The climb continues.

Sparked by a dominant performance from Camden Glover, the Coupeville High School varsity boys’ basketball squad drilled host Concrete Tuesday night, continuing a recent rise up the standings.

With a 72-32 decimation of the Lions, Brad Sherman’s road warriors get to 3-3 in Northwest 2B/1B League action, 6-8 overall.

Cresting at the right time, the Wolves have won five of their last eight games overall, and their last three against conference rivals.

The win lifts CHS into a three-way tie with Darrington (3-3, 9-6) and Friday Harbor (3-3, 3-13) for third place in the seven-team NWL.

Mount Vernon Christian (5-0, 11-4) and Orcas Island (5-1, 9-5) currently top the standings, with Concrete (1-4, 4-12) and La Conner (0-6, 0-15) bringing up the rear.

Coupeville has four regular season games left on its schedule, all against league foes, starting with a home game Friday against Orcas Island.

The Wolves will enter play that night coming off a wire-to-wire win in Concrete.

With Glover and Chase Anderson combining to singe the nets for 15 points, CHS broke out to an 18-2 lead through one quarter of play, before steadily adding to the lead.

From 35-16 at the half, the Wolves pushed the advantage to 54-22 through three quarters, before rumbling in for the win.

Glover finished with a varsity career-high 28 points, all coming in the first three quarters, while Anderson banked in 14 in support.

Davin Houston (8), Riley Lawless (6), Malachi Somes (6), Carson Grove (4), Liam Blas (3), Easton Green (2), and Aiden O’Neill (1) all kept the scorebook keeper busy, while Nathan Coxsey rounded out the rotation.

With his 14 points, Anderson moves into a tie with Hunter Smith at #13 all-time on the CHS boys’ basketball scoring chart, which launched 109 seasons ago. The duo each have 847 points.

Up next is Bill Jarrell (855) and Arik Garthwaite (867), with Denny Clark (869) sitting at #10 and Anderson’s coach, one Brad Sherman, currently #9 at 874.

Stockdale and Co. crack Concrete

Josh Stockdale was a one-man wrecking crew.

Pouring in 21 points Tuesday in Concrete, the Coupeville High School junior outscored his hosts by himself, spurring the Wolf JV boys’ basketball squad to a 57-17 win.

The victory lifts CHS to 5-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 6-6 overall.

Tuesday’s tilt was a lopsided affair from start to finish, as the Wolves exploded out to a 16-1 lead by the first break.

Stockdale and Nathan Coxsey both dropped in five points during the opening frame, as Coupeville put the game well out of reach.

Concrete, which had great difficulty scoring in three of the four quarters, did make a stand in the second, outscoring the Wolves 12-9 to cut the deficit back slightly to 25-13 at the half.

But after that it was all Wolves, all the time, with Stockdale banking in 15 of his 21 after halftime.

Coupeville used a 12-4 surge in the third to seal the deal, before blowing up the scoreboard in the fourth to the tune of 20-0.

Khanor Jump knocked down 10 points in support of Stockdale’s efforts, while Coxsey tickled the twines for nine and Ayden Warren rattled the rim for eight.

Liam Lawson (5) and Brian Thompson (4) rounded out the offensive attack, with Trent Thule and Jaden Flores Garcia also seeing floor time for the Wolves.

Wolves rampage to big road win

Consider it an early Christmas gift for Brad Sherman.

Back on the floor after a schedule scramble, the Coupeville High School varsity boys’ basketball squad drilled host Concrete 67-31 Tuesday night, sending their coach to the holiday break on a high note.

The victory, coming in a “non-conference game against a conference foe,” lifts the Wolves to 2-5 on the season.

The game was added to the schedule after CHS was unable to go East this past weekend for games against Manson and Entiat due to bad weather at the passes.

While Coupeville and Concrete are rivals in the Northwest 2B/1B League, the 2B schools such as Coupeville normally only play 1B schools Darrington and Concrete once during the hoops season.

That regularly scheduled rumble will arrive Jan. 20, with the Wolves once again hitting the road to travel to the town made famous on movie screens by Leonardo Di Caprio and Robert De Niro.

Now, barring any more late-breaking additions to the schedule, Coupeville’s boys are off until Jan. 3, when they climb on the bus for a trip to play non-conference foe Morton-White Pass.

Tuesday’s tilt, coming against a winless Concrete squad which dropped to 0-5, was a romp from start to finish.

The Wolves, sparked by 14 first-quarter points from Chase Anderson, ran out to a 21-11 lead by the first break, then stretched the advantage to 40-22 by the half.

