Now, basketball is not a one-person game and the Coupeville Middle School 7th grader had a lot of help Thursday during the Wolves’ season opener.
But still, Wells pumped in 20 points across the first three quarters of play, and outscored the visitors by herself as CMS strolled to a 41-15 win.
Opening day featured just one game, and not the normal three, as Northshore only fields a single squad.
Coupeville’s #2 and #3 teams will get a chance to join the #1 Wolf squad in action starting next week, when King’s comes to town Wednesday, Feb. 12.
Thursday was a lopsided affair, as the Wolves jumped on NSA from the get-go, running out to a 13-6 lead at the first break.
Wells pumped in three baskets in the opening frame, while Lauren Marrs kept the defense honest by swishing a long three-ball from behind the arc.
From there, Coupeville went about its business, stretching the margin to 25-10 at the half, and 37-13 by the end of the third quarter.
The Wolves #1 squad is a well-mixed unit, with eight 8th graders and five 7th graders seeing action in the opener.
Age is no barrier to success, as the younger girls accounted for 30 of their team’s 41 points, with Lyla Stuurmans making the nets jump for six points and Mia Farris knocking down four in support of Wells.
Marrs finished with five, while fellow 8th graders Brionna Blouin (4) and Reese Wilkinson (2) rounded out the scoring.
Also seeing action for the Wolves were Desiclali Ramirez-Vasquez, Taylor Brotemarkle, Kayla Arnold, Madison McMillan, Skylar Parker, Kaitlyn Leavell, and Allison Nastali.
