They’re rolling a 21 so far.

Two days into the start of practice, Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball coaches Brett Smedley and Bob Martin have a strong pack of girls.

A split? We’ll take it!!

“I hate double headers for this very reason. Bad enough playing early in the morning.”

Coming off a huge opening win over a talented Arlington squad that dropped down a division in search of a title, the Coupeville 6th grade boys’ SWISH basketball team ran out of steam in its second game Saturday.

The ensuing 31-24 loss to a tall Friday Harbor squad gave the Wolves a split on the day (they bounced Arlington 31-28) and left coach Pat Kelley with the slight case of the grumbles captured in the opening quote.

Still, Coupeville sits at 2-1 in an ultra-competitive division, with games against Sedro-Woolley and Ferndale up next on the schedule.

The Wolves opened play Saturday firing on all cylinders, shooting out to a 10-2 lead on Arlington.

“They ran into a buzz saw, being a very talented Coupeville squad,” Kelley said.

The game settled into a back-and-forth rhythm after that, with the two teams swapping out leads until Coupeville put the game on ice in the final two minutes.

A bit ragged after a tough game, the Wolves had to hop right back on the floor — it was their only doubleheader of the season — and they struggled in the early going against a fresh Friday Harbor team.

Coupeville rallied late behind Matthew Kelley, Daniel Olson, Jake Mitten and Sage Downes, but time ran out on them.

Young Wolves run, gun ‘n stun!!

Cold-blooded closers.

The fast-rising stars who grace the roster for Coupeville’s 6th grade SWISH boys’ basketball squad know how to put a game away.

Clinging to a four-point lead in the third quarter Saturday in their season-opening game in Mount Vernon, the Wolves suddenly clicked a switch.

Boom! 13-3 run to slam the door shut and a 37-23 victory over Orcas Island.

Better yet, the young Wolves, who hit the boards with authority, spread the offensive glory around, with four different players getting in the score-book.

Matthew Kelley paced Coupeville with a game-high 18, while Daniel Olson banked in nine, including a long-range bomb from three point land.

Sage Downes dropped in six, Jake Mitten popped for two and Coupeville picked up a basket for free when their opponents accidentally scored on the wrong basket.

Want to be a vital part of the future of Coupeville High School boys’ basketball?

If you’re a boy in grades seven or eight, or know one who attends school in Cow Town, now is the time to get them signed up with a SWISH basketball squad that kicks off play Saturday, Jan. 17.

The team, coached by Bob Brown, needs 7-10 players, but currently only has four that are signed up.

This is a chance for hoops players to get in 8-12 games (the team already has a gym reserved for the season) and improve skills in the time leading up to playing high school ball.

Coupeville has a fully-staffed sixth grade team which opened play today.

Getting a 7th/8th grade squad off the ground now would provide a perfect link between that team and the high school.

For more information, contact Brown at kota@whidbey.com.
