It was the perfect storm, if you wanted very few games played.

The aftereffects of snow and ice mixed with the never-ending pandemic shuffle to keep most Northwest 2B/1B League basketball teams off the court this past week.

On the boys side of things, only one of nine scheduled games was actually played, with Coupeville running La Conner off the floor.

Things were slightly more active for girls hoops squads, with an emphasis on the word slightly.

La Conner KO’d Coupeville’s girls, while Mount Vernon Christian blasted Concrete a few days later.

Then, Saturday night, La Conner broke triple-digits, shellacking Concrete in a savage 104-14 win.

Other than that, six of nine scheduled games failed to have a tip-off.

The week ahead is pretty barren, as well, at least for Coupeville, which currently only has one set of games on the schedule.

The Wolves host MVC Tuesday, Jan. 11, with the boys game a showdown for sole possession of first-place in the NWL.

After that, barring pesky Covid positives, or frogs raining down from the skies, CHS goes full-tilt, with four games in five days between Jan. 18-22.

Maybe.

Until then, here are where things stand through games of Jan. 8:

Northwest League boys basketball:

School	League	Overall
Coupeville	4-0	6-0
MV Christian	3-0	6-2
Darrington	1-1	3-3
Friday Harbor	1-2	2-4
La Conner	1-2	3-5
Orcas Island	1-2	3-4
Concrete	0-4	1-7

Northwest League girls basketball:

School	League	Overall
La Conner	6-0	10-0
MV Christian	4-1	8-2
Coupeville	3-2	4-3
Darrington	1-2	3-4
Orcas Island	1-2	2-5
Friday Harbor	1-3	1-6
Concrete	0-6	2-7

Wolves held in check by Hurricanes

The rim was unforgiving.

Held to a season-low in points Friday, the Coupeville High School varsity girls basketball squad hit a rare pothole.

Unable to sustain much of a charge against host Mount Vernon Christian, the Wolves fell 55-24, snapping a three-game winning streak.

The loss drops Coupeville to 3-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 4-2 overall, heading into the holiday break.

Defending NWL champs La Conner sits atop the standings at 4-0, while CHS and MVC are tied for second-place, a game back with eight more conference clashes coming in 2022.

Coupeville is off for two-weeks plus, not playing any games, league or non-league, until Jan. 4.

Entering play Friday, Coupeville had tallied between 36 and 59 points every time out. That streak ended, however.

The Wolves fell behind 8-0 after one quarter, then were staring at a 29-2 deficit by the time the halftime break rolled around.

Coupeville’s only first half bucket came courtesy of a putback off of a rebound by Izzy Wells, and CHS didn’t score again until the 3:22 mark of the third quarter.

Trailing 39-2 when Audrianna Shaw drilled a three-ball, the Wolves found a second wind, something which pleased its leader.

“We showed up halfway through the third (quarter) and finally started to play,” said Coupeville coach Megan Smith. “It was a big learning game for us.

“I’m bummed for them, but they saw that we could play with the top dogs,” she added. “It’s all about confidence, and we finally gained it.”

The Wolves put together their best offensive showing in the fourth quarter, winning the eight-minute battle 16-12.

Delivering a nice jolt of energy was junior sniper Alita Blouin, who banged away for a team-high 11 points in her season debut.

Crashing through the defense and drawing frequent fouls on her foes, “The Assassin” revived memories of her middle school days, when she terrorized anyone who dared to step to her on the hardwood.

Running mate Maddie Georges backed up Blouin with five points, including a late three-ball, while Shaw (3), Izzy Wells (2), Nezi Keiper (1), Savina Wells (1), and Ja’Kenya Hoskins (1) also scored.

While the team’s shooting touch was AWOL early, Coupeville’s hustle and grit on defense were always evident, with Keiper and Carolyn Lhamon hitting the boards with intensity.

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.

A huge weekend for the Coupeville High School boys basketball program has been postponed.

Games Friday at Mount Vernon Christian and Saturday at home against South Whidbey have been cancelled due to positive Covid results during team testing.

The news affects both varsity and JV contests.

The games, Coupeville’s final ones before the holiday break, will be rescheduled at a later date, said CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith.

The Wolf girls teams are still set to play games against the same foes this weekend.

Friday’s varsity boys game would have been a battle for sole possession of first-place in the Northwest 2B/1B League, with Coupeville and MVC both 3-0 in conference action.
