Kyla Briscoe

   Defensive dynamo Kyla Briscoe has helped the CHS girls stretch their unbeaten streak in Olympic League play to 20 games.

As we sit a game away from everyone heading out for Christmas break, there are several basketball story-lines developing.

The Wolf girls once again sit atop the 1A Olympic League standings, and, with two wins this year, have stretched their unbeaten run in conference games to 20.

That streak (9-0, 9-0, 2-0 and counting) ties Klahowya girls soccer (6-0, 6-0, 8-0) for the longest run of success by any program in the league’s 2.5 year run.

The other emerging tale is the offensive show being put on by Wolf junior Hunter Smith.

He torched the nets for 25-point performances in both of his last two home games, and currently has a 57-point cushion on anyone else wearing the red and black.

Smith is averaging 16.3 points a night through the first eight games, and, at 130 points, has already tied what he put up during an injury-plagued sophomore campaign.

As you get ready for Tuesday’s tango at Concrete, then a long wait until a trip to Orcas Island Dec. 30 reignites things, here’s the down-low:

Olympic League girls basketball:

School League Overall
COUPEVILLE 2-0 4-3
Port Townsend 2-0 3-2
Chimacum 1-2 4-3
Klahowya 0-3 2-4

Olympic League boys basketball:

School League Overall

Now things get interesting.

The first week of high school basketball was about non-conference games and tournament play (the CHS girls won their second straight Friday Harbor Tip-Off Classic), but things ramp up in week two.

Both Coupeville teams will play three games this coming week, with the first two Wednesday and Friday being 1A Olympic League clashes with Chimacum and Klahowya.

So far, the league’s girls teams have fared better, much better, than the boys, boasting a 6-3 mark in non-conference games against a combined 1-7 for their male counterparts.

Records through Monday morning:

Olympic League girls basketball:

School League Overall
COUPEVILLE 0-0 2-1

Avalon

   All three 8th grade Wolves shown here — (l to r) Avalon Renninger, Hannah Davidson and Scout Smith — have had success droppin’ buckets this season.

To be a truly successful basketball player, you need to be effective on both sides of the ball.

That being said, games are won and lost by how many points are scored.

Plus, points are the easiest stat to keep track of, and I am, if nothing else, in favor of taking the easy route on most things.

So, here we go, (unofficial) scoring stats for Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball players at the halfway point of their 10-game season.

Two quick notes.

First, these stats are for 7th or 8th grade varsity games (JV scoring is not included).

Second, the 7th graders only played a half game against Forks, so their numbers are based on 4.5 games, making the leading scorer’s numbers even more impressive.

CMS girls’ varsity scoring stats:

Chelsea Prescott 63
Scout Smith 34
Avalon Renninger 32
Morgan Pease 20
Hannah Davidson 19
Maya Toomey-Stout
19
Genna Wright 19
Emma Mathusek 15
Mollie Bailey 10
Brooke Ausman 2

Coming off its second straight 1A Olympic League title, the Coupeville High School girls’ basketball squad will only lose one player to graduation.

But, that lone senior, Makana Stone, will leave a huge hole on the offensive side of the floor.

She accounted for 46% of the 928 points thrown down by the Wolves in a 16-6 campaign.

The other nine CHS players combined to outscore her, but just barely, working together to chip in with 501 points as Coupeville averaged 42.2 a night in 2015-2016.

The final (unofficial) scoring stats for the best Wolf girls team in a decade:

Makana Stone — 427
Kailey Kellner — 147
Mia Littlejohn — 146
Tiffany Briscoe — 58
Lauren Grove — 57
Lindsey Roberts — 54
Kyla Briscoe — 19
Allison Wenzel — 12
Skyler Lawrence — 6
Lauren Rose — 2

HUnter Smith

   Hunter Smith, who was fourth on the team in scoring despite missing time with an injury, is one of two Wolves who could return next season.

It came down to the final game.

With a balanced offense all year, the Coupeville High School boys’ basketball squad had three players with a chance to finish atop the scoring charts.

In the end, senior Wiley Hesselgrave dropped in nine points in the season finale last Thursday to break a tie and edge Jordan Ford.

That gave him back-to-back team scoring titles.

As a team, Coupeville improved its scoring, jumping to 1,092 points this season after racking up 1,057 a year ago.

While the team leading total was down (Hesselgrave knocked down 273 as a junior and 217 as a senior), part of that was because other players stepped up.

Three Wolves topped the 200 point barrier in 2015-2016, while only Hesselgrave did the season before.

Five of the seven returning players topped their individual scoring marks from a year ago.

A lot of this year’s scoring will now vanish with graduation, though.

Nine of the 11 players who were full-time varsity players in 2015-2016 were seniors, with only sophomore Hunter Smith (4th in scoring) and junior Gabe Wynn (5th) slated to return.

Four other players saw action in one game, but none of them scored.

Seniors Andre Avila and Beauman Davis played on Senior Night, while freshman Ty Eck and junior Brian Shank debuted in the fourth quarter of their team’s playoff loss.

The final (unofficial, but pretty sure we’re right) scoring stats for the Wolf boys’ varsity hoops squad:

Wiley Hesselgrave — 217
Jordan Ford — 210
Risen Johnson — 204
Hunter Smith — 130
Gabe Wynn — 84
JJ Johnson — 76
DeAndre Mitchell — 54
Ryan Griggs — 50
Dante Mitchell — 34
Jared Helmstadter — 22
Desmond Bell — 11
