What brings a team together? A camera. Always.

Sarah Wright (33) gazes into the future. “We’re gonna kick some booty at the high school level!”

Kalia Littlejohn, who has been battling illness all season, texts her future opponents. “Dear Sir or Madam, I’m gonna drop 20 on you. All my best, Kalia.”

Smith is already learning how best to deal with the paparazzi.

Learn their names now, because you’ll be hearing and reading them a lot in the future.

Lindsey. Kalia. Scout. Avalon. And on and on.

The young women who played basketball for Coupeville Middle School may have wrapped up their season Thursday, but they’ll be back.

Bigger. Taller. Stronger. Quicker. More well-honed in the basketball arts.

They were successful on the floor this time around, and that should carry over as they begin to move up and join the very successful CHS squads — the high school varsity and JV went a combined 18-0 in league play — in the coming years.

Until then, here are eight snappy pics of the young guns in action, on and off the court, from the finale in Langley.

The future starts now.

Dream it! Be it!!

Are you a young woman in grades 8-11, attending Coupeville schools (as some of these randomly-selected athletes are)? Let your voice be heard. (John Fisken photo)

Amy Briscoe wants to talk to your daughters.

She and her fellow Coupeville Soroptimists are part of a global program to help young women who face obstacles to their future success.

The program — “Dream It, Be It: Career Support for Girls” — provides girls with access to professional role models, career education and the resources necessary to accomplish their goals.

Financial backing will also be offered starting this year.

The local branch would like to set up a Girls Advisory Group with a small group of CHS students.

Plans call for two students from each of the four grades to be included in the initial group.

The Soroptimists are looking for students currently in grades 8-11, so they would all be current high schoolers next school year, when the advisory group will start meeting.

The students selected for the group will help the Soroptimists plan, implement and evaluate their “Dream It, Be It” projects.

For more information, students and/or parents can contact Briscoe at albriscoe1074@gmail.com.

The national Soroptimist web site can be found at: http://www.soroptimist.org/

Sarah Wright (33) owns the paint. Everyone else is just renting space.

Tia Wurzrainer runs the offense.

First they cracked Granite. Then they swept ’em up.

Throwing down beat-downs on host Granite Falls, both of the Coupeville Middle School girls’ varsity basketball squads won handily Monday.

The 7th grade Wolves strolled to a 34-20 win, while the 8th grade team ran away with a 37-18 victory behind the play of Ema Smith and Lindsey Roberts.

Roberts tore up the Tiger defense, dropping a team-high 14 that included a flawless 8-of-8 performance at the charity stripe.

CMS will wrap its hoops season with a road game at Langley Thursday, Mar. 12. Tip-off is 3 PM.

Trophy time!!

Then Logan Downes (3) got hoisted, as well.

One loss at the wrong time stung the Wolves.

A “heartbreaking” 21-19 defeat at the hands of Burlington-Edison Saturday — a team they had beaten in the regular season — cost the Coupeville 6th grade SWISH boys’ basketball team a shot at a postseason title.

The Wolves rebounded, drilling Mount Vernon Mayhem 28-13 to capture fourth place in the season-ending “C-Fidalgo” Division Tournament.

But it was a bit of a missed opportunity as the four teams to advance to the semifinals were teams Coupeville (7-4 overall) had gone 5-0 against during the regular season.

The opener against Burlington pitted the Wolves against a defensive-minded team, and the score showed as much.

Matthew Kelley banged home a three-point bomb near the end of the first quarter to account for the only bucket in the opening frame.

Up 11-5 at the half, Coupeville went cold after the break, eventually surrendering the lead in the game’s final two minutes.

Kelley paced the Wolves with seven points while Jake Mitten dropped in six and snatched a team-high 14 boards. Sage Downes popped for four and Daniel Olson netted a bucket to round out the scoring.

The loss left a sour taste for a Wolf squad with high hopes.

“There was some crying, which we need to work out since the weekend was not over,” said Coupeville coach Pat Kelley.

Rebounding after a four-hour break, Coupeville ran the Mayhem, who were built like a football squad, off the floor.

“I played the little guys over half the game,” Pat Kelley said. “It was never really close and we had double their score most of the game. They had some garbage buckets at the end.”

Kelley and Downes each hit for nine in the second game, with Mitten hitting for six and Olson swishing four.

Twice Coupeville hit on a beautiful Olson to Kelley to Mitten fast-passing play that resulted in easy buckets.

“Ran this play to perfection,” Pat Kelley said. “Something to see; it takes less then two seconds. Their passing was on.”

Shenanigans on the bench.

“She’s … right … behind me … isn’t she?”

CMS coach Brett Smedley lays down some wisdom.

Scout Smith wheels and deals.

The 8th grade varsity clamps down on defense.

“I can see the future of Wolf basketball and it’s a bright one!”

Roberts gets some flowers from her ever-growing fan club.

The future of Wolf hoops is a bright one.

At the high school level, the varsity girls’ squad went 15-7 and won a league title, while the JV went 14-5. Both teams were a flawless 9-0 in league play.

Meanwhile, the Coupeville Middle School teams, which will provide more weapons for the big leagues in the next year or two, are playing impressive ball of their own.

Roving photo man John Fisken was hanging around the gym Monday as the Wolves played their final home game of the season (they finish with three straight on the road) and snapped the pics above.
