Kalia

Smith is already learning how best to deal with the paparazzi.

Learn their names now, because you’ll be hearing and reading them a lot in the future.

Lindsey. Kalia. Scout. Avalon. And on and on.

The young women who played basketball for Coupeville Middle School may have wrapped up their season Thursday, but they’ll be back.

Bigger. Taller. Stronger. Quicker. More well-honed in the basketball arts.

They were successful on the floor this time around, and that should carry over as they begin to move up and join the very successful CHS squads — the high school varsity and JV went a combined 18-0 in league play — in the coming years.

Until then, here are eight snappy pics of the young guns in action, on and off the court, from the finale in Langley.

The future starts now.

First they cracked Granite. Then they swept ’em up.

Throwing down beat-downs on host Granite Falls, both of the Coupeville Middle School girls’ varsity basketball squads won handily Monday.

The 7th grade Wolves strolled to a 34-20 win, while the 8th grade team ran away with a 37-18 victory behind the play of Ema Smith and Lindsey Roberts.

Roberts tore up the Tiger defense, dropping a team-high 14 that included a flawless 8-of-8 performance at the charity stripe.

CMS will wrap its hoops season with a road game at Langley Thursday, Mar. 12. Tip-off is 3 PM.

The future of Wolf hoops is a bright one.

At the high school level, the varsity girls’ squad went 15-7 and won a league title, while the JV went 14-5. Both teams were a flawless 9-0 in league play.

Meanwhile, the Coupeville Middle School teams, which will provide more weapons for the big leagues in the next year or two, are playing impressive ball of their own.

Roving photo man John Fisken was hanging around the gym Monday as the Wolves played their final home game of the season (they finish with three straight on the road) and snapped the pics above.

“The next sound you’ll hear is the ball hitting the bottom of the net, baby!!”

And we’re officially tipped off.

The Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball squads made their regular-season debut at home Tuesday, battling Granite Falls and being captured on film by roving photographer John Fisken.

In the night’s premier showdown, the Wolf 8th grade varsity came within a missed half-court shot at the buzzer of upending the Tigers.

Battling back from a double-digit deficit, Coupeville, which was playing without vacationing shooting star Lindsey Roberts, got scoring from four players.

Sarah Wright banged home 10 to pace the Wolves, while Kalia Littlejohn (8), Ashlie Shank (4) and Ema Smith (3) all chipped in.

It’s their time.

The opening days of practice are done and the Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball teams take the court for their first taste of competition this afternoon.

The Wolves will be in Langley for a jamboree (3 PM), before starting their eight-game regular season schedule at home Tuesday, Feb. 10 against Granite Falls.

Coupeville plays four of its first five at home (Feb. 12 against Langley, Feb. 25 against Sultan and March 2 against Lakewood), then closes with three straight on the road.

To get you prepped, a first look at the 20 young women who were hanging around the court when traveling photo man John Fisken swung by the gym the other day.
