The first 798 points are in the books.

With 2025 rolling to a close, and the 2026 section of the high school basketball season coming up, scorebook keepers have put down their pencils for the holiday break.

At least here in town.

The Wolf varsity girls are slated to head to Meridian Dec. 29-31 for the Trojan Storm Classic, but other than that, we’re almost done with the first leg of the campaign.

They almost made it all the way back.

Unfortunately for the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball team, a furious fourth quarter rally Friday night couldn’t quite save the Wolves.

CHS slashed a double-digit deficit down to a single bucket on Orcas Island, but time ran out, allowing the Vikings to escape with a narrow 46-43 victory.

The loss drops the Wolves to 4-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 5-5 overall, with three games left on the 2024-2025 schedule.

Coupeville came out cold, falling behind 19-5 after one quarter of play, which left it scrambling all night.

The Wolves trimmed the Vikings lead down a bit, pulling within 27-17 at the half, before trailing 37-26 through three frames.

CHS hit both of its three-balls in the fourth, with Mahkai Myles and Carson Grove draining treys to spur a 17-9 rally.

Unlike the varsity game, where Orcas spent much more time at the free throw line, Coupeville got the benefit of the ref’s whistles in the JV rumble but failed to convert.

While the Vikings were just 4 of 13 at the free throw line, the Wolves were 11-26, letting way too many shots slide off the rim on a night where a handful of points would have changed their fate.

Davin Houston finished with a team-high 13 points to pace CHS, with Grove knocking down nine and Riley Lawless powering through the paint for seven.

Myles (5), Khanor Jump (4), Malachi Somes (2), Easton Green (2), and Sage Arends (1) also scored, with Liam Blas bringing the heat on the defensive side of the floor for the Wolves.

Davin Houston

Davin Houston is heating up.

The free-wheeling Coupeville High School sophomore, a fan favorite who always stops to scrimmage after games with elementary school hoops stars, went off for a second straight game Friday night.

By the time Daniel and Alia’s youngest was done, Houston had torched visiting Orcas Island for a season-high 20 points, sparking the Wolf JV boys’ basketball team to a come-from-behind 53-41 win.

The victory, coming in the Northwest 2B/1B League opener, lifts CHS to 2-2 on the season.

And the Wolves will try and keep the good times flowing when they turn right back around Saturday afternoon and host non-conference foe Morton-White Pass.

They’ll take the court led by Houston, who has rattled the rims for 37 points across the last two games, and Mahkai Myles, who singed the nets for a season-best 12 points Friday in support of his running mate.

Orcas came out strongly, jumping ahead 16-9 after one quarter of play, but the Wolves had an immediate response.

With Houston and Myles combining for 14 points in the second frame, CHS went on an 18-4 tear to claim the lead for good.

From there, the Wolves led 35-32 through three, then closed with a vengeance, bombing the Vikings 18-9 in the final period.

Easton Green (6), Malachi Somes (5), Liam Blas (4), Sage Arends (2), Carson Grove (2), and Riley Lawless (2) scored in support of Coupeville’s big two, while Kyle McCrimmon and Nathan Coxsey also saw floor time for coaches Craig Anderson and Jon Roberts.
