One team took care of business.

Making the first road trip of the season Friday, the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball team led from start to finish, polishing off host Orcas Island 45-24 in the league opener for both teams.

The victory lifts the Wolves to 1-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League action, 2-3 overall, with a Tuesday home tilt against always-tough Mount Vernon Christian coming up quickly.

Squaring off with the Vikings, Coupeville claimed the advantage in every quarter.

Up 10-5 at the first break, with Josh Stockdale having poured in eight points fueled by a pair of three-balls, CHS got brutal on defense in the second quarter, holding Orcas to just two points.

That staked the Wolves to a 17-7 lead at the break, which soon blossomed into a 31-14 margin by the time the third quarter had come to a close.

Stockdale finished with 11 points, while running mate Carson Grove led all scorers with a season-high 17.

Toss in nine points from Jayden McManus, four from Liam Lawson, and a bucket apiece for Trent Thule and Nathan Coxsey, and the scoring came from all directions.

Khanor Jump, Brian Thompson, Ayden Warren, Christopher Zenz, and Jaden Flores Garcia also saw floor time for the triumphant Wolves.

They got tougher as the night went on.

The Coupeville High School JV girls’ basketball team played its strongest 16 minutes in the second half Friday on Orcas Island but couldn’t quite catch up to the Vikings.

Despite playing their hosts straight up after halftime, the Wolves ultimately fell 34-26 in a hotly contested conference clash.

With the loss, CHS slips to 0-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 1-3 overall, and heads back home to square off with Mount Vernon Christian Tuesday night.

Orcas jumped out to a 10-7 lead after one quarter of action Friday, then stretched the lead out to 23-15 heading into the halftime break.

The Wolf girls responded with an admirable show of grit, however, winning the fourth quarter 7-2 to keep the second half scoring knotted up at 11 points per team.

Ten Coupeville players hit the floor for coach Alita Blouin, with Ava Lucero knocking down 11 points to lead the scoring attack.

Cami Van Dyke (4), Anna Powers (4), Finley Helm (2), Willow Leedy-Bonifas (2), Emma Cushman (2), and Elizabeth Marshall (1) put their names in the scoring column, with Olivia Hall, Taylor Marrs, and Allie Powers also earning floor time.

Rough night for young guns

Back to the drawing board.

After three very competitive games to open the season, the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball squad hit a rut in the road Tuesday, falling 58-18 to visiting East Jefferson.

The non-conference loss, coming to a 1A program which combines students from two high schools — Port Townsend and Chimacum — drops the Wolves to 1-3, with a road trip to Orcas Island set for Friday.

With a young, resilient squad at their beck and call, CHS coaches can expect a strong bounce back.

Not much went right for the Wolves against East Jefferson, with the host team falling behind 13-2 after one quarter of play and 26-8 by the halftime break.

Things didn’t get much better from there, as the visiting Rivals then scorched the nets for 21 points in the third quarter alone.

Coupeville did spread out its offensive workload, with Nathan Coxsey leading the way with five points.

Carson Grove (3), Josh Stockdale (3), Jayden McManus (2), Trent Thule (2), Ayden Warren (2), and Liam Lawson (1) also scored, with Brian Thompson, Chris Zenz, and Jaden Flores Garcia seeing floor time for the Wolves.

They turned up the heat midway through the night.

Dominating the second and third quarters Tuesday, the Coupeville High School JV girls’ basketball team pulled away for a convincing 38-24 win over visiting East Jefferson to give coach Alita Blouin her first victory.

The non-conference triumph lifts the Wolves to 1-2 on the season heading into their first road trip of the season, which comes Friday with a trek to Orcas Island.

Tuesday’s tilt, against a 1A program which combines athletes from Chimacum and Port Townsend High School, was a close one for the first eight minutes.

Cami Van Dyke banked in a pair of buckets and Willow Leedy-Bonifas drained a three-ball in the opening frame, but the teams were locked up in a 7-7 tie at the first break.

After that, however, Blouin’s squad blew past the Rivals, outscoring them 10-3 in the second and 9-2 in the third to build a 26-12 advantage.

East Jefferson rallied a bit, scoring half of its points during a 12-12 tussle in the fourth, but the Wolves refused to break, coasting in for the win.

Coupeville got a huge chunk of its offense from the duo of Ava Lucero and Leedy-Bonifas, who went off for 15 and 11 points respectively.

Van Dyke chipped in with eight, while Anna Powers and Finley Helm each added a bucket to top off the scoring.

Olivia Hall, Emma Cushman, Zayne Roos, Elizabeth Marshall, and Taylor Marrs all saw floor time as well in the inaugural win.

Coxsey, Stockdale spark rising stars

The basket got stingy at just the wrong moment.

Up by six points on visiting Eastside Prep late in the fourth quarter Saturday, the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball squad suddenly ran out of buckets when it needed them most, letting the Eagles slip away with a 33-29 victory.

The non-conference loss drops the Wolves to 1-2 on the season, with another home bout, this one against East Jefferson, set for Tuesday night.

After a back-and-forth first half, Coupeville seemingly seized control of the game after the halftime break.

Trailing 14-10 heading into the third quarter, the Wolves opened with an 8-0 surge, thanks to four different players putting their names in the scorebook.

Nathan Coxsey drained a pair of free throws, Josh Stockdale went coast-to-coast for a layup, Chris Zenz put a rebound back up and in, and Carson Grove swooped past the defense for a sweet runner, and CHS was living large.

Eventually holding on to a 20-16 lead at the end of three, Coupeville continued to clamp down on defense, led by a fired-up Khanor Jump, who cleaned the boards with a fury.

Two more buckets from Stockdale and one from Coxsey staked the Wolves to a 26-20 advantage, and Eastside Prep was beginning to get desperate.

Unfortunately for the local fans, the off-Islanders suddenly found their groove, hitting a pair of three-balls, after missing approximately 11,407 prior long-range heaves, and closed the game on a 13-3 tear.

Down the stretch, CHS got free throws from Jump and Liam Lawson, but couldn’t get a field goal to drop across the game’s final four minutes and change.

The furious finish capped a game which started as a fairly low-scoring, defense-orientated affair.

Eastside Prep clung to a 5-4 lead after one quarter of action, with both of Coupeville’s buckets coming from Coxsey and set up by strong passes off the fingertips of Carson Grove.

Coxsey and Stockdale eventually pushed CHS ahead, but the visitors closed the half with a 7-2 mini-run to reclaim the lead and set up the second-half theatrics.

Ten Wolves saw floor time, with six of them scoring, led by Coxsey, who dropped in a season-high 12 points.

Stockdale (8), Grove (4), Jump (2), Zenz (2), and Lawson (1) also scored, with Brian Thompson, Trent Thule, Ayden Warren, and Jaden Flores Garcia rounding out the active roster.
