They let them hang around for a bit.

But just a bit.

Putting the game away with a strong surge across the second and third quarters Friday, the Coupeville High School JV girls basketball team buried visiting Sultan 33-15.

With the win, the Wolves earn a season sweep of the Turks, while surging to a flawless 3-0 in North Sound Conference action, 6-2 overall.

Now, like their varsity counterparts, the JV girls won’t play in front of their home fans for almost three weeks.

Both girls programs have five straight games on the road ahead of them, not returning to the Coupeville gym until January 31, when Granite Falls comes to The Rock.

Friday night the Wolves came out a bit slowly, settling for a 5-5 tie at the first break.

After that, it was Turk crunchin’ time, as Coupeville used 9-2 and 15-3 runs across the next two periods to break things open.

CHS coach Megan Smith spread the offensive love around, with Alita Blouin and Ryanne Knoblich carrying most of the load in the second quarter, before Gwen Gustafson and Jessenia Camarena began to heat up in the third frame.

Blouin finished the game atop a very-balanced scoring attack, rattling the rims for eight points, while Camarena, Knoblich and Gustafson knocked down six apiece.

Savana Allen (4), Morgan Stevens (2), and Ella Colwell (1) also scored, while Claire Mayne, Abby Mulholland, and Heidi Meyers all played strongly on defense for the Wolves.

Everyone eats.

That was the mantra Friday for the Coupeville High School JV boys basketball team, as 13 different players scored during a blowout win over visiting Sultan.

By the time the Wolves were done shredding the Turks 70-14, CHS coach Chris Smith had a full scorebook and his third win in the last four games.

With the victory, Coupeville’s young guns improve to 2-0 in North Sound Conference play, 6-3 overall.

The Wolves will carry their hot streak back into action next week, when they host Cedar Park Christian, then travel to South Whidbey.

Friday night Coupeville came out firing and never let up, raining down shots from every angle as it built a 21-2 lead after one quarter of play, then a 46-5 edge at the half.

With a running clock in the second half, CHS didn’t have time to put up as many points, but still closed strongly with 9-3 and 15-6 runs across the final two frames.

Grady Rickner paced the Wolf attack, netting a pair of three-balls en route to a game-high 12 points.

Freshman Alex Murdy was next man up with nine, while Daniel Olson, Sage Downes, and Logan Martin banked in eight points apiece.

Rounding out the scoring were Xavier Murdy (6), Miles Davidson (5), Andrew Aparicio (4), Alex Jimenez (2), Chris Ruck (2), TJ Rickner (2), Cody Roberts (2), and Chris Cernick (2).

Blues, Stone keep hot streak burning

The appetizer course? Delicious.

Kicking off a big weekend of hoops action, the Whitman College women’s basketball team routed visiting Lewis & Clark College 78-47 Friday night behind 19 points and 10 rebounds from Coupeville’s Makana Stone.

Now, the Blues, 3-0 in Northwest Conference play, 11-1 overall, get a stiffer challenge Saturday, when they welcome Willamette University (3-0, 9-3) to town.

The winner will move into a first-place tie with Pacific University (4-0, 10-3), a team Whitman travels to play January 17.

Friday’s game was a bit of a potential trap for the Blues, who are ranked #12 in NCAA D-III play.

Lewis & Clark entered the night with a 1-9 record, and might have looked like easy pickings.

Instead, the Pioneers came out strongly, trailing just 16-13 at the first break, then knotting things up 25-25 at the half.

Whitman was a different team after the break, however, with Stone going off for 15 of her 19 points during a 28-15 third-quarter surge.

Once they had the game back in hand, the Blues closed like savages, blowing Lewis & Clark off the floor to a 25-7 tune in the final frame.

Stone, who led Whitman in both points and rebounds, also made off with three steals and handed off an assist during a crisp 20 minutes of action.

On the season, the former Wolf sits with 182 points, 102 rebounds, 15 assists, 17 steals, and 12 blocked shots, while shooting 73-136 (53.7%) from the floor and 34-42 (81%) at the free throw line.

Friday’s game included another milestone for Stone, as she became just the seventh player in Whitman women’s basketball history to top 1,100 career points.

With 1,110 and counting, the Blues senior is just 35 points shy of catching former teammate Casey Poe for 6th on the all-time Blues scoring chart.

Join Wolf hoops in cancer fight

Marty and June Mazdra

Two key members of the Coupeville High School basketball community will be honored Friday, as the Wolf hoops squads host Coaches vs. Cancer games.

CHS is set to play Sultan, with games at 5:00 and 6:45.

The Wolves will pay tribute to Bennett Boyles and June Mazdra, while the Turks will also have an honoree.

Donations will be accepted at the game, as well as online, with proceeds from the night going to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Boyles is a member of the CHS Class of 2022 who lost a courageous battle at age 12 with Glioblastoma Multiforme, a form of brain cancer.

He played basketball alongside many of the current Wolf players on SWISH teams, and a seat will be left open on the Coupeville boys bench for him.

Mazdra, when she’s not doing her day job as a custodian at Coupeville Middle School, is the woman with the magic pencil.

She keeps the most beautifully written, precise basketball scorebooks in the biz, and has done so for decades, beginning when she was still a student at CHS.

Diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, Mazdra continues to stand tall in her fight, surrounded by family, friends, and fans.

If you can’t make it to Friday’s games in person, donations can be made online.
