Another season in the books, another batch of scoring stats to add to the history of the program.

The 2021-2022 campaign was the 48th season for Coupeville High School girls basketball, which kickstarted its program in 1974.

During that time there have been 238 Wolves who have rattled the rims for at least a point during a varsity game.

Or so we can say with some certainty.

The truth is that first team in ’74-’75 exists outside of time and space, as the local newspaper didn’t cover its games, and a scorebook has never surfaced during my sleuthing.

So the career scoring chart I have amassed is close to the final word, but definitely not 100% correct. Yet.

With the current season having reached its conclusion, after a three-game playoff run, it’s time to take a look at where everyone stacks up in the all-time shuffle.

Here we go, with the nine active Wolf players who can return next season in bold:

The final score was foul, but the photos were fair.

While the Coupeville High School girls basketball team couldn’t quite hang with a powerhouse La Conner crew Thursday, the Wolves did win the snapshot war.

The pics above and below come to us from wanderin’ photographer John Fisken.

Gwen Gustafson has places to be, and baskets to score.

Lyla Stuurmans has the perfect angle.

They said box-out, and Carolyn Lhamon 100% understood the assignment.

You take your lumps, and you move on to the next test.

Buffeted by questionable foul calls, but also unable to convert on enough of their own free throw attempts, the Coupeville High School varsity girls basketball squad absorbed a narrow loss Tuesday night.

Falling 45-37 to visiting Sedro-Woolley — in a game that was a one-basket affair with 90 seconds to play — the Wolves slide to 6-6 on the season.

But the game, a late addition to the schedule, was a non-conference bout, and one which should hopefully help prep CHS as it makes a bid to nab a playoff berth.

The Wolves have three games left on the regular season schedule, with two against Friday Harbor, a team it needs to beat to advance to the district tourney.

The first of those rumbles is on the road this Friday, Feb. 4, while the second comes at home Feb. 12 on Senior Night.

Facing off with a 2A school in Sedro, the 2B Wolves got a chance to work on fine-tuning things, and an opportunity to vie with a physical opponent.

When the refs let them play.

While the guys in the striped shirts are rarely the sole cause of a team losing, they didn’t make things any easier on Coupeville, keeping several key players stuck to the bench with early foul trouble off of debatable interpretations of the rules.

The Wolves came out strongly, however, jumping to a 5-1 lead on an Izzy Wells layup and a three-point play the hard way from Maddie Georges.

Coupeville’s opening bucket was set up by some nice passing, with the ball zinging from Georges to Lyla Stuurmans to Wells.

Back in the lineup after missing some time, Wolf enforcer Ja’Kenya Hoskins lit up the net in the first quarter, as well.

She slapped home a layup off of a precise feed from Savina Wells, before converting a second bucket later in the quarter when she rolled through a teeny-tiny crease in the Cub defense.

Trailing just 14-13 at the first break, Coupeville sparred with Sedro for much of the second frame.

Savina Wells swooped in for a bucket off of a steal, while Nezi Keiper drained a pull-up jumper that was so smooth it caused several of the CHS boys hoops players in the stands to fall out of their seats.

Toss in another bucket for Izzy Wells, with Gwen Gustafson shredding the defense on the set-up pass, and the Wolves were still within 20-19 as halftime loomed.

That was when foul trouble really started to hurt, however, as Sedro closed on a 5-0 run with both Wells sisters catching some unwelcome pine time.

Georges drilled a three-ball from the left side to open the second half, but the Cubs responded with an 8-0 tear, and that left Coupeville fighting from behind the rest of the night.

Facing their biggest deficit at 33-22, with fans muttering about the back-stabbing refs, the Wolf players tuned out the hubbub, earning a fist pump or two from coach Megan Smith.

Another three-ball from Georges helped spark a 7-2 run to close the third, before back-to-back fourth quarter buckets from the CHS junior, and a huge block from Savina Wells, kept the rally going.

Fighting off five Sedro players, and all three refs as well, Hoskins yanked a rebound free and spun back up for two points to get the margin down to 39-37, setting up things for a frantic finale.

