Never back down, never surrender

Backs against the wall, they played their best.

The Coupeville High School C-Team boys basketball squad knew it would be in for a rough night Tuesday, hitting the road to play Mount Vernon’s freshmen.

The Bulldogs attend a 4A school, while the Wolves rep a 2B-sized student body spending its final year in 1A.

Plus, Mount Vernon has been especially strong, routing teams left and right.

So, when I tell you the Bulldogs rolled to a 65-13 win, it’s not a huge surprise.

But just because they lost doesn’t mean the Wolves, who sit at 1-2 on the season, went down easy.

Sparked by the play of Chris Cernick, Coupeville put together its best stretch of the game in the fourth quarter, holding its own while being nipped just 10-9.

“Chris had a good game for our team,” said CHS coach Patrick Upchurch. “He led with two blocks, six rebounds, and really aggressive defense to help lead the charge in the fourth quarter.”

Cernick, a second-year hoops player who also doubles as a soccer star, popped for six points, sharing team-high honors with Ty Hamilton.

Alex Wasik slid a free throw through the twine to round out Coupeville’s scoring.

Also seeing floor time for the Wolves were Nick Armstrong, Ben Smith, Dominic Coffman, Simon Shelley, Brayden Coatney, Coen Killian, and Josh Upchurch.

While Coupeville’s varsity and JV have two games left before winter break, neither of their opponents fields a C-Team, so the young Wolves don’t play again until the first week of January.

Tell me where we stand

The race is starting to take shape.

Not a single North Sound Conference basketball team has played a league contest yet, but that’s about to change. At least a little bit.

Four of the six girls squads square off for the first time Tuesday, with Coupeville traveling to Sultan, and South Whidbey visiting Bothell to play Cedar Park Christian.

Meanwhile, on the boys side of the floor, Sultan and Granite Falls vie Tuesday, with King’s and CPC clashing Wednesday.

That’s just the tip of what will be a very busy week, as tons o’ non-conference action fills the schedule.

All total, there are 15 boys games and 11 girls contests involving NSC teams between Monday and Saturday of this week.

For Coupeville, both of its teams have three games to play, with two foes being the same.

The Wolf girls face Sultan, then travel to Port Townsend Thursday and host Nooksack Valley Saturday.

For the CHS boys, it’s three straight home games, with Chimacum, Port Townsend, and Nooksack on the books Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, respectively.

As we get ready for the ball to hit the net (repeatedly), a look at where teams currently sit on the ol’ win/loss chart:

 

North Sound Conference girls basketball:

School League Overall
Coupeville 0-0 5-1
CPC-Bothell 0-0 3-3
Granite Falls 0-0 1-4
King’s 0-0 3-2
South Whidbey 0-0 2-3
Sultan 0-0 1-4

 

North Sound Conference boys basketball:

School League Overall
Coupeville 0-0 2-4
CPC-Bothell 0-0 3-2
Granite Falls 0-0 0-4
King’s 0-0 2-1
South Whidbey 0-0 5-0
Sultan 0-0 0-4

Battling for a loose ball, or the last cookie at a bake sale? (Photo by JohnsPhotos.net)

Have a spare buck? You’re in luck.

When you pop by the Coupeville High School gym this coming Saturday, Dec. 21, for that afternoon’s basketball doubleheader against Nooksack Valley, there’ll be something extra in the concession stand.

Actually, a whole lot of extra.

Along with the normal hot dogs, Red Vines, and popcorn, baked goods of all sorts will be on display, ready for your purchasing and chomping.

All goodies will be $1, so you can make it rain, just in a more PG kind of way.

Proceeds from the bake sale go to the CHS Class of 2021, whose parents run the concession stand.

Saturday’s games will be the final ones played in 2019, as the Wolf basketball squads head out on winter break afterwards, not returning to action until the first week of January.

Tip-off is 1:00 for girls varsity and boys JV, with boys varsity and girls JV games set for 2:45ish.

Best start in a decade

They’re getting historical.

Sparked by a big second quarter Saturday, the Coupeville High School varsity girls basketball team clobbered The Bush School to keep its early-season hot streak alive.

With the 41-28 non-conference road victory in Seattle, the Wolves are on a four-game winning streak and sit at 5-1.

That’s the best start by a CHS girls hoops team since the 2009-2010 squad, which was led in scoring by current JV coach Megan Smith, opened 6-1.

Coupeville, which plays its first North Sound Conference game next Tuesday, Dec. 17, when it travels to Sultan, is mixing aggressive defense with opportunistic scoring.

First-year head coach Scott Fox has a 13-player roster, and it’s a mix of seasoned vets who enjoyed success under previous coach David King before he retired, and young guns looking to make their own mark.

Saturday’s game perfectly captured Coupeville’s “something new, something old” style, as senior Scout Smith, and her likely heir at point guard, freshman Maddie Georges, teamed up to batter their foes.

Smith scored in every quarter, topping the Wolves with 10 points, while Georges nailed a pair of three-balls in the decisive second quarter, en route to eight points of her own.

The duo were part of a very-balanced offense, as eight different CHS players scratched their names into the scorebook.

Coupeville, whose only loss was to 3A Oak Harbor, which is also off to its best start in years at 5-0, came out strongly on the road.

Attacking the basket with intensity, the Wolves opened up a 10-7 lead after one quarter, then dropped the hammer with a 17-7 run in the night’s second frame.

Georges lit the fuse during that surge with her treys, but Smith, Avalon Renninger, Hannah Davidson, Izzy Wells, and Kylie Van Velkinburgh also netted buckets as CHS was unstoppable.

The Bush School players stiffened their collective spines during halftime and played Coupeville to a dead heat in the second half, with the third quarter going 9-9 and the fourth finishing 5-5, but it was too late for a rally.

“Well, we did it again,” Fox said. “Scout stepped up big time and led us like a senior.

“Maddie played great and Hannah controlled the middle; another team win.”

While Smith (10) and Georges (8) had the hottest shooting touch, Davidson and Chelsea Prescott were hot on their heels, dropping in six points apiece.

Wells (4), Renninger (3), Mollie Bailey (2), and Van Velkinburgh (2) rounded out the offensive attack, with Tia Wurzrainer, Carolyn Lhamon, Audrianna Shaw, and Anya Leavell garnering quality floor time.

After playing at Sultan, the Wolves play two non-conference games next week, traveling to Port Townsend Thursday and hosting Nooksack Valley Saturday.

After that, they’re off for 12 days, returning Jan. 3 to kick-off the 2020 portion of the 2019-2020 hoops season.
