Houston, we have another win

Davin Houston

Davin Houston is heating up.

The free-wheeling Coupeville High School sophomore, a fan favorite who always stops to scrimmage after games with elementary school hoops stars, went off for a second straight game Friday night.

By the time Daniel and Alia’s youngest was done, Houston had torched visiting Orcas Island for a season-high 20 points, sparking the Wolf JV boys’ basketball team to a come-from-behind 53-41 win.

The victory, coming in the Northwest 2B/1B League opener, lifts CHS to 2-2 on the season.

And the Wolves will try and keep the good times flowing when they turn right back around Saturday afternoon and host non-conference foe Morton-White Pass.

They’ll take the court led by Houston, who has rattled the rims for 37 points across the last two games, and Mahkai Myles, who singed the nets for a season-best 12 points Friday in support of his running mate.

Orcas came out strongly, jumping ahead 16-9 after one quarter of play, but the Wolves had an immediate response.

With Houston and Myles combining for 14 points in the second frame, CHS went on an 18-4 tear to claim the lead for good.

From there, the Wolves led 35-32 through three, then closed with a vengeance, bombing the Vikings 18-9 in the final period.

Easton Green (6), Malachi Somes (5), Liam Blas (4), Sage Arends (2), Carson Grove (2), and Riley Lawless (2) scored in support of Coupeville’s big two, while Kyle McCrimmon and Nathan Coxsey also saw floor time for coaches Craig Anderson and Jon Roberts.

Young Wolves rumble with Spartans

“We ARE getting better with each game!”

While the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball team fell to 1-2 on the season with a narrow 45-38 loss Monday at Forks, Wolf coach Jon Roberts came away pleased with a lot.

At least until he had to get back on the bus and endure a knee-wrecking journey back to Whidbey from the hinterlands.

“Overall, we feel like the loss and score didn’t match the intensity most players played at, or the fact that we outscored Forks in the second, third, and fourth quarters,” Roberts said.

It was the first frame that was the sticking point, as Coupeville started cold and fell behind 16-2 after eight minutes of play.

From that moment on, it was advantage Wolves, with the visitors outscoring their hosts 36-29 the rest of the way.

A 13-6 run in the third, fueled by Davin Houston and Carson Grove, almost got CHS all the way back, but the feisty Spartans held on at the end for the win.

Houston “had a breakout night both scoring and playing some lights out defense,” while leading the Wolves with a season-high 17-point performance.

Grove (8), Sage Arends (5), Nathan Coxsey (4), Easton Green (2), and Riley Lawless (2) also scored for CHS, with Malachi Somes, Liam Blas, and Khanor Jump seeing floor time.

The Wolves return to action this weekend, hosting Orcas Island Friday and Morton-White Pass Saturday.

Some for you, some for you, and some for you.

Three different Wolves tallied six points apiece Friday as the Coupeville High School football team mashed visiting Friday Harbor 18-5 to get to 4-1 on the season.

Davin Houston and Jack Porter snagged touchdowns receptions off of passes from Chase Anderson, while the latter tacked on his first two field goals of the campaign.

Despite missing the team’s only loss in week #3, Anderson, Coupeville’s quarterback and kicker, is well out in front in the scoring race.

But he’s not the only one helping keep the scoreboard operator hoppin’, as the Wolves are a single point shy of averaging 30 a night.

Touchdowns:

Chase Anderson – 8
Davin Houston – 4
Jack Porter – 3
Marquette Cunningham – 2
Johnny Porter – 2
Liam Blas – 1

Big-play Bayhawks bash Wolves

A lot has changed in a year.

Jump back to fall 2022 and 2B Coupeville pounded the crud out of 2A Bellingham to the tune of 48-6, part of a 7-2 season for the Wolves.

Now, return to 2023 and the tide has turned, as the Bayhawks answered back Friday on their home field, shredding CHS for seven touchdowns — all on plays of 30+ yards — en route to a 50-7 victory.

The non-conference loss drops the Wolves, who were missing five starters, to 1-5 on the season heading into a Homecoming showdown with Forks, which is 4-1 with a Saturday clash with Friday Harbor on their schedule.

Coupeville had the game’s first highlight play Friday, with Marcelo Gebhard recovering a Bellingham fumble.

After that, positive plays were few and far between for the Wolves.

The Bayhawks defense stiffened and got the ball back, then quarterback Josh Leonard went to work.

A 6-foot-3 senior who transferred from Squalicum to join his dad Adam, the head coach at Bellingham, he tossed four touchdown passes in the first quarter, breaking off 49, 40, 58, and 42-yard scoring bombs.

Toss in a 38-yard scoring run by Christian Olberg and the home team was up 36-0 at the first break.

Bellingham added a pair of rushing touchdowns, covering 30 and 37 yards, to coast into halftime with a 50-0 lead and a running clock on the horizon.

In the midst of all that scoring, Coupeville did force another turnover, with freshman Davin Houston snaring a fumble to join Gebhard in the ball retrieval business.

With the clock rolling relentlessly, neither team scored in the third quarter, then Coupeville finally cracked the end zone on its own long-distance play.

Senior QB Logan Downes connected on a 49-yard scoring strike with sophomore Chase Anderson midway through the fourth quarter, with Anderson tacking on the PAT.

It was the fourth touchdown of the season for the young gun, pulling him closer to fellow sophomore Aiden O’Neill, who leads the Wolves with five scores.

For Downes, the pass was historical.

His 13th touchdown bomb of the season, it gives him 33 for his career, tying him with current CHS boys’ basketball coach Brad Sherman for #2 all-time in program history.

Logan Downes needs two TD passes to tie older brother Hunter for the top spot, and three to stand alone on top of gunslinger hill.