It wasn’t to be, however, as the visitors spent the final 90 seconds of the game carving a path in the floor walking to the free throw line.

Toss in a game-capping layup, which featured a picture-perfect full-court baseball-style pass — and then about a million little steps from the Cub receiver as she went to the basket — and the night reached its end.

While the game didn’t end with a dramatic buzzer-beater, it did feature a couple of historical moments for stats freaks.

Georges finished with a team-high 15 points, giving her 228 for her career.

That shoots her into a tie with Ema Smith for #50 on the CHS girls scoring chart, which has been an ever-evolving document since 1974.

Savina Wells (5) breaks down the defense.

Also reaching a personal milestone was freshman Savina Wells, who notched her 100th point on a free throw.

Having tallied 59 as an 8th grader, and 42 this season, Savina (101) joins older sister Izzy (167) as two of just 105 Wolf girls to reach triple-digits over the past 48 years.

Best buds Hoskins and Izzy Wells tallied seven points apiece Tuesday, with Keiper (4) and Savina Wells (4) also singing the net.

Stuurmans, Gustafson, and Abby Mulholland rounded out the CHS players to see floor time against Sedro, with Stuurmans bringing her usual firecracker intensity to her defensive duties.

Tough start, better finish.

Missing four key players Saturday, the Coupeville High School varsity girls basketball team struggled in the first half at Oak Harbor, before finishing strongly.

Unfortunately, the 2B Wolves, who only had seven players hit the floor, couldn’t complete the comeback against their 3A neighbors and fell 54-33.

The non-conference loss, coming in a game thrown together at virtually the last moment, drops Coupeville to 6-5.

The Wolves return to the floor Tuesday, hosting 2A Sedro-Woolley in another game recently added to the schedule.

After that comes a three-game stretch which will determine Coupeville’s playoff fate.

The Wolves travel to Friday Harbor Feb. 4, trek to La Conner Feb. 10, then host Friday Harbor on Senior Night Feb. 12

Two of the three 2B schools in the seven-team Northwest 2B/1B League make the postseason, and powerhouse La Conner (3-0 overall against Coupeville and Friday Harbor) has (almost) clinched the #1 seed.

The Wolves, who are 0-1 in the three-team mini-rumble, sit a half-game up on Friday Harbor (0-2) in the pursuit of the #2 seed.

Whichever of the two schools gets that second slot faces Auburn Adventist in a loser-out district playoff game in Coupeville Feb. 15.

Win there, and you play in the district title game Feb. 17 — also at CHS — with both teams in that game earning trips to the state tourney.

While the next two weeks will determine if Coupeville’s girls can get to the big dance for the first time since 2016, Saturday’s game was a chance to go toe-to-toe with the biggest school on Whidbey Island.

Putting nine girls into the scoring column — led by 13 points from Heidy Hurtado — Oak Harbor jumped on the undermanned Wolves, however.

Up 19-6 by the first break, the Wildcats stretched their lead out to 36-14 at halftime.

Coupeville put together its best run in the third quarter, with freshmen Savina Wells and Lyla Stuurmans knocking down three-balls during a 10-4 surge.

As she reflected on the game, and the strong effort put out by the players she had in uniform, CHS coach Megan Smith was philosophical about things.

“Lots of turnovers in the first half really hurt us,” she said. “Made some adjustments at halftime and came out much stronger in the second half.

“Put up a good fight, but it was just too late into the game to turn it on,” Smith added. “Good learning game though.”

Junior gunner Maddie Georges tied Hurtado for game-high honors, flipping the nets on four treys as she rolled up 13 points of her own.

Savina Wells backed her up with nine points, including a perfect six-for-six performance at the free throw line, while Stuurmans added her three-ball.

Everyone who played for Coupeville scored Saturday, with Nezi Keiper, Izzy Wells, Audrianna Shaw, and Carolyn Lhamon each netting a bucket.

 

No JV game:

Saturday’s Island rivalry matchup was varsity only, with Coupeville’s second squad taking the night off.

With another solid game Saturday, Maddie Georges moves into 55th place on the CHS girls career scoring chart.

Third quarter for the win!

