Girls basketball is booming in Cow Town.

At every level, high school to elementary school, Coupeville hoops stars are laying down beat-downs.

Over the weekend, both of the Wolf girls SWISH teams handily won games, with the 6th graders pounding Mt. Vernon and the 7th/8th graders decimating a pair of Canadian squads.

The pipeline is in great shape.

The young players who will one day form the core of the Coupeville High School girls’ basketball program continue to dominate at the SWISH level.

Rampaging to a pair of wins Saturday, the Wolf 7th/8th grade squad sent a pair of Canadian teams packing, running their season mark to a pristine 5-0 in league play.

“We have bought in and the girls continue to grow and get better,” said Coupeville coach Dustin Van Velkinburgh.

The Wolves pasted a 7th grade team from South Langley, British Columbia 40-10, then held off the same town’s 8th grade team 18-11.

Seven of Coupeville’s players scored, with Chelsea Prescott pouring in 17 across the two games to lead the way.

Anya Leavell added 14, while Izzy Wells (8), Kiara Contreras (7), Sam Streitler (4), Abby Mulholland (4) and Ja’Kenya Hoskins (4) all etched their names in the record-book.

Kylie Van Velkinburgh, Lily Leedy and Audrianna Shaw also saw floor time for the high-flying Wolves.

People are getting massacred out here.

Coupeville’s 7th grade SWISH girls’ basketball squad is inflicting beat-downs left and right and Saturday was a prime example.

Thrashing Orcas 31-9, the Wolves improved to a flawless 3-0 on the young season.

Coupeville got strong scoring across the board, led by Izzy Wells, who dropped in 10 to outscore her rivals by herself.

Anya Leavell, Audrianna Shaw and Abby Mulholland chipped in with four apiece, while Kiara Contreras (3), Chelsea Prescott (2) and Ja’Kenya Hoskins (2) rounded out the scoring.

Kylie Van Velkinburgh, Sam Streitler and Adair DeJesus-Ramirez also saw floor time for the Wolves, who are coached by Dustin Van Velkinburgh.

No mercy.

Pounding a pair of big city rivals Saturday, Coupeville’s SWISH girls’ basketball squad rolled to an undefeated day.

After holding off Anacortes 19-13, the Wolves shredded Oak Harbor 32-4 in the nightcap.

Coupeville coach Dustin Van Velkinburgh credited the victories to a team-wide commitment to the basics.

“It was defense and effort,” he said.

Chelsea Prescott had the hot shooting hand, dropping in eight against Anacortes and 10 on Oak Harbor.

Anya Leavell netted 12 over the course of the two games, while Izzy Wells (9), Audrianna Shaw (6), Kiara Contreras (4) and Abby Mulholland (2) all helped carry the scoring load.

Sam Streitler chipped in with hustle and grit, as every Wolf came prepared to unleash a beat-down on their hapless foes.

One of Coupevill’s youngest athletic stars needs a helping hand from his community.

Bennett Boyles, a member of the town’s 6th grade SWISH basketball team, is battling autoimmune encephalitis, and his teachers at the Ebey Academy are conducting fundraisers to help with his medical expenses.

The Academy is hosting two “Parents Night Out” events Apr. 30 and May 21, where people can drop their children and a donation off and have an evening to themselves, knowing their progeny will be well looked after.

They are also planning a book sale and a garage sale.

Donations are accepted 24/7, and you don’t have to have children, or drop them off, to help Boyles and his family.

Bennett, whose mom Lucienne and aunt Cara both attended Coupeville schools, has spent all 11 years of his life here, brightening the lives of those around him.

Autoimmune encephalitis, which was first diagnosed in 2005, is a disease in which the immune system attacks the brain.
