Bombs away.

Burying a season-high eight three-balls Tuesday, the Coupeville High School varsity girls’ basketball squad buried host Friday Harbor 48-20.

The win, which was sparked by a huge second half run from the Wolves, lifts Megan Richter’s team to 2-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 5-6 overall.

A pristine 2-0 in 2025, Coupeville gets to play at home for the first time in three weeks this Friday, when it welcomes La Conner to Whidbey for a conference clash.

If the Wolves come out shooting like they did Tuesday, it’ll be a long night for the Braves.

CHS had five different players net a shot from behind the arc Tuesday, with Katie Marti, Danica Strong, and Haylee Armstrong each hitting a pair of treys.

Lyla Stuurmans and Teagan Calkins also connected on three-balls, as the Wolves strafed their rivals while living out in Damian Lillard country.

Coupeville restaged this celebration multiple times while playing on Friday Harbor.

The game was actually a nailbiter for a bit, before Coupeville really got locked in on the offensive end of the floor.

Up 11-6 after one quarter, the Wolves carried just a 14-12 lead into the halftime locker room.

After that, it was all Coupeville, all the time, however.

CHS blew the game open with a 16-5 tear in the third, with Calkins and Strong each tallying eight of those points, before Armstrong went nuclear in the final frame.

The Wolf sophomore slapped home all 11 of her points in the fourth as Coupeville cruised to the finish line on an 18-3 run.

Coupeville got points from seven of 10 players, with Armstrong (11), Strong (10), Calkins (9), and Marti (9) providing the bulk of the offense.

Lyla Stuurmans chipped in with five, while Jada Heaton and Madison McMillan both banked in a bucket to round things out.

Capri Anter, Mia Farris, and Tenley Stuurmans also saw floor time for the Wolves in the resounding win.

Former Wolf sparkles on Florida hardwood

Savina Wells (right), seen here last spring, continues to shine brightly.

Savina Wells continues to be a baller.

The former Coupeville supernova is midway through her third, and final basketball season at Florida’s Fernandina Beach High School, where she leads the Pirates in scoring, rebounds, and blocked shots.

The six-foot-one senior, who was a Wolf from birth through her freshman year, played varsity basketball and softball during her short stint at CHS.

Following in the footsteps of older siblings Ulrik and Izzy, who both graduated from Coupeville schools, Savina tallied 133 points across two seasons of varsity basketball, playing as an 8th and 9th grader for the Wolves.

After a family move to the Sunshine State, the youngest of Lyle and Katy’s three children has participated in volleyball, basketball, and track and field at her current school.

Fernandina Beach is off to a 6-5 start this season on the hardwood, with Savina racking up 130 points, 118 rebounds, 23 blocks, 13 steals, and five assists.

She’s averaging 11.8 points and 10.7 boards a night for the Pirates, who kick off the second half of their season Tuesday with a road trip to Gainesville.

Savina has poured in 540 points across 46 games in a Fernandina uniform, giving her 673 for her high school career.

Wolf girls open 2025 with big win

First big test of 2025? The Wolves aced it.

Surviving a 400+ mile round trip on a school bus and a hail of three-balls, the Coupeville High School varsity girls’ basketball squad held off host Wahkiakum 41-39 Saturday afternoon.

The non-conference win against a foe it wasn’t familiar with snaps a four-game losing streak and lifts CHS to 4-6.

Now the Wolves head into the heart of league play, with their next eight games coming against Northwest 2B/1B League rivals.

First up is a trip to Friday Harbor next Tuesday, Jan. 7, followed by a home clash Friday with La Conner.

Megan Richter’s squad, which is 1-1 in league play, can look to its gut-check win Saturday for positive inspiration.

The Wolves came out on fire, with the epic bus trip down towards the bottom of the state not affecting their shooting touch.

Lyla Stuurmans splashed home an early three-ball, while Teagan Calkins and Katie Marti both rattled the rim for six points as CHS built an 18-5 lead by the first break.

Madison McMillan, in the middle of a scrum here, came up big in a road win at Wahkiakum.

With Madison McMillan stepping up to bank in six of her own points in the second frame, Coupeville went to the halftime locker room with a sizable 27-10 advantage.

And then almost gave it all back.

Wahkiakum, which hit nine three-balls on the afternoon, rained down five of those treys during a 22-6 surge, closing the gap back to 33-32 heading into the final quarter.

But Coupeville held strong, besting the Mules at the free throw line, where they netted 10 charity shots to just six by Wahkiakum, to claim the win.

Calkins, who scored in all four quarters, led the Wolves with a game-high 14 points.

That shoots the CHS junior into the top 100 all-time scorers in program history, which stretches back to 1974.

With 122 career points and counting, Calkins is now #97 on the list, where she joins seniors Marti (#41 with 271 points), Lyla Stuurmans (#55 – 218), Mia Farris (#65 – 188), and McMillan (#88 – 145).

Marti and McMillan both finished with eight points Saturday, with Lyla Stuurmans (5), Danica Strong (3), Farris (2), and Jada Heaton (1) also scoring.

Haylee Armstrong, Capri Anter, and Tenley Stuurmans rounded out the rotation, all seeing floor time in the 2025 opener.

Tough Toledo tips wily Wolves

Early tipoff times never scared them.

With the ref tossing the ball skyward at 8:59 AM Saturday morning at Central Washington University, it made for a quick turnaround for the Coupeville High School varsity girls’ basketball team.

Back on the court about 15 hours after their last game, the Wolves responded well, playing a tough Toledo squad even until the third quarter.

While the Riverhawks eventually pulled out a 36-29 win, the scrappy Wolves closed their Eastern Washington holiday road trip in style.

Now 3-6 on the season, Coupeville is off until Jan. 4, when it travels to Wahkiakum for another stern non-conference test.

Squaring off with a Toledo squad which claimed its fourth straight win to get to 6-3, the Wolves kept things close.

Senior gunner Katie Marti outscored the Riverhawks by herself in a defensive-minded first quarter, staking CHS to a 5-4 lead.

Toledo evened things up at 13-13 heading into the halftime break, before using an 11-6 run in the third quarter to slightly pull away.

Ryah Stanley was the difference down the stretch, as the Riverhawk junior tallied nine of her game-high 19 points in the fourth quarter.

Toledo clanked many a free throw, netting just 5-15 at the line to open the door a bit, but the refs were little help, as Coupeville barely got to the charity stripe, finishing just 1-4 once there.

Madison McMillan (left) and Lyla Stuurmans get ready to rumble.

Marti paced the Wolves with nine points, moving from #44 to #41 on the CHS girls’ career scoring chart.

She sits with 263 points heading into 2025 and passed all-timers Madeline Strasburg (261), Carly Guillory (260), and Sarah Mouw (259) Saturday morning.

Madison McMillan and Haylee Armstrong both banked in six to back Marti, with Teagan Calkins (4), Mia Farris (2), and Jada Heaton (2) also keeping the scorekeeper busy.

Lyla Stuurmans, Danica Strong, Tenley Stuurmans, and Capri Anter rounded out Megan Richter’s roster on the holiday weekend road trip to Ellensburg.
