Back to the drawing board.
After three very competitive games to open the season, the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball squad hit a rut in the road Tuesday, falling 58-18 to visiting East Jefferson.
The non-conference loss, coming to a 1A program which combines students from two high schools — Port Townsend and Chimacum — drops the Wolves to 1-3, with a road trip to Orcas Island set for Friday.
With a young, resilient squad at their beck and call, CHS coaches can expect a strong bounce back.
Not much went right for the Wolves against East Jefferson, with the host team falling behind 13-2 after one quarter of play and 26-8 by the halftime break.
Things didn’t get much better from there, as the visiting Rivals then scorched the nets for 21 points in the third quarter alone.
Coupeville did spread out its offensive workload, with Nathan Coxsey leading the way with five points.
Carson Grove (3), Josh Stockdale (3), Jayden McManus (2), Trent Thule (2), Ayden Warren (2), and Liam Lawson (1) also scored, with Brian Thompson, Chris Zenz, and Jaden Flores Garcia seeing floor time for the Wolves.
