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.

It slipped away.

Unable to hold on to a lead late, the Coupeville High School JV girls basketball team fell just short Friday night at Mount Vernon Christian.

Up by six points headed into the fourth quarter, the young Wolves were outscored 14-2 in the final frame, setting the final deficit at 35-29.

The loss drops Coupeville to 1-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 1-3 overall, heading into the holiday break.

MVC’s second squad is a perfect 4-0 after escaping from the Wolves.

With Saturday’s games at South Whidbey postponed, CHS doesn’t hit the floor again for a game until Jan. 4.

Friday, the Wolves were in control of the game for much of the night, jumping out to a 10-4 lead at the first break.

MVC closed the gap to 18-15 by halftime, but Coupeville asserted itself with a 9-6 run in the third quarter.

Unfortunately for the Wolves, that was where the buckets stopped dropping.

Meanwhile, the Hurricanes rode a big fourth-quarter performance from sophomore Kiera Link, who went off for 10 of her game-high 14 points in the final eight minutes.

Freshman Katie Marti paced Coupeville with 10 points, including a pair of three-balls, while Gwen Gustafson knocked down eight, and Madison McMillan rippled the nets for six.

Nezi Keiper (3) and Reese Wilkinson (2) rounded out the scoring, with Mia Farris, Jada Heaton, Brooklyn Thayer, Kayla Arnold, Skylar Parker, Lyla Stuurmans, and Bryley Gilbert earning floor time.

They’re a second-half team.

The Coupeville High School JV girls basketball team struggled putting points on the board early Saturday, before closing on a hot streak.

The Wolves outscored visiting Forks 10-6 in the fourth quarter, with four different players putting the ball in the net, during a 31-18 loss.

The non-conference defeat drops the JV to 0-2 on the season, and marks the final time the young Wolves will play in front of their home fans until 2022.

Coupeville’s varsity has a home game against Darrington next week, but the Loggers don’t have a JV.

After that, the Wolves hit the road for games at Orcas Island, Mount Vernon Christian, and South Whidbey, not playing in their own gym again until a Jan. 4 tilt with La Conner.

Coupeville had the fan support Saturday, but Forks, after a long trip, came out on fire, jumping to a quick 12-3 lead after one quarter of play.

The Wolves clamped down on defense after that, but the rim was unforgiving to CHS, as the deficit slowly crept out to 17-5 at the half, and 25-8 through three quarters.

The final frame was different, however, with Madison McMillan, Katie Marti, Edie Bittner, and Skylar Parker all making the net pop for Coupeville.

McMillan finished with a game-high eight points, with six of those coming after halftime, while Marti banked in four points.

Parker (2), Bittner (2), Bryley Gilbert (1), and Mia Farris (1) also scored for Coupeville, with Jada Heaton, Desi Ramirez-Vasquez, and Kayla Arnold also seeing floor time.
