Welcome to blowout city.

Raining down buckets from every direction, and seemingly from every player, the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball squad romped Friday night.

Led by a 19-point, five three-ball performance from freshman Mason Grove, the Wolves jumped out quickly and sailed to a 57-32 win at Mount Vernon Christian.

The non-conference win lifts the CHS young guns to 7-6 on the season.

Coupeville put the game away quickly, storming out to a 20-6 lead after one quarter.

Six Wolves tallied points in the early going, with Grove hitting a pair of treys and a pair of free throws for a quick eight.

After that, Wolf coach Dustin Van Velkinburgh was able to roll out everyone who was in uniform, with 15 guys playing and 11 scoring.

Grove knocked down three more long-range shots in the fourth quarter to put a cap on his game-high 19, while his primary backup came from a brand-new Wolf.

Freshman Branden Newhard, making his CHS debut after recently moving to Whidbey, went for nine of his 11 in the second half.

Toss in six from Jered Brown, and the Wolves would have won playing a three-man game.

Coupeville didn’t stop there, however, with Sean Toomey-Stout and Jacobi Pacquette-Pilgrim draining four points apiece.

Aiden Juras (3), Gavin Knoblich (3), Jean Lund-Olsen (2), Nikolai Lyngra (2), Koa Davison (2) and Ulrik Wells (1) rounded out the scorers.

Kyle Rockwell, Ariah Bepler, Elliott Johnson and Tucker Hall also saw floor time.

Never skipped a beat.

Playing without three of their four tallest players Tuesday, the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball squad turned to the three-ball and knocked off host Concrete 40-36.

The win, which snaps a brief two-game skid, lifts the Wolves to 5-4 headed into Christmas break.

Coupeville played without big men Kyle Rockwell, Koa Davison and Jacobi Pacquette-Pilgrim, but sharpshooter Mason Grove picked up the offensive slack.

Raining down 17 points, including four treys, he kept the Wolves alive early, then put them over the top later.

Concrete actually led 16-11 after the first quarter, with Grove (6) and Sean Toomey-Stout (5) accounting for all the CHS points.

The second quarter saw an immediate change, as the Wolves clamped down on defense, using a 12-2 surge to snatch the lead away for good.

Jered Brown hit a pair of shots, but it was Grove who wielded the biggest dagger, rolling up another eight points with treys #3 and #4 and a pair of free throws.

From there, Coupeville coasted home for the win, icing the game with strong work at the free-throw stripe.

“It wasn’t pretty, but we got the job done,” said CHS coach Dustin Van Velkinburgh. “Got good minutes from Tucker Hall, Nikolai Lyngra, Dawson Houston and Elliott Johnson.”

Toomey-Stout hit for nine to back up Grove’s 17, while Brown knocked down seven.

Ulrik Wells, Coupeville’s only active big man, powered inside for four and Jean Lund-Olsen came up with all three of his points down the stretch.

Bombs bursting in air!!

The real show was in the side room.

Pitting three-ball flinging mad men against South Whidbey’s big bangers, the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball squad pulled out a wild 55-51 win Saturday night.

In a game where the lead went back-and-forth all night, the Wolves, now 3-2, held on to grab victory on the strength of their shooting from behind the arc.

Freshman Mason Grove knocked down seven treys, including three in the fourth quarter, as CHS countered a Falcon lineup which included freshmen who come in at 6’5 and 6’4.

Clinging to a one-point lead entering the final quarter, the Wolves put the ball in Grove’s hands and he answered, scoring half of his team-high 24 points in the final eight minutes.

That point total is the best by a CHS player this year, varsity or JV.

Grove’s treys also came in the white hot spotlight, with one tying the game late in the going and the next one giving Coupeville the lead for good.

Jered Brown, who tossed in 11 points in support, followed up Grove’s back-to-back bombs with a steal that he turned into a breakaway to seal the deal.

Drawing a defender to him while on the fly, the Wolf frosh hit a reverse layup, then added a free-throw after getting hammered at the end of the play.

“Jered is one of the toughest kids I’ve coached, and that’s saying a lot,” said Coupeville coach Dustin Van Velkinburgh.

Also coming up big were Jacobi Pacquette-Pilgrim, who “did the yeoman’s work” in trying to deal with the Falcon’s big duo, and Ulrik Wells and Nikolai Lyngra, who did “a fantastic job” helping the Wolves deal with losing three players to fouling out.

Pacquette-Pilgrim dropped in eight in support of Grove and Brown, while Sean Toomey-Stout (5), Koa Davison (4) and Kyle Rockwell (3) also scored for the Wolves.

Tuesday was the appetizer, Thursday is the main course.

Two days before it heads off to the Olympic League tournament, the Coupeville High School boys’ tennis squad wrapped up regular-season play with a 6-2 non-conference loss at South Whidbey.

The match gave the Wolves, who finished 5-8 on the season, some valuable court time, as two of their previous three matches were rained-out.

With little at stake, CHS shuffled its roster a bit Tuesday, giving doubles ace Joey Lippo his first crack at playing singles.

Thursday, the Wolves will take three singles players (Nick Etzell, Jakobi Baumann and Mason Grove) and three doubles duos to Chimacum for the league tourney.

John McClarin/Joseph Wedekind, Lippo/William Nelson and Grey Rische/Jimmy Myers will represent CHS, which went 4-0 in conference play to nab its second straight regular season league title.

The top four finishers in each flight at the league tourney advance to districts Oct. 26-27.

Complete Tuesday results:

1st singles — Joey Lippo lost to Levi Buck 2-6, 6-2, 7-6(7-2)