Camden Glover banked in 10 points during the second quarter, while Coupeville got scoring from five different players during a 23-2 surge in the third frame to end things with a bang.

Sherman was able to spread floor time out between 10 Wolves in uniform, with eight of them scoring on this night.

Anderson finished with a game-high 20, all compiled in the first three quarters, while Glover (12) and Davin Houston (10) also reached double-digits.

Malachi Somes (9), Aiden O’Neill (6), Riley Lawless (4), Easton Green (4), and Sage Arends (2) all chipped in to the offensive attack, with Liam Blas and Carson Grove helping anchor the Wolf defense.

Two Wolves reached personal milestones in the victory, with Anderson cracking the 700-point club for his career — he sits with 709 and counting and is the 22nd CHS boy to reach the mark for a program launched in 1917.

Meanwhile, Glover surged into the top 150 scorers all-time, passing former standouts like Ryan Blouin, Dale Sherman, and Scott Stuurmans.

The burly senior now has 195 career points and is currently tied with Mitch Aparicio and John Engstrom at #145 on the career list.

Sweet spiker swan song for “The Red Dragon”

“I always loved volleyball, even before it was offered to me as a sport.”

Teagan Calkins, the lone senior on this year’s Coupeville High School varsity spiker crew, offered her family, coaches, and teammates some heartfelt words Thursday night before her final home match.

Then, backed by giddy fans waving large photos of her head attached to sticks, “The Red Dragon” did what she does best.

Go out and thump on people.

Delivering 13 kills, including a couple which peeled the paint off the gym floor, Calkins sparked her young teammates to a 25-23, 25-14, 25-13 victory over visiting Concrete, keeping Coupeville’s playoff hopes alive.

With the win, the Wolves — rebuilding after graduation gutted the roster from a squad which finished 4th at state last season — get to 2-7 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 4-8-1 overall.

CHS closes conference play with a trip to Orcas Island Oct. 28, and would currently nab the fourth, and final, berth from the NWL to the 2B district tourney.

Perhaps experiencing some Senior Night hangover, the Wolves started slowly Thursday, falling behind 5-0, and not getting back even until 21-21.

From there, Coupeville claimed its first lead at 22-21, fell back behind at 23-22, then closed with three straight points thanks to some big-time hitting.

Haylee Armstrong floated in from the left side to nail a tip winner, before Calkins erupted for back-to-back floor burner spikes to make sure Concrete knew what pain was still to come.

Even down 20-12 at one point in the opening frame, the Wolves remained in a good mood, with Armstrong kicking off a game of duck-duck-goose during a stoppage in play.

Of course, having Adeline Maynes torch Concrete from the service line, ringing up seven straight points as CHS charged back into contention, didn’t hurt, either.

Once the first set was in hand, the Wolves began to really roll.

Two Concrete players ran into each other while trying to return the first serve from Tenley Stuurmans in set #2, and it went downhill fast from there for the Lions.

Armstrong, Stuurmans, and Calkins took turns whacking winners, often times ripping off a random arm or leg from a rival in the process, and CHS romped out to a 15-4 lead.

The Wolves stretched the advantage to as many as 13 points, and a set which began with two Lions colliding ended with a Concrete server airmailing a ball that nicked Coupeville coach Scout Smith as she stood at the end of the bench.

The final set was closer — for a hot moment at least — but strong service runs from Armstrong and Maynes, and a whole bunch of mighty mashin’ from Calkins kept the Wolves in front from start to finish.

Near the end, Ari Cunningham unleashed a knee-buckling kill off a note-perfect set from Stuurmans, while Dakota Strong and Lexis Drake chipped in with quality support.

The final words needed to be written by Calkins, though, and she once again answered the call.

The rock-steady young woman who combines three-sport talent with classroom excellence started her prep career playing side-by-side with players older than herself.

Now, she’s the sage veteran, never too high, never too low, always there to pick up her teammates, to sign an autograph with only a slight roll of her eyes, to be consistent and reliable in the same way her coach was back in her own playing days.

Have a young son or daughter who wants to be an athlete, wants to be remembered one day as a Cow Town legend?

Tell them these words: “Be like Teagan.” Can’t go wrong that way.

 

Thursday stats:

Haylee Armstrong — 9 kills, 8 digs, 1 assist, 1 ace
Teagan Calkins — 13 kills, 9 digs
Ari Cunningham —2 kills, 1 dig
Lexis Drake — 2 digs, 1 ace
Adeline Maynes — 14 digs, 1 assist, 5 aces
Dakota Strong — 1 dig
Tenley Stuurmans — 2 kills, 3 digs, 25 assists, 1 ace
