  The future of Wolf basketball is already well aware of how to star in team photos.

The road warriors continue to roll.

Despite playing their entire season away from Whidbey, Coupeville’s 6th/7th grade SWISH girls’ basketball team is soaring.

The latest accomplishment? A decisive doubleheader win Saturday, in which the Wolves won both games by double digits and improved their season mark to a crisp 7-2.

Coupeville shredded Anacortes 20-4, then thumped on Friday Harbor 16-2.

Both the victories, and the manner in which they were captured, showcase a bright future for the young Wolves.

“They play hard and our defense is smothering,” said coach Dustin Van Velkinburgh.

With Coupeville High School girls hoops on top (both the Wolf varsity and JV went 9-0 in league play last year), and the farm system kicking once again into high-gear, it is reawakening memories of the glory days in the late ’90s-mid 2000’s.

David and Amy King have the high school program humming, Bob Martin and Brett Smedley are setting them up with strong work at the middle school level and Van Velkinburgh and Lark Gustafson (3rd to 5th grade SWISH) are igniting hoops passion at a young age.

Their players want to grow up to be the next Makana Stone, the next Kacie Kiel, and one day hang banners in the CHS gym like that duo and past Wolf greats like Ashley Bagby-Ellsworth, Lexie Black and Brianne King.

And this is how that starts, by filling the pipeline on a regular basis, as the town once did so well.

“Mini factory in the ‘Ville,” Van Velkinburgh said with a pleased sigh. “Reminds me of the days of yesteryear.

“Fun years to come!”

Matthew Kelley (10) will not be denied. The ball belongs to him.

The guys have first.

Middle school basketball officially kicks off next Monday (Nov. 30) when Coupeville hosts Chimacum.

Tip-off time is 3:15, with the 8th graders playing in the high school gym and the 7th graders holding court across the hallway in the middle school gym.

That will hold true for a 10-game schedule which has the CMS boys playing at home on Mondays and on the road Thursdays.

The boys wrap their season Jan. 14, then the Wolf girls will inherit the court starting Feb. 1.

As you mentally prepare for the home opener, here’s a look at the roster, which numbers 27 players including a number of guys who have been already making names for themselves at the SWISH level.

7th grade:

Tyson Bovee
Michael Breuer
Alex Jimenez
