The buckets are dropping, the win/loss records are starting to roll forward.

High school basketball is back, and gyms have been busy in the early going, with Northwest 2B/1B League teams having racked up nearly 40 games and counting.

Coupeville keeps up the torrid early pace this coming week, with three games on the schedule.

The Wolves take a long bus ride to Forks Monday, then welcome Orcas Island and Morton-White Pass to Whidbey Friday and Saturday, respectively.

That’ll get the CHS squads six games deep into a 20-game regular season schedule.

As things continue to develop, where those win/loss records sit through Dec. 8:

 

Northwest League boys’ basketball:

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

Booters honored by league coaches

Coming off a season where it was in playoff contention until the final game, the Coupeville High School co-ed soccer squad landed four players on the All-League team.

Senior Cael Wilson, who led the Wolves in scoring with seven goals, was tabbed as a First-Team pick by Northwest 2B/1B League boys’ coaches.

He was joined in receiving honors by three other Class of 2025 members, with Preston Epp and Hurlee Bronec named as Second-Team picks and Ayden Wyman claiming Honorable Mention status.

Ayden Wyman sacrifices her noggin.

Wyman notched 13 goals across her first two seasons of high school soccer while leading the Wolf girls’ program, before joining the CHS boys for her junior and senior years after Coupeville was unable to field a girls’ squad.

She was one of two female players to notch All-League honors, joining Cedar Park Christian-Lynnwood sophomore Lydia Negash.

Lopez Island, which had a breakout season while finishing 2nd at the 1B/2B state tourney, swept the league’s top honors.

Junior Andris Meissner was tabbed as MVP, with Mycah Kraushaar honored as Coach of the Year and her team also receiving the sportsmanship award.

Orcas Island, which won its second state title, had the most players picked, with seven of its booters receiving First or Second-Team honors.

Coupeville went 4-4 in conference play while vying in a league which produced three of the top four teams in the state, and 6-8-1 overall.

That included a landmark home win over Mount Vernon Christian, its first in 13 games against the perennial power.

Coupeville league mate wins state soccer title

The Northwest 2B/1B League is back in charge.

Coupeville’s conference re-staked its claim to having the top collection of boys’ soccer teams across the two classifications Saturday afternoon, with Orcas Island toppling Lopez Island 2-0 in Federal Way to win a state title.

It’s the third time in the last four seasons that a NWL squad has captured the crown, with Friday Harbor winning in 2022 and Orcas in 2021.

Upper Columbia Academy, which is playing Providence Classical Christian in the 3rd/4th place game Saturday night, won the title in 2023, momentarily breaking the run.

With Orcas, Lopez, and PCC bringing home trophies, that gives the NWL 11 of the 16 awards handed out in 1B/2B across the past four seasons.

The last time Coupeville’s conference didn’t produce at least half of the final four teams was 2020 … when the pandemic erased all state tournaments.

All four of the NWL teams to make the playoffs survived through bi-district play to make it to state, with Friday Harbor, which edged out CHS and Mount Vernon Christian for the final postseason slot, also advancing.

Those Wolverines were knocked out in the state quarterfinals by Upper Columbia Academy (1-0), while Orcas, Lopez, and PCC all won their big dance openers.

Lopez took out the defending champs 2-1 in the semifinals, winning in a shootout, while Orcas drilled PCC 4-1 in the other matchup.

That set up a third showdown between the Vikings and Lobos.

The teams split their first two meetings, with both coming out on top to a 1-0 tune.

Coupeville, which went 6-8-1 overall, 4-4 in league action, lost 3-1 to Lopez and 5-0 to Orcas this season.

“The Franchise” is the MVP.

Coupeville High School senior Lyla Stuurmans has been hailed by Northwest 2B/1B League volleyball coaches as the top spiker in the conference after a memorable final run.

Stuurmans, who helped the Wolves reel off 18 straight wins, claim league and bi-district titles, and place 4th at state, was a stat-producing machine.

She paced CHS in kills (200), solo blocks (22), and block assists (19), while also collecting 113 digs, 30 service aces, and 16 assists.

Joining her as First-Team All-Conference picks were fellow seniors Mia Farris and Katie Marti, while junior Teagan Calkins was named a Second-Team honoree.

“Mia the Magnificent” put together a strong performance across the board, delivering 174 kills and 179 digs to go with 38 aces, five assists, three block assists, and one solo block.

Meanwhile, Marti sparked the offense from the setter position, leading the Wolves with 577 assists and 58 aces. She also picked up 120 digs, 30 kills, and six block assists.

Calkins smacked 194 kills, went low for 64 digs, and rifled 33 aces. She also had 15 block assists.

Senior Madison McMillan was tabbed for Honorable Mention status, while Wolf head man Cory Whitmore was the NWL Coach of the Year.

McMillan filled up the stat sheet with 77 kills, a team-best 194 digs, four block assists, 22 assists, and 46 aces.

Concrete received the Team Sportsmanship award.

As he surveyed the results of All-League voting, Coupeville’s coach was a happy man.

“I’m so proud of the girls,” Whitmore said.

“Not only are they incredible athletes, but they’re also wonderful young adults and have been an absolute pleasure and honor to coach and spend time with.

“No surprise they got noticed by the other coaches.”

One week left.

Or actually more like three or four days.

Fall sports comes to a close for Coupeville High School this coming week, with volleyball making a trek to Yakima for the state tourney Wednesday and possibly Thursday.

The Wolf spikers are the last team standing as soccer, football, cross country, and cheer have wrapped their campaigns.

So that means today’s look at the standings is our last one until basketball season kicks into gear.

Ari Armstrong, Nick Shelly and associates have gotten CHS sports off to a strong start this fall.
