The players come and go, but the numbers hunt is eternal.

Coupeville High School boys’ basketball has played 108 varsity seasons, having capped the most-recent campaign with a narrow playoff loss to Auburn Adventist Academy Thursday night.

Now, the seniors depart, with their point totals frozen in time, while those with eligibility left can begin to plan for next season.

Junior Chase Anderson heads into the offseason sitting at #36 on the all-time scoring chart, having reached 599 points after three seasons on the hardwood.

Will he make a run for the top 10 as a senior? Only time will tell.

For now, here’s where things sit through today, with active players listed in bold.

With the usual caveat — with some of the oldest scorebooks lost to time, we will likely never have a truly complete tally.

But what’s missing — with the exception of Tom Sahli’s sophomore season in 1951-1952 — is from the days of low-scoring games and would not greatly change the upper part of the chart.

So, there’s that.

The gap is narrowing.

The first time the Coupeville High School varsity boys’ basketball team clashed with La Conner this season, the Wolves lost by 14.

Friday night, in the rematch, Brad Sherman’s squad made a torrid fourth quarter run that fell just short in a 55-52 road loss.

With a possible third matchup between the schools lurking in the playoffs, that growth is a huge positive for Coupeville.

Now 5-4 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 6-12 overall, the Wolves close the regular season next Friday, Feb. 7, when they host Friday Harbor on Senior Night.

The double-elimination District 1/2 tourney, with two tickets to state up for grabs, runs Feb. 13-22.

Friday night’s fracas in La Conner followed a clear pattern – the host team dominated in odd quarters, while the visitors controlled the even frames.

Trailing 19-8 at the first break, Coupeville had to dig down deep in the second quarter and did so, zipping off on a 19-10 tear.

Chase Anderson threw down 10 points by himself in the second, with the Wolves pulling back to within 29-27 by the half.

But then La Conner got going again, stretching the margin back out to double digits at 47-37 heading into the final frame.

CHS spread the offensive love around over the last eight minutes, with five different players scoring during a 15-8 rally which fell just short.

Ultimately, the three-point difference came at the free throw line, as La Conner netted seven of 14 shots, while Coupeville continued its season-long struggles at the charity stripe, hitting just 4-9.

Hurlee Bronec and Anderson both went for 16 points to top the Wolves stat sheet, while Jack Porter banged away for 12 to give CHS three players in double-digits.

La Conner gunner Brayden Pedroza led all scorers with 23.

Anderson, who sank all four of Coupeville’s three-balls, raised his career scoring total to 550 points.

The junior guard passed Marc Bissett (549) Friday and sits in a tie with Jim Syreen for #42 on the all-time list, which covers 1917-2025.

Hunter Bronec (4), Landon Roberts (2), and Camden Glover (2) also scored for the Wolves, with Malachi Somes and Johnny Porter rounding out the rotation.

You know when it’s below freezing outside, and you leave the faucet to where it will drip all night long?

Watching Mount Vernon Christian slowly, surely pull away to beat the Coupeville High School varsity boys’ basketball team Tuesday night was kind of like that.

The visitors didn’t do anything all that spectacular — their best dunk attempt would have generated a stifled yawn on a court in Seattle — but they were consistent in every facet of the game.

Drip, drip, drip, and, in the end, that equaled a 61-47 win over the Wolves.

The loss drops Coupeville to 5-3 in Northwest 2B/1B League play with two games left and leaves it sitting behind MVC (7-0) and La Conner (7-1), which hosts the Wolves this Friday.

Now 6-11 overall after having a three-game winning streak snapped, Brad Sherman’s squad played its best ball Tuesday in the opening quarter.

With Hurlee Bronec and Camden Glover banging away down low and holding their own with a lanky group of Hurricane post players, the Wolves trailed 21-18 at the first break.

Along the way they claimed the lead four different times, with Landon Roberts drilling the bottom out of the bucket on a three-ball to earn the biggest roar from the crowd.

Hurlee Bronec almost matched the ovation, however, when he snagged a pass from Chase Anderson and whirled through a pack of Hurricanes to slap home a layup a half of a tick before the first quarter buzzer sang its song.

But while the Wolves held the lead at various points in the first frame, they couldn’t get even after that.

MVC stretched the margin out to 13 midways through the second, before CHS closed on a 5-1 min-tear.

Malachi Somes kicked off the surge by taking a charge on defense, with Glover punctuating things by snagging a rebound and converting it into a second-chance bucket.

Down 35-26 at the half, Coupeville got as close as six points in the third quarter and did it twice.

Hurlee Bronec drained a three-ball from the top the first time, while Anderson made a phenomenal save on a runaway ball, before flipping it over his head to Roberts for a breakaway bucket the second time.

Showcasing ice water in their veins to match the less-than-toasty temps outside the gym, the Hurricanes closed the quarter on a 9-2 tear, however, and the Wolves never got the deficit back to single-digits.