Busting open a tie ball game Saturday, the Coupeville High School varsity girls basketball squad hit the jets, scorched the net and ran away from visiting South Whidbey.

Closing the third frame on a torrid 15-4 run, with mad bomber Maddie Georges nailing back-to-back three-balls, the Wolves broke open a tense game on their way to a 48-38 win.

Despite playing with just seven players, and that included a JV ace participating in just her second varsity contest, Coupeville finished the week with a pair of wins.

Now 6-4 after the non-conference victory over South Whidbey, the Wolves are off for a week, not returning to action until they travel to Oak Harbor next Saturday, Jan. 29.

That game is a recent addition to the schedule and will lead into a final three-game stretch of league clashes against Friday Harbor, La Conner, then Friday Harbor again.

The hope is to return as many of the missing players as possible back to the lineup next week, but nothing is set in stone during the Age of Coronavirus.

Saturday marked the return of Izzy and Savina Wells, and the sisters gave Coupeville a big burst of energy — plus a combined 18 points, which is pretty dang nice.

A game between two fairly evenly matched teams, Saturday’s rumble went back and forth for the first 17 minutes or so.

The Falcons got on the board first, thanks to some free throws, while Wolf junior Gwen Gustafson sank the first field goal of the game thanks to a picture-perfect jumper on the move.

The first of a trio of three-balls from Georges pinned Coupeville to an early 5-2 lead, while the Wolves closed the opening quarter with a nice series of plays.

Carolyn Lhamon lowered her shoulder, knocked her defender into the cheap seats, and slapped home a layup, before the Wells sisters turned into the Wonder Twins.

Savina Wells came from behind to soundly reject a Falcon shot, kickstarting a breakaway which finished with Izzy Wells beating the crowd to the hoop at the other end.

Things weren’t going to be easy, however, as a narrow 11-9 lead after one became a 23-23 tie at the half.

There were five ties and five lead changes in the second quarter before Lhamon closed the half by crashing right up the middle, dodging two defenders and lofting in a swooping layup as her mom yelled “Way to go, Tiny!”

That came on the heels of well-executed buckets from Izzy Wells — off of a crisp inbounds pass from Lyla Stuurmans — and one on which Stuurmans rumbled down the baseline, daring any Falcon to stop her as she rampaged to the hoop.

Spoiler: they didn’t.

After exchanging points to open the third, the game hung in the balance, and that’s when Coupeville, to a woman, stepped forward and seized all the momentum.

Lhamon popped a jumper which hit the bottom of the net just as the shot clock buzzer wailed, and that set off a game-busting 7-0 run.

While South Whidbey scratched its way back to 32-29 with the clock ticking down in the third, the Wolves closed on another tear — this one 8-0 — to seal the deal.

Savina Wells, ignoring Falcon benchwarmers trying to ruffle her concentration by drumming on the floor, arched in a pair of free throws, then Georges got deadly.

Her first three-ball beat the shot clock buzzer by .00001 of a second, while also banking in off the glass, while her final trey gave her exactly 200 points as a varsity hoops player.

The fourth quarter was a hotly contested affair, but Coupeville held on, pushing the lead out to 45-31 on a three-ball from Savina Wells, before closing things with a defensive gem.

Georges, who led all scorers with 13 points, scrambled back on defense, cut off an incoming Falcon, firmly planted herself and took a knee to the chest as the ref made the offensive charging call with an emphatic fist punch.

That left the fiery Wolf junior with her biggest grin of the game, one matched by CHS coach Megan Smith.

While she takes considerable pride in her defensive work, Georges also reached an offensive milestone by scoring her 200th point.

She’s the 58th Wolf girl to reach that mark in the history of the CHS girls hoops program, which dates back to 1974.

And Georges wasn’t the only Coupeville player to make some history Saturday, as Izzy Wells and Carolyn Lhamon, who each scored 11, passed the 150 and 100-point marks, respectively.

The elder Wells has 158 and counting, while Lhamon has recorded 102 career points.

Savina Wells dropped in seven points, Gustafson rattled the rim for four, Stuurmans added a bucket, and freshman Mia Farris had a busy day, playing both JV and varsity.
