Undefeated in the new year.

Kicking off 2022 with a vengeance, the Coupeville High School JV boys basketball team throttled visiting La Conner 40-14 Tuesday night.

The victory, coming after a three-week holiday layoff, lifts the Wolves to 1-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 1-3 overall.

It was a solid team effort across the board, with 12 players seeing action, and half of those dropping in points as Coupeville ran away from the Braves.

Up just 7-3 at the end of the first quarter, the Wolves used a 12-4 run in the second frame to push the advantage out where La Conner wouldn’t be able to touch it.

Then, just to make sure, CHS clamped down big time in the third quarter, with Nick Guay tossing in six points during a game-busting 16-1 tear.

Ryan Blouin and Hunter Bronec paced the Wolves, with both parts of the duo knocking down 11 points.

Mikey Robinett and Guay backed them up with six apiece, while Quinten Simpson-Pilgrim banked in four, and Zane Oldenstadt rounded out the offensive attack with a bucket.

Coupeville also got strong play from Landon Roberts, Hurlee Bronec, Jack Porter, William Davidson, Carson Field, and Johnny Porter, with every Wolf bringing the heat to help nab the W.

Late drought dooms JV boys

The ending did not go according to script.

Playing without its top scorer, who went down early with a rolled ankle, the Coupeville High School JV boys basketball squad was still on target for a big win Saturday afternoon.

Then the floor fell out from beneath the Wolves, as host Orcas Island used a 19-4 run in the fourth quarter to claim a come-from-behind 37-31 win.

The loss drops Coupeville to 0-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 0-3 overall.

Things took a sour turn for the Wolves early, when sharpshooting guard Ryan Blouin went down with the aforementioned injury.

But that didn’t seem to ruffle CHS too badly, with Hunter Bronec and Mikey Robinett coming up big as the visitors built a 20-8 lead at the half.

Coupeville had an 8-4 advantage after one period, then slapped home another 12 points in the second frame, with four different Wolves making the nets bounce.

While Orcas trimmed the lead, slightly, to 27-18 through three quarters, things still seemed on the right track for CHS.

Until the Viking three-balls started dropping from all angles.

Raining down three treys in the final frame, Orcas got 16 of its final 19 points from the duo of Eddie Cunningham and Andrew Garcia.

On the day, those two Vikings, who banked in 11 and 13 points, respectively, teamed with Forest Frausto (10) to account for 34 of their team’s 37 points.

Hunter Bronec paced Coupeville with a team-best eight points, while Quinten Simpson-Pilgrim added his first six of the season.

Robinett (4), Nick Guay (4), William Davidson (3), Landon Roberts (2), Zane Oldenstadt (2) and Blouin (2) also scored, while Jack Porter, Hurlee Bronec, and Johnny Porter all saw floor time.

Coupeville’s next opponent, Concrete, doesn’t have a JV team, so the young Wolves are off until a trip to Mount Vernon Christian Friday, Dec. 17.

Quinten Simpson-Pilgrim has played strongly on both ends of the floor for the Wolves.

Two games, many lessons

Lessons learned, then turned into results.

Bouncing back after a tough loss early Saturday, Coupeville’s SWISH boys basketball squad rebounded to drill a big-city foe in its nightcap.

With the doubleheader split, the Wolves sit at 6-2 heading into the final week of the regular season.

How the day played out for the hardwood heroes:

 

Game 1:

Facing a Burlington-Edison team which had height and speed, Coupeville struggled on the boards and fell 25-16.

The second half was virtually even, but a 17-9 halftime deficit proved to be too much to overcome.

“We killed ourselves by missing easy layups and giving them offensive rebounds times three each time they came down the floor,” Coupeville coach Jon Roberts said.

“It was too late when our front court defense finally started playing.”

Chase Anderson and Hunter Bronec paced the Wolves with six points apiece, with Jack Porter tossing in three and Hurlee Bronec adding a free throw while “playing with a badly sprained ankle, with grit!”

 

Game 2:

Ramping up their defensive effort from the start, the Wolves ran away from the Lake Stevens Hoopsters, knocking them off 31-15.

“Shaking off a tough loss and getting our heads back in the defensive game, we got rolling in the first half, using a high-low post set and many excellent screen and rolls,” Jon Roberts said.

“I don’t keep track of assists – but there would have been too many to track!”

Coupeville made off with more than its fair share of steals, keying fast breaks, then took the ball hard to the hoop.

“Incredibly proud of the bounce-back against a small, fast, scrappy team,” Jon Roberts said.

Hunter Bronec topped the scoring chart in the finale, banking in nine points, with Anderson and Jack Porter each rippling the nets for seven.

Aiden O’Neill and Johnny Porter rounded out the offense, knocking down four points apiece, while Landon Roberts brought defensive heat, while setting up Coupeville’s big men with pinpoint passes.
