234 players, and 35,493 points.

It’s not 100% correct, but it’s remarkably close.

With the pandemic-altered 2021 hoops season having ended Tuesday, it’s time to update my semi-official Coupeville High School basketball career scoring charts.

First up are the Wolf girls, who saw five girls add their names to a list which stretches back to the start of the program in 1974.

Two of those newcomers are Lyla Stuurmans and Savina Wells, who became the first 8th grade girls to play, and score, in a CHS varsity hoops contest.

With 59 points across 12 games, Wells was Coupeville’s #2 scorer this season, while Stuurmans rippled the nets for 23, including a team-high 10 in the season finale.

There are 12 active Wolves on the list, led by Maddie Georges, who has tallied 124 points across her first two seasons, putting her 85th all-time.

Admittedly, the list isn’t 100% precise, as any stats for the first Wolf girls team in 1974-1975 seem to have vanished into the mists of time.

We’re also missing a couple games from three seasons in the early 2000’s, with the search ever-ongoing.

With that in mind, the CHS girls hoops career scoring list, through June 17, 2021, with active players in bold:

The future is now.

With its two 8th graders playing visiting Darrington almost to a standstill by themselves Tuesday, the Coupeville High School varsity girls basketball squad closed its season with a bang.

Running the Loggers off the floor to the tune of 54-18, the Wolves finished 5-7 during a pandemic-shortened campaign.

After back-to-back somewhat unexpected losses to Friday Harbor and Concrete, Tuesday’s romp sends Coupeville into summer break on a positive note.

“We needed this!,” said CHS coach Scott Fox. “It was a great way to end the season on a high note, and I’m so proud of this group of girls.”

Playing without any seniors on their roster, the Wolves can return all 12 players next season.

That includes two young women — Savina Wells and Lyla Stuurmans — who just graduated from middle school and still have four full seasons of high school hoops action ahead of them.

The 8th graders combined for 16 points Tuesday, with the springy Stuurmans, a defensive demon when unleashed, rumbling for a varsity career-high 10.

Everything was working for Coupeville, with junior Audrianna Shaw, who finished as the team’s top scorer this season, slapping home a pair of layups to start the night off.

Darrington dropped in a three-ball from the top of the arc to cut the lead to 4-3, and then any hopes the Loggers might have had promptly went out the door.

Savina Wells went barreling in for a layup, her long legs carrying her well ahead of the pack, and the ball arriving on her fingertips thanks to an extra-crisp pass from Stuurmans.

That kicked off a 17-0 run, with Coupeville carrying a 21-3 lead into the first break.

Six different Wolves scored during the game-busting tear, with Maddie Georges pumping in three straight buckets at one point.

The sophomore floor leader converted a steal into a breakaway layup, then came back around for a pair of pull-up jumpers, tickling the twines as big brother Alex Evans — from his perch on the bench as a CHS assistant coach — pumped both fists into the air.

CHS was rippling the net from outside, and using the glass to knock down buckets in the paint as well.

Ja’Kenya Hoskins, grabbing every rebound within a three-mile radius, capped the first quarter tear with a pretty, pretty bucket on a strong roll to the hoop.

There was plenty more where that came from, with Coupeville using an 11-0 tear in the second quarter to push the halftime margin out to 32-9.

This time around, it was Anya Leavell going off for six points on a variety of moves, while Savina Wells banked in a three-ball, after probably calling “glass.”

The biggest bucket likely came from the ever-scrappy Morgan Stevens, who dropped in a little jumper in the paint to record her first-ever varsity points.

With the basket, Stevens joins an elite group, becoming the 234th Wolf girl to score at the varsity level since the program began in 1974.

Darrington’s misery grew in the third quarter, with Stuurmans and Hoskins fueling a 16-2 run to the delight of Wolf fans.

Give the Loggers credit, as they refused to let Coupeville get all the way out to a 40-point lead and initiate a running clock.

