They’re coming home.

Having survived a road trip to the wilds of Sultan Wednesday, the Coupeville Middle School boys basketball teams now get to play three straight in front of their home fans.

The Wolves host Granite Falls Dec. 6 and Northshore Christian Academy Dec. 8, before a rematch against the Turks on Whidbey Dec. 13.

With more experience under their collective belts by then, Coupeville’s young hoops stars can hope for a better result the second time around against Sultan.

How Wednesday played out:

 

Varsity:

Coupeville got double-digits scoring from Chase Anderson and Camden Glover, but fell 51-36 to a notoriously-tough foe.

The loss drops CMS to 1-2 on the season.

After coming out a bit cold — racking up just 13 points in the first half — the Wolves went off for 14 in the third quarter alone.

Anderson sparked that run, netting three bombs from behind the three-point arc.

That was part of a 12-point afternoon for Coupeville’s leading scorer, while Glover was hot on his heels, pumping in 11.

Jayden McManus tossed in eight points — his first tallies of the season — while Aiden O’Neill rounded out the scoring attack by banking in five points.

Mahkai Myles, Riley Lawless, Malachi Somes, Easton Green, and Carson Grove also saw floor time for the Wolves.

 

JV:

Coupeville’s second unit is a work in progress, with few of its players having organized basketball experience, something Sultan took advantage of during a 56-6 win.

Lawless scored all four of his points in the first quarter, while Grove tossed in a bucket in the third.

Jonah Weyl, Matthew Kuzma, George Spear, Zach Blitch, Kenny Jacobsen, Dylan Robinett, Joshua Stockdale, Captain Teuscher, Ethan Walling, Jackson Waterbury, Wyatt Fitch-Marron, Max Ohme, and Myles also played.

The Magic Man is filling up the hoop.

Coupeville Middle School 8th grader Chase Anderson is singing the nets for 19 points a night through the first two games of the boys basketball season.

That puts him atop the scoring charts, a place where 11 Wolves have scratched their names so far.

There’s still a lot of season left to play, with six games remaining, including a road trip to Sultan next Wednesday, Dec. 1.

After that, CMS plays three straight at home, with Granite Falls, Northshore Christian Academy, and Sultan set to make the trip to Whidbey.

Road jaunts to Langley and King’s bring the season to an end in mid-December for Anderson and Co., then the Wolf girls get their shot at the spotlight.

 

Scoring totals through Nov. 26:

Chase Anderson – 38
Camden Glover – 20
Aiden O’Neill – 12
Riley Lawless – 10
Malachi Somes – 9
Easton Green – 6
Carson Grove – 4
Jacob Schooley – 4
Ethan Welling – 3
Wyatt Fitch-Marron – 2
Captain Teuscher – 2

Long trip, big lessons

A big test against a big school.

The Coupeville Middle School boys basketball squads hit the road for the first time this season Tuesday, only to get bounced in Marysville by host Lakewood.

The Cougars program feeds a 2A high school, while the Wolves send their players on to a 2B one.

Coupeville was scrappy, but couldn’t quite get over the hump against its big-school rivals.

How the day played out:

 

Varsity:

A strong second-half rally wasn’t enough for CMS, as it fell 53-42 to even its record at 1-1 on the season.

“Team one got off to an OK start, but had a hard time keeping up with Lakewood,” said Coupeville coach Jon Roberts. “Came out firing in the third, but could never get it below 10.”

The Wolves accounted for 31 of their 42 points after the halftime break, with 17 in the third and 14 in the fourth.

Chase Anderson paced Coupeville with 13 points, including netting a pair of three-balls, while Camden Glover popped for 12.

Malachi Somes (7), Easton Green (6), and Aiden O’Neill (4) also scored, with Jayden McManus, Mahkai Myles, Riley Lawless, and Carson Grove rounding out the Wolf roster.

 

JV:

Coupeville’s second unit is very-inexperienced, and Lakewood took advantage to roll to a 49-13 win.

The loss drops the young Wolves to 0-2 heading into a road game at Sultan Dec. 1.

“This is going to be a difficult year,” Roberts said. “We have a lot of work to do in learning the fundamentals of basketball.

“We struggle with offensively moving the ball and had easy perimeter passes picked off for layups.”

But, as in their opener, the Wolves continue to show positive signs.

“Definitely we are slowing coming together, slowly,” Roberts said. “I will say that by the fourth quarter we looked better offensively, and had some scrappy boys on the floor for loose balls.”

Riley Lawless popped for a team-high six points, with Carson Grove and Ethan Walling adding four and three, respectively.

Also seeing playing time were Jonah Weyl, Wyatt Fitch-Marron, Captain Teuscher, Max Ohme, George Spear, Matthew Kuzma, Jackson Waterbury, Dylan Robinett, Zach Blitch, Joshua Stockdale, and Kenny Jacobsen.

Hardwood heroes shine on opening day

First one is in the books.

The Coupeville Middle School boys basketball team kicked off a new season Thursday, splitting a pair of games with visiting Langley.

Playing in front of an enthusiastic home crowd, the Wolf varsity cruised in for a 45-25 win, while the CMS JV fell 41-10.

All in all, it made for a strong debut.

“The gym was full with many who have never been to see a CMS basketball game!,” said Coupeville coach Jon Roberts.

“It was awesome to feel the excitement and energy.”

How the day played out:

 

Varsity:

Langley hung around for a bit, trailing just 8-4 at the first break, then the Wolves found their shooting touch.

Shots which rimmed out in the first quarter started hitting nothing but the bottom of the net after that, as CMS pushed the lead to 21-6 at the half, then 35-16 heading into the final frame.

“Second (quarter) we started really jelling,” Roberts said. “Camden (Glover) with his high post screen on Chase (Anderson) or Aiden (O’Neill), and then the roll and dish.”

Anderson, who matched Langley by himself with a torrid 25-point performance on opening night, closed out the first half by netting a three-ball with just two ticks left on the clock.

Sharp shooting — after a little bit of an early dry spell — and lights-out defense spurred on the Wolves, who enter the season with only three veterans.

While Anderson had the hot hand, his teammates contributed with pinpoint passing, which pleased the Wolf coaches.

“I wish I had an assist count. It would have been shockingly high!,” Roberts said. “Good screens made for easy give and goes.

“Overall the coaches were happy with the win.”

Glover and O’Neill each tossed in eight points in support of Anderson, while Malachi Somes and Riley Lawless rounded out the scoring with a bucket apiece.

Mahkai Myles, Easton Green, Jayden McManus, and Carson Grove all saw playing time as well, contributing with hustle and smart defense.

 

JV:

Coupeville’s second team is very green, and it showed at times, as many of the Wolves were playing in their first organized team game.

And yet, the Wolves hung tough behind the shooting of Jacob Schooley, staying tied at 4-4 midway through the first quarter.

A 16-0 Langley run in the second frame put the game out of reach, but CMS responded well in the second half.

“South Whidbey was a better-skilled team, with some height to help,” Roberts said. “We will work to get better practice after practice.

“We will learn good solid basketball fundamentals, and hopefully build back this end of the team,” he added. “Hard work in practice will make us a better team.”

Wyatt Fitch-Marron, Captain Teuscher, and Lawless each banged home a bucket in support of Schooley’s four-point effort.

Also seeing playing time were Jonah Weyl, Beckett Green, Max Ohme, George Spear, Matthew Kuzma, Jackson Waterbury, Dylan Robinett, Ethan Walling, Zach Blitch, Joshua Stockdale, Kenny Jacobsen, and Grove.
