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.

One rough quarter killed their buzz.

Outscored 20-6 in the second quarter Tuesday, the Coupeville High School JV girls basketball team fell 48-41 to visiting La Conner.

The loss, coming in the team’s first game in 18 days, drops the young and scrappy Wolves to 1-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 1-4 overall.

Coming off of an extended holiday break, Coupeville opened strongly against the Braves.

Freshman Madison McMillan knocked down six quick points in the opening quarter, and with three teammates each chipping in for a bucket apiece, the Wolves were up 12-7 at the first break.

Unfortunately, the Braves had an answer for Coupeville’s early dominance, and it came courtesy of the wham-bam combo of Kennedy Miller and Maeve McCormick.

The La Conner duo combined to score 17 points in the second frame, pushing their team out to a 27-18 lead at the half.

Coupeville came out on top in both the third and fourth quarters, to the tune of 11-10 and 12-11, winning three of four frames, but the Wolves couldn’t get all the way back.

While Miller (19) and McCormick (18) teamed up to score the majority of La Conner’s points, CHS spread its offense out among multiple players.

McMillan and Brooklyn Thayer both rattled the rim for a team-high 10 points, with Thayer singing the nets in all four quarters, while Gwen Gustafson banked in nine.

Lyla Stuurmans (4), Reese Wilkinson (4), and Kayla Arnold (4) also scored for the Wolves, with Bryley Gilbert, Jada Heaton, Skylar Parker, Desi Ramirez-Vasquez, and Katie Marti also seeing floor time.

Hit pause, marinate in moment

The CHS girls are in a second-place tie heading into the holidays.

And now, a break.

The Coupeville High School varsity basketball teams reached the holiday shutdown in different fashion, but both are sitting pretty in the standings.

The Wolf boys had their final two games of 2021 — including a first-place battle with Mount Vernon Christian — postponed due to Covid concerns.

Meanwhile, the CHS girls did make it on to the court to play MVC, but also saw a non-conference duel with South Whidbey preempted.

All of the missing games are expected to be rescheduled.

Unless those contests land earlier on an altered schedule than expected, neither Wolf squad will be back on the floor in game action until Jan. 4.

For now, Coupeville can prep for 2022 knowing its boys are in first-place in the Northwest 2B/1B League, and its girls are just a game off of the same status.

Bring on the eggnog, and marinate in the moment.

 

Where things stand, through games of Dec. 18:

 

Northwest League boys basketball:

School League Overall
Coupeville 3-0 5-0
MV Christian 3-0 6-1
Darrington 1-1 3-3
La Conner 1-1 3-3

Three-peat for La Conner volleyball

They lost to the best.

The Coupeville High School volleyball squad only came up short against one other 2B school this fall, and that rival ended up once again ruling the state.

La Conner, which handed the Wolves three of their six losses — the other defeats came in non-conference tilts with 1A schools — clinched a third-straight 2B state title Friday.

The Braves, who finished 22-0, didn’t drop a set in sweeping through four matches at the Yakima Valley SunDome.

The 2021 title follows on the heels of similar wins in 2019 and 2018. There was no postseason in 2020, due to Covid.

La Conner previously claimed the crown in 2002, 2006, and 2007, all under current coach Suzanne Marble.

The Braves swept through their foes, knocking off Rainier (25-7, 25-13, 25-7) and Okanogan (25-18, 25-14, 25-7) Thursday.

Then came Friday wins over Manson and Walla Walla Valley (25-15, 25-13, 25-12) in the semifinals and final, respectively.

Manson beat Raymond in the 3rd/4th match, with Colfax (5th), Goldendale (6th), Liberty (Spangle) (7th), and Adna (8th) rounding out award winners.

 

Darrington has busy day:

While La Conner claimed the only ticket out of District 1/2 to the 2B state tourney, leaving Coupeville a match short, the third-place team in the Northwest 2B/1B League also advanced to the big dance.

Taking advantage of a more wide-open field in 1B, Darrington earned a shot and turned it into a three-match adventure.

The Loggers opened Thursday with a 3-0 win over Evergreen Lutheran, before falling 3-0 to #1 Oakesdale and 3-2 to Pomeroy to be eliminated.
