The freight train rolls on, smashing everything in its way.

With nine different players scoring Friday night, the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball squad crunched visiting Friday Harbor, collecting its sixth-straight win.

Nabbing a 76-36 victory, the red hot ‘n rolling Wolves get to 6-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 13-2 overall.

All that stands between Coupeville and a mythical JV league title is a win next Tuesday, Feb. 6 at La Conner in the season finale.

Seeing how they beat those Braves 61-22 the first time around, odds are in the favor of the Wolves.

Jack Porter heads to the bench, giving the other team a brief break from trying, and failing, to stop him from scoring.

The rematch with Friday Harbor, a team it beat by 14 earlier this season, was much more of a blowout.

Riding a torrid first quarter performance from big man Camden Glover, who poured in 13 of his 19 points in the opening eight minutes, CHS charged out to a 27-7 lead at the break.

While Friday Harbor played its best ball in the second frame, outscoring the Wolves 14-13, the second half was right back to the Wolves dominating on their home floor.

Jack Porter and Aiden O’Neill each knocked down seven points in the third to spur a 24-11 run, before Coupeville coasted in with a 12-4 performance in the final quarter.

Glover and Jack Porter shared team scoring honors, each draining 19 points, while Malachi Somes and O’Neill backed them up with seven apiece.

Landon Roberts (6), Johnny Porter (6), Davin Houston (5), Riley Lawless (4), and Sage Arends (3) also scored, with Jayden McManus contributing on defense.

Sweet, sweet payback.

Avenging a narrow early-season loss, the Coupeville High School JV girls’ basketball squad caught fire Friday night, thrashing visiting Friday Harbor.

The first time the teams met, back in mid-December, the Wolverines came out on top 36-32.

This time around, it was all Wolves, all night long, as Kassie O’Neil’s pack rolled to a convincing 52-27 win.

The victory lifts CHS to 2-3 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 5-6 overall, with two games left on the schedule.

Friday night Coupeville blew out to a 16-8 lead at the first break, and never relented.

A 14-2 run in the second frame pushed the margin out to 30-10 at halftime, before the Wolves stretched the advantage to 46-21 through three quarters.

Coupeville spread its offense out, with Tenley Stuurmans leading the way with a game-high 18 points.

The Wolf 8th grader, along with several of her teammates, is pulling double duty right now.

They’re wrapping up their debut high school season while also practicing for the start of middle school hoops, which opens play Feb. 8 at home against South Whidbey.

Bryley Gilbert, who slapped home most of her points in the first half Friday, finished with 14 to back up Stuurmans, while Adie Maynes and Haylee Armstrong rippled the net for eight apiece.

Capri Anter and Ava Lucero banked in a bucket each to round out the scoring, while Taylor Marrs, Chelsi Stevens, Lexis Drake, and Ari Cunningham also saw floor time for the Wolves.

More beasts than men

Slow them down? Nope. Beat them? Unlikely.

The rampaging Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball squad destroyed another foe Saturday, scoring a season high as it crushed host Chief Leschi 78-32.

The non-conference victory in Puyallup lifts the Wolves to 12-2 with two tilts left on the schedule.

Up first is the home finale against Friday Harbor Feb. 2, then a last road trip Feb. 6 to La Conner.

Those are rematches against rivals the Wolves beat by 14 and 39, respectively, the first time around.

Coupeville’s JV is an equal opportunity juggernaut, with a 7-1 road record and a 5-1 mark at home.

Repping a 2B school, the Wolves only blemishes have been a four-point defeat to 1A Mount Baker and a last-second one-point loss to 3A Oak Harbor.

Chief Leschi, like most of Coupeville’s opponents this season, was overmatched from the first tip to the final buzzer.

The Wolves blew out to a 24-3 lead by the first break, with Aiden O’Neill, Landon Roberts, Jack Porter, and Camden Glover combining to rain down pain on the Warriors.

The hosts actually put up a decent fight in the second quarter, outscoring Coupeville 13-9 to slightly trim the halftime deficit down to 33-16.

That was the cue for Jack Porter and Glover to go right back to work, the duo dominating in the paint as CHS doubled its output with a 33-point explosion in the third frame.

Comfortably up 66-26, with a running clock hurrying things along, the Wolves closed out the night and headed back to the bus, whistling as they went.