Hurlee Bronec, continuing his recent rise as a go-to scorer, rattled the rims for a team-high 14 points, and gained entrance to the 200-point club.

The Wolf senior has 213 career varsity points and counting as his final season begins to wind down.

Roberts (9), Glover (8), Anderson (8), Jack Porter (6), and Hunter Bronec (2) also tallied points, with Johnny Porter and Somes contributing on defense.

This is something new, in a good way.

Outscoring visiting Concrete in every quarter Tuesday, the Coupeville High School varsity boys’ basketball team rolled to a 60-39 victory, capturing back-to-back W’s for the first time in the 2024-2025 season.

With the win, which comes on the heels of a recent triumph against Darrington, the Wolves get to 4-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 5-10 overall.

Sitting in third place in the seven-team conference, trailing Mount Vernon Christian (5-0) and La Conner (5-1), Brad Sherman’s squad will aim for a third-straight win when it travels Friday to Orcas Island.

If CHS can boast the same kind of balanced scoring it found Tuesday, odds will be in its favor.

The Wolves got 51 of their 60 points from the trio of Chase Anderson, Jack Porter, and Hurlee Bronec, which each taking over the game at times.

The latter two from that threesome both dropped in six points in the opening quarter, spurring Coupeville to a quick 19-8 lead after eight minutes of play.

Jack Porter rolls in for a bucket.

Jack Porter closed the frame with back-to-back buckets, one on a bank shot, the other off of a steal and breakaway, and things were crackling.

But then both teams hit a dry spell, as points were hard to come by in the second quarter.

Concrete held Coupeville scoreless for a solid four minutes, cutting the deficit back to 21-13, but the Wolves had an answer.

Anderson made off with consecutive steals, turning both into buckets, before Hurlee Bronec danced his way through the paint for a reverse layup a second before the halftime buzzer.

Holding a 27-13 advantage at the break, the Wolves continued to push, and the Lions crumbled a bit.

The Porter brothers teamed up for a highlight reel-worthy bucket, with Johnny’s pass setting up Jack’s jumper, before Landon Roberts zipped his own John Stockton-style assist to Jack Porter for the game-buster.

A three-ball from the right side of the floor, it staked CHS to a 20-point lead and effectively ended any comeback hopes for the visitors.

As the game’s final minutes played out, Coupeville stayed riled up on defense, however.

Davin Houston rejected a Concrete shot, while Camden Glover used and abused the Lions on a play where he snatched an offensive board, before promptly powering back up for the putback.

As noted before, Coupeville balanced the books, with Anderson (20), Jack Porter (19), and Hurlee Bronec (12) all notching double digit scoring.

Glover (4), Roberts (3), and Johnny Porter (2) also knocked down buckets, with Carson Field, Zander Pulliam, Houston, Hunter Bronec, and Easton Green seeing floor time.

It was Pulliam’s varsity debut.

Coupeville’s seniors are pushing for the best possible playoff seeding.

While the win, and the team-wide effort, was the true highlight, stats hounds will also note that two Wolves set personal milestones.

Jack Porter (115) cracked the 100-point club, while Anderson joined the 500-point club.

The Wolf junior, who sits with 517 career points and counting, also passed Jason Bagby (499) and David Lortz (502) Tuesday to become the #50 scorer in the 108-year history of CHS varsity boys’ basketball.

 

No JV rumble:

Concrete doesn’t have a second boys’ squad this season, so the Wolves were limited to one game.

Balance beat brilliance.

Darrington’s Hunter Anderson went off for a game-high 30 Friday on his home floor, but the Coupeville High School varsity boys’ basketball team had the answer.

Getting points from all nine players to hit the court, the Wolves held the Loggers at bay, heading back to the bus with a 63-51 victory.

The road win lifts Brad Sherman’s squad to 3-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 4-10 overall.

It also keeps them solidly in possession of third place in the seven-team conference at the midway point of the 10-game league schedule.

Heading into a week where it will host Concrete Tuesday, then travel to Orcas Island Friday, Coupeville sits a game back of La Conner (4-1) and two off of front-runner Mount Vernon Christian (5-0).

Camden Glover, netting a free throw here, was one of nine Wolves to score Friday.

Balance was the name of the game Friday, as CHS jumped out to an 18-7 lead after one quarter, with five different players rattling the rim for points.

From there the Wolves steadily built up their lead, pushing the advantage to 37-23 at halftime, then 52-35 through three frames.

Chase Anderson led Coupeville with a team-best 16 points, pushing himself to the cusp of a personal milestone.

The Wolf junior heads home with 497 points stashed in the career bank, just a three-ball away from becoming the 51st CHS boy to crack the 500-point club for a program which started play back in 1917.

The Battlin’ Bronec Brothers provided key support against Darrington, with Hurlee banking in 13 and Hunter knocking down 10, while Jack Porter netted eight points.

Landon Roberts (5), Johnny Porter (4), Camden Glover (4), Malachi Somes (2), and Davin Houston (1) also scored for Coupeville in the road win.
