No hoops for you.

Coupeville Middle School has cancelled its home hoops games scheduled for today, a victim of the wind storm that slammed the coast Wednesday night and early Thursday morning.

CMS is actually totally fine, but Blue Heron Middle School in Port Townsend, which was supposed to travel to Whidbey today, is closed.

The school has no power, according to a report by the Port Townsend Leader.

Wolf coaches Ryan King and Bob Martin confirmed the games have been postponed.

They will likely be rescheduled, and we will update this story when and if that happens.

Coupeville, which swept Blue Heron the first time the two schools faced, sits at 4-2 (8th grade varsity) and 2-4 (7th grade varsity), with four games remaining in the season.

UPDATE: As of 11:30 AM Thursday, Blue Heron MS officials are saying they may be unable to reschedule.

If that’s true, CMS will lose one of its five home games and end up with a nine-game schedule.

Coupeville travels to Forks Monday, Mar. 14, hosts Stevens Thursday, Mar. 17 and travels to Sequim Monday, Mar. 21.

“Very proud of their efforts!!”

Megan Thorn tied for team-high honors with four points in the 8th grade JV’s win.

Scout Smith is an assassin.

Saving her best for crunch time, the Coupeville Middle School hoops star poured in seven of her nine points down the stretch Monday to lift the Wolf 8th grade varsity to a wild 33-24 win at Chimacum.

The victory lifted Smith’s squad to 4-2 on the season and gave CMS two wins in three games on their road trip.

Coupeville’s 7th grade varsity was nipped 30-28 in a thriller, while the 8th grade JV got buckets from everyone on their roster en route to a 20-15 win.

8th grade varsity — Hannah Davidson was a force in the middle, dropping in 12, while Smith, Maya Toomey-Stout (5), Avalon Renninger (5) and Tia Wurzrainer (2) helped the cause.

Coupeville pulled off the win despite a thin roster and sometimes playing what seemed like 5-on-7.

“The refs were not on our side tonight,” said CMS coach Bob Martin. “But they (the girls) all played their hearts out.”

Things got dicey after Emma Mathusek went to the bench with a wrenched ankle, followed by Davidson fouling out.

That forced the Wolves to play a man down for a bit, before Mathusek returned, one painful step at a time, to give CMS five players on the floor.

“Emma returned in the fourth with tears and a limp, but didn’t hold anything back, diving, jumping, and leaving it all on the court,” Martin said. “Very proud of their efforts tonight!”

7th grade varsity — The Cowboys got a bit of revenge for an earlier-season loss, holding off the Wolves at the very end.

The loss dropped the young guns to 2-4, but their coach came away pleased with the effort his players gave him.

“It was a great game,” Ryan King said. “Win or lose, I’m proud of these girls.”

Chelsea Prescott paced CMS with 10 points, while Mollie Bailey and Genna Wright each banged away for seven.

Morgan Pease banked home four to round out the offensive attack, while Luci Coleburn and Catherine Lhamon both chipped in with hustle and hard work.

8th grade JV — Seven different Wolves scored, but it was their work on the defensive end that sealed the deal.

Wurzrainer, Megan Thorn and Seraina Weatherford each knocked down four, while Cassidy Moody, Marenna Rebischke-Smith, Cynthia Rachal and Melia Welling all chipped in with a basket.

New hoops stars rise to claim the throne!!

Connor Barton floats like a butterfly, but he stings like a bee.

Jacobi Pacquette-Pilgrim skies for a rebound.

Ride him, cowboy.

Will he shoot or pass? Koa Davison is a man of mystery.

Raining down fire from above, it’s high-flying Jake Mitten.

Jered Brown slices ‘n dices the defense.

No matter how early in the morning it might be, Caleb Meyer is always enthusiastic about playing defense.

The future is out there, working every weekend.

Coupeville’s SWISH boys’ basketball squads continue to put in work, with both the 7th and 8th grade teams playing Saturday.

The 7th grade team (which is actually a 50-50 split between 6th and 7th graders) finished fourth at a regular season-ending tournament.

The Wolves upended Ferndale 30-28, then lost close battles against Sultan and Oak Harbor, which came to battle with deep rosters chock full of older players.

In the win, Matthew Kelley dropped in 12 points, snatched five rebounds, dealt out two assists and pilfered three steals.

Jake Mitten pounded away for 11 points and five boards, while Daniel Olson (4), Caleb Meyer (2) and Connor Barton (1) also scored.

Daniel Barajas made off with two steals, Hawthorne Wolfe snatched two rebounds and Logan Martin, Alex Jimenez and Dakota Eck all saw playing time.

The 7th grade squad travels to Spokane next weekend, where they’ll close the season with an appearance at the state tourney.

As the two squads were playing Saturday, travelin’ photo man John Fisken wiled away the hours, avoiding the sunlight in service of Wolf parents.

Need buckets? We deliver!!

All three 8th grade Wolves shown here — (l to r) Avalon Renninger, Hannah Davidson and Scout Smith — have had success droppin’ buckets this season.

To be a truly successful basketball player, you need to be effective on both sides of the ball.

That being said, games are won and lost by how many points are scored.

Plus, points are the easiest stat to keep track of, and I am, if nothing else, in favor of taking the easy route on most things.

So, here we go, (unofficial) scoring stats for Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball players at the halfway point of their 10-game season.

Two quick notes.

First, these stats are for 7th or 8th grade varsity games (JV scoring is not included).

Second, the 7th graders only played a half game against Forks, so their numbers are based on 4.5 games, making the leading scorer’s numbers even more impressive.

CMS girls’ varsity scoring stats:

Chelsea Prescott 63
Scout Smith 34
Avalon Renninger 32
Morgan Pease 20
Hannah Davidson 19
Maya Toomey-Stout 19
Genna Wright 19
Emma Mathusek 15
Mollie Bailey 10
Brooke Ausman 2
Luci Coleburn 2
Cassidy Moody 2
Megan Thorn 2
Seraina Weatherford 2

Avalon Renninger (right) is a beast when it comes to pursuing loose balls, something Wolf coaches and fans greatly appreciate.

Tia Wurzrainer has eyes only for the basket.

CHS senior McKenzie Bailey takes a break from her busy life to lead the cheers for lil’ sis Mollie.

"Simmer down, lady. I'm trying to work. I'll sign autographs later."

Megan Thorn (5) is intent on keeping any and all pesky defenders far away from high-scoring teammate Cassidy Moody when she’s operating with the ball.

They own the court and the cameraman’s attention.

The Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball squads are the last teams still playing hoops in town, and they hit the midway point of their season Thursday.

As the Wolves faced off with visiting Sequim, travelin’ photo man John Fisken surprised everyone by popping into the gym to document the goings on.
