The Turks got tamed.

Sultan invaded Whidbey Island Wednesday and ended up suffering a pair of losses at the hands of Coupeville before their middle school girls’ basketball teams could get back to the safety of the bus.

“Girls played great! 8th grade varsity won, 7th grade varsity won and JV lost by a few,” said CMS coach Brett Smedley.

The most dominant performance of the afternoon came from the Wolf 8th grade varsity, which held Sultan scoreless for the first 11 minutes of the game, rolling out to a 13-0 lead.

Coupeville’s young guns continue to sparkle on the soccer pitch.

This time around it was CMS 7th grader James Wood, who blasted home a goal in his team’s victory Saturday.

Paced by scores from Wood and Oak Harbor duo Jadyn and Alex Johnston, the North Whidbey Islanders Boys FC-01 squad bounced rival South Whidbey 3-1 for its first win of the spring.

The Islanders bring together the best of Central and North Whidbey, with eight players hailing from Coupeville (six 6th graders and two 7th graders) and eight from Oak Harbor.

Coached by Ryan Baker of Oak Harbor, the booters are playing in a league that runs through April 4.

The Islanders get right back at it this Saturday, Feb. 28, when they host Kent Black 1:30 PM at Wildcat Stadium in Oak Harbor.

They’re getting hot at the right time.

Riding a late-season hot streak, the Coupeville 6th grade boys’ SWISH basketball squad nipped Ferndale 37-33 Saturday to seize control of their own playoff destiny.

With one game left in the regular season — Saturday, Feb. 28 against Burlington-Edison — the Wolves sit at 4-3.

Win their finale and they get a playoff opener against Friday Harbor, a team currently on a four-game losing skid.

Facing off with a tough Ferndale team, Coupeville fought valiantly through a game that saw seven lead changes.

The final switch came when the Wolves went on a 6-0 tear to go in front 20-17. After that, they never relinquished the lead again.

Jake Mitten was a beast, dropping 17 points, snatching 12 rebounds, making off with two steals and rejecting a pair of shots, despite being tied to the bench for a third of the game with foul trouble.

Matthew Kelley (11 points, seven rebounds, five assists, four steals), Sage Downes (six points, four steals), Daniel Olson (three points, three assists and two steals) filled up the stat sheet in support.

While they didn’t score, Dakota Eck, Alex Jimenez and Erik Webster “were animals on defense and controlled the paint down low,” said coach Pat Kelley.

Logan Downes, playing against guys three grades older than he is, “was instrumental in the final two minutes of press defense, preventing Ferndale from scoring or controlling the ball.”

Michael Laska and Raimee Anderson chipped in with stellar ‘d,’ helping to lead the attack on the ball at mid court, forcing several turnovers.

With one game to play, nine of the ten players on the roster have scored, led by Kelley (65 points), Sage Downes (63), Mitten (48), and Olson (44).

The Wolves have combined for 238 points (34 a game) and 175 rebounds.

Kelley has 78 rebounds and 27 steals, followed by Mitten (64, 18), Sage Downes (29, 27) and Olson (24, 14).

You shall not pass (or score)!!

The defense was inspired.

Holding Arlington scoreless until a buzzer beater at the end of the third quarter Saturday, the Coupeville 6th grade boys’ basketball SWISH squad rolled to a convincing 24-6 victory.

The win lifted the Wolves to 4-3 with two games to play in the regular season.

Coupeville closes with match-ups against Ferndale and Burlington-Edison before starting the postseason push.

Facing a hack-happy Arlington team that eventually fouled out three players (and had a fourth benched for his behavior), the Wolves rolled out to a 14-0 lead at the half.

After a brief 6-2 run by their rivals, Coupeville closed out the game with another 10 straight, many from the free-throw line.

Matthew Kelley paced the Wolves, hitting for 10, with a three-point bomb and seven charity stripe shots. He also snatched 14 rebounds to nail down his second double-double of the season.

Sage Downes (four points, nine rebounds, three blocked shots), Daniel Olson (four points, four rebounds, two blocked shots), Jake Mitten (three points, six steals, eight rebounds), Alex Jimenez (two points) and Dakota Eck (one point, two steals) all filled up the stat sheet as well.

When they weren’t scoring, the Wolves were lights out on defense.

“They were a solid wall with Olson and Sage wreaking havoc on Arlington’s guards while Kelley, Mitten and Eck would not permit shots in the paint or lower perimeter,” said Coupeville coach Pat Kelley. “Jimenez and Erik Webster assisted down low repeatedly stopping Arlington’s attempts to enter the paint or shoot anything other then a far three attempt.

“Logan Downes and Michael Laska assisted on the top of the key with a stifling attack that prevented Arlington from moving the ball,” he added. “Defensively it was the best game of the season.”
