The Coupeville Middle School boys’ basketball teams ventured into bat country Thursday and returned from Forks (Twilight … bats, you get it) with three losses in three games.

The JV squad, which was a joint venture between the 7th and 8th grade squads, had the best result, pushing their hosts to overtime before falling 33-29.

That game featured a breakout performance by Omar Moralez, who threw down eight of his team-high 12 during a fourth-quarter rally.

Dawson Houston tallied seven in support, Aram Leyva banked home five, Aiden Juras and Gavin Knoblich popped for two apiece and Johnathan Partida swished a free-throw to round out Coupeville’s scoring.

Tucker Hall, Jaylen Nitta, Michael Laska, Gage Powers, Ben Smith and Alex Jimenez also saw floor time in that game.

Coupeville’s varsity squads had a little more trouble scoring, racking up a combined 34 points across two losses in which final scores were buried on the side of the road before boarding the bus home.

The 7th grade Wolves were held to a season-low 14, with Jake Mitten leading the way with eight.

Matthew Kelley added five, including a three-ball, while Daniel Olson netted a free throw.

Sage Downes, Dakota Eck and Smith also saw action for the younger varsity squad.

Coupeville’s 8th grade varsity did a little better, tallying 20 points.

Sean Toomey-Stout was top dog with nine, while Koa Davison added six. Mason Grove netted three, all on free-throws, and Jered Brown dropped in a bucket.

Jacobi Pacquette-Pilgrim, Jean Lund-Olsen, Andrew Martin and Ulrik Wells ventured onto the court in Forks as well.

The Wolves have an immediate turn-around, venturing back on the road Friday to play Blue Heron Middle School in Port Townsend.

That’s a makeup for an earlier set of games that was denied by bad weather and timid ferry captains.

Coupeville has its final home games of the season Monday, Jan. 11 against Stevens (2:45 tip).

Sean Toomey-Stout dropped 10 of his game-high 14 in the second half, as the Wolf 8th graders rallied for a win.

They just needed more people in the stands.

Playing in the big gym for the first time this season, the Coupeville Middle School 8th grade boys’ basketball team got off to a slow start Monday afternoon.

But once they emerged from the halftime locker room and found the number of fans in the high school gym had increased, they picked up their game noticeably.

Sparked by Sean Toomey-Stout and Mason Grove, the Wolves used a 13-5 third-quarter advantage to snatch the lead away from visiting Forks and never looked back, eventually pulling out a narrow 32-30 win.

The victory lifted CMS to 2-0 on the season.

Coupeville started slowly, going five minutes into the game without scoring.

Even with a little better flow, and a couple of buckets from big men Ulrik Wells and Koa Davison, the Wolves still trailed 15-9 at the break.

But the second half was a different story.

Jacobi Pacquette-Pilgrim got things started with a smooth jumper under pressure from the right side, then Grove splashed home a three-ball off of a fast break.

Forks didn’t immediately fold, hitting their own trey and twice stretching the lead back out to four.

The Wolves wouldn’t be denied, though, closing out the quarter with an 8-2 run, netting their first lead of the game at 22-20 on a sweet bucket from Jered Brown in which he slashed through the paint, avoiding three defenders on his journey.

Brown’s basket was set up by a game-tying bucket and free throw from Toomey-Stout, who paced the Wolves with a game-high 14.

Forks tied the game up three times in the final quarter, but CMS had an answer each time, never relinquishing the lead.

Toomey-Stout put the team on his shoulders, scoring five of Coupeville’s final six points.

That included a free throw to ice the game with three seconds to play, garnering a shout of approval from twin sister Maya.

Seven of the eight Wolves who played scored, with Grove (6), Pacquette-Pilgrim (5), Wells (2), Brown (2), Davison (2) and Omar Moralez (1) providing support for Toomey-Stout.

Jean Lund-Olsen didn’t score, but provided hustle and quick hands on defense.

Randy King with the upset!

The longtime Coupeville High School/Middle School coach picked up a new sport at the last second this year, taking over the CMS 8th grade volleyball squad a match into the season when coach Sadi Foltz abruptly left to take a new job.

Jump forward to Monday night, and, after a long road trip to the town former CHS football coach Ron Bagby (well … and “Twilight“) built, King and his spikers emerged with a stunning upset.

The Wolves knocked off undefeated Forks 29-27, 25-20 for the win of the season.

The score is all the info we have at the moment (and nothing on the 7th grade squad), so let’s toss out a bunch of photos to fill the rest of your time.

Stick a fork in Forks! They’re done!!

Maybe the Everett Herald was right when they once spelled Joel Walstad’s last name Walstud.

The Coupeville High School senior threw down a scoreless first half as a goalie Saturday, then moved up front and scored a goal of his own as the Wolf boys’ soccer squad thrashed visiting Forks 4-0.

The non-conference win improved CHS to 1-4 on the season.

A day after signing a college football scholarship, Walstad returned to the pitch and controlled the game on both ends.

The few times Forks made a significant run at the net, he shut them down.

Then, after being relieved by Connor McCormick in goal, he punched in a loose ball after a scramble in front of the net.

The original shot, mishandled by the Spartan goalie, came off of the foot of Abraham Leyva, who was trying for a hat trick.

The Wolf junior opened the game with a run down the right side for a goal, then tacked on a second score early in the second half when he curled a shot from the left side.

That gives him a team-high four goals on the season.

Coupeville’s other score came from Garrett Compton, who, much like Walstad, caught a rebound on his toe and banked the ball back in past a frustrated, vocal Forks goaltender.

The Wolves controlled play from start to finish, with a defense led by Aaron Wright and Oscar Liquidano being largely impenetrable.

Along with the four scores, Coupeville had numerous other shots on goals, as Leyva, Compton and Ryan Freeman attacked at will.

The only bad moment for CHS came early, when high-scoring weapon Zane Bundy tumbled over the prone goalie while trying to convert on a breakaway.

He exited the game and limped on and off the field with two teammates helping him at all times.