Jack Porter finished with a game-high 23, while Glover threw down 20 and Riley Lawless chipped in with six.

O’Neill, Davin Houston, Johnny Porter, Roberts, Malachi Somes, and Jayden McManus banked in four points apiece, while Easton Green (3) and Sage Arends (2) also kept the bookkeeper busy.

Makai Myles rounded out the active roster, providing a defensive buzz to the offensive-heavy brew concocted by the Wolves.

Mama said knock you out, so Haylee Armstrong went and threw some haymakers.

Raining down 20 of her career-high 30 points in the second half Tuesday, the Coupeville High School freshman turned a JV game against visiting Concrete from a nailbiter to a blowout.

The Wolves went into the locker room up by just a single point, only to come away with a 47-26 victory thanks to their hot-shooting guard.

The win lifts Kassie O’Neil’s squad to 1-3 in Northwest 2B/1B League action, 4-6 overall, with a road trip to Chief Leschi Saturday next up on the schedule.

Tuesday’s rumble with Concrete was a sticky one for the first 16 minutes, as the two teams exchanged body blows, warily circling one another.

Armstrong popped for 10 in the first half, propelling the Wolves to an 8-4 lead after one and a narrow 16-15 advantage as everyone heading in for pep talks and (maybe) orange slices.

Whether she got to nibble on citrus or not, the fab frosh came out flexin’ in the second half.

Raining down 11 points in the third quarter alone, Armstrong spurred an 18-8 run to bust the game wide open.

She had some help, with Tenley Stuurmans and Capri Anter combining for seven points in the frame, and the Wolves kept the heat cranked up in the fourth quarter.

Closing on a 13-3 tear, CHS slammed the door shut, locked it, and threw the key away.

While Armstrong’s 30 was the best performance by any Wolf girl this season, varsity or JV, she wasn’t the only young gun to score.

Anter backed up her cousin with a solid seven-point effort, while Stuurmans (6), Brynn Parker (2), and Ari Cunningham (2) also kept the scorekeeper busy.

Ava Lucero, Lexis Drake, Bryley Gilbert, Adie Maynes, Taylor Marrs, and Chelsi Stevens rounded out the rotation for the Wolves, who have four games left in their season.

Ava Lucero dares a foe to try and get past her.

Too strong, too fast, too good

Pick your (Porter) poison.

Powered by 28 points from the twin titans, Jack and Johnny, plus another 21 from their brother from another mother, Camden Glover, the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball team scorched another foe Friday night.

The deer in the headlights this time was visiting Mount Vernon Christian, which fell, and fell hard, to the rampaging Wolves.

Starting hot, and closing hotter, Coupeville ran away with a 65-47 win, stretching their record to 5-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 10-2 overall.

The only thing which can slow down the Wolf JV is the schedule maker, as neither of Coupeville’s next two varsity opponents bring a second squad to Cow Town with them.

That means the JV is off until South Whidbey arrives at the CHS gym Jan. 24.

While they wait for someone, anyone, to try and stand up to them, the Wolf young guns can bask in another stellar performance.

CHS jumped out to a 17-12 lead after one quarter of play, with Glover thumping down low for seven points, and both Porter boys banking in four.

From there, the Wolves kept the lead intact, heading into the locker room up 29-24, then holding on to a 43-40 advantage entering the fourth quarter.

With Glover back on the floor and pouring in points after battling foul trouble in the mid section of the game, Coupeville closed on a 22-7 tear.

Hitting from all angles, with Glover, Jack Porter, and Malachi Somes knocking down three-balls from deep, the Wolves spread out the offensive love.

Glover led the way with 21, while Johnny Porter tickled the twines for 16 while playing strongly at both ends of the floor.

“Johnny had his best game this year,” said CHS coach Jon Roberts. “Consistently there in the post and cleaning up garbage.

“I wish I knew his assist numbers. He fed Cam all night.”

Jack Porter gave Coupeville a third player in double digits, kissing the glass for 12 points, while Somes (6), Riley Lawless (4), Landon Roberts (3), Aiden O’Neill (2), and Davin Houston (1) joined the offensive attack.

Easton Green and Makai Myles also saw floor time for the Wolves.