Scoring the first seven points of the fourth quarter, Darrington cut a 37-point deficit down to 30, assuring the two teams would get a chance to play out the finale in its full glory.

And Coupeville closed strongly, with Stuurmans, Gwen Gustafson, and Ryanne Knoblich hitting on back-to-back-to-back buckets to cap the season.

Eleven Wolves scored, with the lone exception being Izzy Wells, who spent her time setting up others with crisp passes, hauling down rebounds, and being the ever-serene soul of the squad.

Georges and Hoskins finished with eight points apiece in support of Stuurmans and her 10-point coming-out party, while Leavell, Shaw, and Savina Wells peppered the scoreboard for six each.

Carolyn Lhamon (3), Gustafson (2), Stevens (2), Knoblich (2), and Kylie Van Velkinburgh (1) filled out the attack.

 

Final season scoring stats:

Audrianna Shaw – 82
Savina Wells – 59
Izzy Wells – 56
Maddie Georges – 38
Carolyn Lhamon – 32
Anya Leavell – 29
Ja’Kenya Hoskins – 27
Lyla Stuurmans – 23

Ryanne Knoblich – 17

Not much changed.

Six days ago, the young, scrappy Coupeville High School varsity girls basketball team clashed with high-flying La Conner, most likely the best 2B hoops squad in the land.

The Wolves lost that game 74-15, and the rematch Wednesday went almost note for note, with CHS falling 79-13 on the road this time out.

The loss drops Coupeville to 3-4 on the season, while La Conner rolls to 8-0 overall, 7-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play.

And things don’t get a whole lot easier for the Wolves, who return home Thursday to face Mount Vernon Christian (6-1) in the backend of a brutal twin-bill.

One positive note out of Wednesday’s scuffle was the return of starting point guard Maddie Georges, back after missing two games with an ankle injury.

Having their floor leader back on the hardwood helped, at least a bit, but La Conner’s defense was suffocating and unforgiving.

Every loose ball turned into a breakaway, every tentative pass was deflected back the other way, and the Braves rarely missed when they had the ball in the open court.

Tuesday night La Conner faced off with MVC in a battle of unbeatens, and pasted the Hurricanes by 25 points.

Wednesday was more of the same, but by a much-bigger margin.

The Braves scored the first 12 points of the game, before Ja’Kenya Hoskins got CHS on the board with a free throw at the 4:31 mark of the first quarter.

From there, La Conner stretched the margin out to 29-3 at the first break, and 47-10 at the half.

The first of back-to-back three-balls to open the third quarter pushed the game into mercy-rule territory, and a running clock was in use for the game’s final 14+ minutes.

Even so, La Conner closed out its Senior Night with a 32-3 advantage in the second half, with Coupeville’s lone basket being a three-ball off of George’s fingertips.

Afterwards, Wolf coach Scott Fox was philosophical about the clash with a team which would be a heavy favorite if there was a traditional state tourney this school year.

“It wasn’t our best performance and they’re as good as advertised,” he said. “We couldn’t get anything going offensively, and had a hard time stopping them defensively.

“Bottom line is a home game against another powerhouse tomorrow night, and see if we can improve on today’s performance.”

Seven Wolves scored in the game, led by Georges and her three-ball.

Audrianna Shaw (2), Kylie Van Velkinburgh (2), Izzy Wells (2), Anya Leavell (2), Ryanne Knoblich (1), and Hoskins (1) all tallied points, with Lyla Stuurmans, Morgan Stevens, Savina Wells, and Gwen Gustafson seeing floor time.

Focused and in control.

As they prepare for a third rumble with two-time defending state champ La Conner, the Coupeville High School varsity volleyball squad was in fine form Tuesday night.

Taking care of host Mount Vernon Christian 25-21, 25-16, 21-25, 25-14, the Wolves improve to 5-2 on the season and reclaim sole possession of second-place in the Northwest 2B/1B League.

Next up for CHS is a Senior Night rumble with La Conner (7-0) Friday, then a season-closing bout with Orcas Island (3-6) Saturday.

