home match-ups with Squalicum and Mount Vernon, will put the young Wolves on center stage as the only game being played that night.

The other nine times out, all against North Sound Conference foes, the C-Team will play at the same time as Coupeville’s JV.

 

The C-Team sked:

 

Thur-Dec. 12 — Squalicum (6:00)
Tues-Dec. 17 — @Mount Vernon (4:30)
Tues-Jan. 7 — @Granite Falls (3:00)
Wed-Jan. 8 — Mount Vernon (5:00)
Fri-Jan. 10 — Sultan (3:30)
Tues-Jan. 14 — Cedar Park Christian (5:00)
Fri-Jan. 17 — @South Whidbey (5:00)
Tues-Jan. 21 — @King’s (5:00)
Fri-Jan. 24 — @Cedar Park Christian (3:30)
Tues-Jan. 28 — South Whidbey (5:00)
Fri-Jan. 31 — Granite Falls (3:30)
Tues-Feb. 4 — @Sultan (3:30)
