It was a beautiful beatdown.

Getting points from 10 different players Saturday, the Coupeville High School girls JV basketball team annihilated host Port Townsend.

Toasting the RedHawks 51-11, the Wolves used the non-conference win to improve to a spiffy 9-3 on the season.

Megan Smith’s squad came out on fire and ran away with the game early, jumping out to an 18-6 lead after one quarter of play.

Coupeville’s deadliest gunner in the early going was sophomore swing player Audrianna Shaw, who peppered the nets for 10 points in the first frame alone.

After that, the Wolves steadily added to their lead, pushing the advantage to 31-9 at the half, then 43-9 after holding Port Townsend scoreless in the third quarter.

With plenty of scoring opportunities, Coupeville spread out its offensive load, with freshman Alita Blouin and Shaw tying for team-high honors with 12 points apiece.

Ella Colwell, Savana Allen, and Jessenia Camarena provided plenty of support for the dynamic duo, with each Wolf ringing up six points.

Ryanne Knoblich (2), Natalie Castano (2), Anya Leavell (2), Kylie Van Velkinburgh (2), and Gwen Gustafson (1) also scored, while Heidi Meyers, Mollie Bailey, and Morgan Stevens saw floor time.

Coupeville returns to action next week with two of its final three North Sound Conference tilts.

The Wolves travel to Shoreline Tuesday to face King’s, then host Granite Falls Friday night.

Mother Nature 2, Basketball 0

It was going to happen sometime.

Winter weather conditions and Island life finally conspired Thursday to mess up the high school basketball schedule.

Coupeville and Port Townsend were set to face off in four games, with the boys action on Whidbey and the girls games on the mainland, but Mother Nature had other ideas.

“Due to small craft advisory through 1:00 AM and increasing winds through the evening we are canceling tonight’s games rather than risk both teams getting stuck,” said CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith.

“We have always erred on the side of caution when it comes to the PT ferry, which is what we are doing tonight,” he added. “We will look to reschedule at a later date; thank you for your understanding.”

The unpredictability of the Coupeville/Port Townsend ferries to handle various weather-related issues was one of the reasons the Wolves listed when they departed the Olympic League two years ago.

Thursday’s games were non-conference rumbles which would have featured the CHS girls trying to improve to 7-1 and the Wolf boys attempting to pull up to .500 at 4-4.

Both programs will return to action Saturday, when Nooksack Valley comes to Coupeville for a weekend doubleheader. That event starts at 1 PM.

Unless Deception Pass Bridge gets ripped down by giant octopuses between now and then.

Booters head home to fight for playoff lives

Something had to give.

Two win-less girls soccer teams that have struggled to score this season clashed Thursday in Port Townsend, but only one came away happy.

Unfortunately for Coupeville players and fans, it was the host RedHawks who survived a rough-and-tumble affair to escape with a 2-0 win.

The non-conference loss drops the Wolves to 0-9-2 on the season, while Port Townsend improves to 1-8.

Coupeville, which is still in contention for one of the five playoff spots awarded in the six-team North Sound Conference, face its biggest game of the season early next week.

The Wolves, who are 0-6 in league play, host Sultan (1-5, 1-8-2) Tuesday night in a 6 PM game.

A win would allow CHS to move up into a tie with the Turks for the league’s final playoff berth, while a loss would all but eliminate them.

If Coupeville and the Turks are tied at the end of the season, they would meet in Sultan Oct. 24 for a tie-breaker game.

The #5 seed from the North Sound Conference opens postseason play Oct. 26 at home, hosting the #4 seed from the Northwest Conference (currently Mount Baker, which is 0-12) in a loser-out game.

With Coupeville’s final three regular-season games against Cedar Park Christian (3-3, 6-4), South Whidbey (6-0, 10-0-1), and Granite Falls (3-3, 6-5), making up a two-game deficit would be a hard task.

The Wolves have struggled with injuries to key players all year.

Leading scorer Genna Wright went down in the season opener, and never returned, while starters Mollie Bailey, Natalie Hollrigel, Mallory Kortuem and more have missed games.

Best team in town

Willow Vick is part of a CHS varsity volleyball squad off to a 9-1 start.

Call it a palate cleanser before the main meal.

Having reached the halfway point of the league season a night before, the Coupeville High School varsity volleyball squad spent Thursday relaxing.

Sort of.

The Wolves were back on the floor less than 24 hours after beating Sultan, and this time they had to leave behind their home gym and travel across the waters to Port Townsend.

But it was also sort of relaxing, as the high-flying Coupeville spikers rolled to a quick ‘n easy non-conference win over the RedHawks, coming out on top 25-8, 25-4, 25-10.

The victory lifts the Wolves to a sparkling 9-1 on the season, and now they’ll have a couple days off to mentally and physically prepare for the second half of the conference schedule.

CHS, which is 4-1 in North Sound Conference action, a game off of first-place King’s (5-0) in the six-team league, travels twice next week.

The Wolves invade gyms at Cedar Park Christian Tuesday and South Whidbey Thursday.

The trip to Port Townsend gave CHS coach Cory Whitmore a chance to use every available player, with 11 of 12 varsity athletes hitting the floor.

Only Chelsea Prescott, who is recovering from an ankle injury, sat out the contest.

“It was a good outing tonight with a total team effort,” Whitmore said. “Good to follow up Sultan with a commanding win at Port Townsend.”

Coupeville’s stat line in the straight-sets demolition derby:

Kylie Chernikoff — three kills, one ace, one dig
Hannah Davidson — six kills
Emma Mathusek — three digs
Lucy Sandahl — three aces, three digs, one assist
Scout Smith — two kills, three aces, two digs, 22 assists
Lucy Tenore — one kill
Maya Toomey-Stout — eight kills, six aces, three digs, one assist
Zoe Trujillo — three kills, six aces, one dig
Raven Vick — five aces
Willow Vick — one kill, one ace
Maddie Vondrak — four kills

Ivy Leedy and Co. are now 7-2 on the season.

Quick turnaround, quicker win.

Less than 24 hours after dismantling Sultan at home, the Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad was back at it Thursday night, thrashing Port Townsend on the road.

The ferry ride probably took longer than the match, as the Wolves cruised in with a 25-5, 25-8, 25-8 win over the RedHawks.

With the non-conference victory, Coupeville’s young guns send their record soaring to a pretty dang good 7-2 on the season.

CHS coach Chris Smith kept his bench hoppin’ Thursday, rotating in 11 players, with all of them having an impact on play.

Freshman setter Maddie Georges kept the offense clicking, doling out 14 assists to go with seven service aces and two kills.

Also coming up big were Abby Mulholland and Taygin Jump, who each pounded six aces, while Kylie Chernikoff crushed her enemies, saw them driven before her, and enjoyed the lamentation of the women as she sprayed seven kills.

The rest of Coupeville’s stat line on the night:

Alita Blouin — one kill
Chernikoff — three aces, one dig
Jump — two kills
Ryanne Knoblich — two kills, one ace, one dig
Anya Leavell — three kills
Jaimee Masters — three aces, two digs
Heidi Meyers — four aces
Mulholland — two kills

Jill Prince and Ivy Leedy also saw floor time for Coupeville, which gets back to North Sound Conference action next week, traveling Tuesday to Cedar Park Christian and Thursday to South Whidbey.