While both matches are home affairs, no fans will be allowed at the second one, as Orcas requires that during the Age of Coronavirus.

The tussle with the Vikings will be broadcast on Facebook Live.

While La Conner is the spiker program everyone measures themselves against, Coupeville didn’t look past MVC.

The first time these two schools clashed on the volleyball court this season, the Wolves had to rally to pull out a nail-biting five-set thriller.

This time around, the action was equally intense, but a little more one-sided.

“I was excited to see that we played much more in control than last time we faced off with MVC,” said Coupeville coach Cory Whitmore.

“That game was a turning point for us to focus on our attacking form and our readiness on defense, and both were much more improved than our last outing against them.”

While the Hurricanes lost, they also came hard, something Whitmore was pleased to witness.

“It was fun to see that MVC was also improved, meaning that we had to earn our points,” he said. “We had a bit of slump in the third set, going back and forth with them before they crept ahead at the end.

“The girls then had to generate the energy as a team in order to break free in the fourth set,” Whitmore added.

“After dropping the third set, you want to see your team take the game back in control and close it in four, which is what they did and I’m especially proud of them for that.”

A key to Coupeville’s success was its smooth work on offense, with sophomore Maddie Georges doling out 37 of her team’s 40 assists.

“Overall, our passing was strong and we were in very comfortable attacking situations,” Whitmore said. “I was really impressed with Maddie’s setting decisions and delivery.

“She averaged 9.25 assists per set, which is a strong distribution.”

Once Georges flipped the ball into play, the Wolf mighty mashers took advantage, with the senior triple threat of Chelsea Prescott (17 kills), Kylie Chernikoff (12), and Maddie Vondrak (10) combining to rain down holy terror on the Hurricanes.

Vondrak was a beast at the net, also picking up a solo block and four block assists, while Chernikoff and Prescott tallied double-doubles.

Chernikoff added 10 digs and three service aces to go with her knee-buckling kills, with Prescott going off for 15 digs and five scorchin’ aces.

Ten Wolves saw floor time in the win, with all of them slappin’ down nice numbers in the stat book.

Sophomore Lucy Tenore “came in and served very well at critical times,” ripping off five aces and “carrying us through to the end of the match with a very strong serving run to close it out.”

Tenore added five digs, three kills, and two block assists, while Georges also picked up four digs, three block assists, and two aces.

Alita Blouin (seven digs), Jill Prince (two digs, a block assist), Abby Mulholland (two digs, an ace) Jaimee Masters (a dig), and Ryanne Knoblich (a dig) also kept the stat-keepers hoppin’.

On the mend.

One of Coupeville’s most-promising young athletes will kick off summer vacation in a boot.

Maddie Georges, who was third on the Wolf varsity squad in scoring during her freshman basketball season, broke her left ankle Saturday.

Mad Dog was a top JV volleyball player right out of the gate, and is the heir apparent to the soon-to-be-graduated Scout Smith at setter for the CHS varsity volleyball program.

Georges then made a huge breakthrough on the hardwood, jumping from being a vital part of an undefeated middle school hoops team in 8th grade to becoming a starter for the Wolf varsity midway through her freshman campaign.

Coupeville’s deadliest three-ball threat, she joined Smith in running the offense, while racking up 86 points.

That left her trailing just Smith (148) and junior Chelsea Prescott (110) on the season scoring chart.

When spring came, Georges also made the CHS varsity softball roster, only to see her season end before it began thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down Washington state schools.

Now, three months ahead of a new high school volleyball season — if prep sports return on time — Mad Dog is on the mend.

The good news is the injury seems fairly uncomplicated.

“A clean break,” said mom Suzan Georges. “So much for softball and on to healing for volleyball and basketball. Girl’s got some serious PT in her future.

“Huge thanks to all the ER doctors, nurses, and X-ray tech,” she added. “We were in and out in less then an hour and a half.”
