Not much action, but it was all positive.

Coupeville only played a single foe on the basketball court this week, but both the Wolf girls and boys came away with solid non-conference wins over Concrete.

As winter break kicks off, a lack of games was a trend all across the Olympic League, as Port Townsend, Klahowya and Chimacum join CHS in biding their time.

Once we get past the start of the new year, things will ramp up in intensity, and the heart of the conference schedule will come to the forefront.

Until then, a look at the stat sheet shows four Wolves, senior Allison Wenzel and three newbies, netting their first points of the season against Concrete.

For sophomores Gavin Knoblich, Hannah Davidson and Ulrik Wells, those buckets also marked their first-ever varsity points.

Everything is a little topsy-turvy at the moment.

Only a smidge of the conference season has been played, yet things look totally different than in years past.

A new-look Coupeville High School girls basketball squad dropped its Olympic League opener to Port Townsend, ending a three-year, 27-game winning streak against conference foes.

While there are still miles (and eight conference games) to go, the Wolves find themselves looking up at other teams for the first time since joining the four-team league in 2014.

On the other side of the ball, the CHS boys are tasting rarefied air.

After rallying from 12 points down in the fourth quarter to stun defending league champ Port Townsend in overtime, the Wolves sit atop the standings.

There’s still a lot to be played in that race, as well, but, for the moment, the view from the penthouse is a sweet one.

Both Coupeville teams have a stretch of non-league contests ahead of them, and don’t face off with another conference rival until Jan. 6.

Then, they close with eight of their final 10 games inside the Olympic League, the time period when playoff dreams will truly live and die.

Until then, take a gander at varsity scoring stats and league standings through Dec. 17:

   Defensive dynamos Kalia Littlejohn (back) and Ema Smith may goof around during photo shoots, but are deadly-serious on the court.

It’s never too early to look at the numbers.

We’re only a week into the new basketball season, and the number of games played widely varies team to team.

So, take everything in the proper context and … and … Hunter Smith is coming for all your records!!

OK, deep breath.

The reality is the Coupeville boys have only played two games, or exactly 10% of their regular-season schedule. There’s a long way to go.

But, through those first two games, Smith is averaging 22 points a night, having hit 24 on the road at Blaine and 20 at home against Mount Vernon Christian.

Stay healthy and keep the same shooting touch and the Wolf senior could make a run at cracking Coupeville’s Top 10 for single-season and career scoring.

Having entered the season with 465 points, he’s now at 509 and has leap-frogged four former CHS stars to sit, for the moment, as the 41st best scorer in the 101-year history of Wolf boys hoops.

On the other side of the ball, fellow senior Mikayla Elfrank leads the way, averaging a whisper under 13 a game.

And what do the standings tell us?

Well, no one has played a league game yet, but Coupeville is the only school to get a win from both its girls and boys teams.

So, on we plunge, with the Wolves returning to the court this coming Friday and Saturday (Dec. 8-9).

CHS hosts Sequim, then travels down to South Whidbey, with both doubleheaders non-conference affairs.

It’s a donnybrook, and we’re only (almost) a third of the way into the fight.

With regular season play done for volleyball, soccer and tennis, and just one more week of football left, year #4 of the Olympic League is again a two-team tussle.

Klahowya, the second-biggest 1A school in the state, and Coupeville, the sixth-smallest, are all but tied as we begin to make the turn and look ahead to basketball season.

The Eagles hold a narrow 21-20 lead on the Wolves, when varsity wins across those four sports are totaled up.

Meanwhile, way in the back, Port Townsend sits with seven victories and Chimacum four.

Coupeville volleyball and Klahowya soccer, which both went 9-0 in conference action, winning their second and fourth consecutive titles, respectively, were the cream of the crop.

With both tennis squads tying with four wins apiece, the edge has come down to football, where the Wolves have been hammered by the worst spate of season-ending injuries in several decades.

KSS is not only much healthier, but gets the better draw in the season’s final game next week, traveling to Chimacum, while CHS visits state-ranked Cascade Christian.

However those games break down, one thing is certain — the battle for league supremacy remains truly a battle as we head into the second of three legs.

League standings, through Oct. 29:

Olympic/Nisqually League football:

School League Overall
Cascade Christian 6-0 8-1
Charles Wright 5-1 7-2
Bellevue Christian 3-3 3-6
Klahowya 3-3 3-6
Port Townsend 3-3 3-6
Vashon Island 2-4 2-7
COUPEVILLE 1-5 3-6
Chimacum 1-5 3-6

Olympic League volleyball:

School League Overall
COUPEVILLE 9-0 12-2
Klahowya 5-4 7-8
Port Townsend 3-6 5-11
Chimacum 1-8 1-11

Coupeville has had plenty to cheer for this fall, with its varsity teams posting a combined 11-5 record in league contests. (David Stern photo)

The disparity in the 1A Olympic League continues to grow.

With one minor exception (Port Townsend football), conference domination is again a two-team battle between Coupeville and Klahowya.

A week into Oct., the Eagles, who rep the second-biggest 1A school in the land, have 13 varsity wins, spread across volleyball, football, tennis and soccer.

Meanwhile, the Wolves, who spring from the sixth-smallest 1A student body, are hot on their heels with 11 victories.

Way, way in the back are Port Townsend (four, with three coming from the gridiron) and Chimacum (one lonely volleyball win over PT).

The week ahead (Oct. 9-13) doesn’t offer Coupeville many chances to increase its league win total, with limited games and three of its four sports facing non-conference 2A foe Sequim.

But the Wolf tennis team has a pair of matches against Chimacum, while the CHS football squad hosts Nisqually League foe Bellevue Christian for Homecoming.

Those teams have a combined one win this season, which bodes well for the Wolves.

Current league standings through Oct. 8:

Olympic/Nisqually League football:

School League Overall
Cascade Christian 3-0 5-1
Charles Wright 3-0 5-1
