It slipped away.

Locked into a tight battle for three quarters Tuesday, the Coupeville High School JV girls’ basketball squad couldn’t quite pull off a fourth quarter miracle.

Instead, visiting Friday Harbor used a 20-5 surge across the game’s final eight minutes to turn a tense tussle into a blowout and headed back to the bus with a 49-28 win.

The loss, coming in the Wolves first home game of 2026, drops CHS to 0-3 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 1-6 overall.

Coupeville hung tough for much of the game, trailing just 9-6 after one quarter and 17-11 at the half, before battling to a 12-12 tie in a barnburner of a third quarter.

Anna Powers and Ava Lucero each knocked down four points coming out of the halftime break to keep CHS within a couple of buckets before the dam finally broke in the final frame.

Friday Harbor stung the Wolves from long distance and did so repeatedly.

While the visitors couldn’t make a free-throw, going 0-3 at the charity stripe, they did splash home five shots from behind the three-point arc to bust things open.

Coupeville spread out its offense, with Lucero, Taylor Marrs, and Anna Powers each racking up six points, while Olivia Hall banked in five.

Zayne Roos (4) and Cami Van Dyke (1) also etched their names in the scorebook, while Willow Leedy-Bonifas, Emma Cushman, and Allie Powers all saw floor time for the Wolves, who return to action Friday with a trip to La Conner.

They’re learning the game from every angle.

Incoming Coupeville High School freshmen Taylor Marrs and Lillian Ketterling are not only top soccer players, but they’re sanctioned refs as well.

The duo, who have attended clinics and done hours of online work to prepare, were making calls at this weekend’s Washington Rush Cup at Skagit River Park in Burlington.

That tournament drew tons of teams, with multiple Whidbey Island-based squads winning titles.

Ketterling and Marrs suit up for a Deception FC team which didn’t play in the tourney, allowing them time to pick up their first assignments as officials.

“They did a great job and are gaining a lot of experience and knowledge of the game,” said Wolf Mom Emili Marrs.

“Which I’m sure they will put to good use on the field as they are also both ready to play girls soccer this fall as freshmen.”

Somewhere in the world today, a Central Whidbey girl is being dynamic.

Whether it’s on the softball field or soccer pitch, Coupeville’s young women are spending the summer scorching their rivals.

The pics above and below, poached off of their mom’s Facebook accounts, capture just a few of them.

They are Wolves, and they are gonna howl.

The new year is only nine days old, and yet the milestones are starting to pile up.

Four different Coupeville High School basketball players recorded their first varsity buckets during the first game of 2024, the same night Logan Downes cracked the 1,000-point club.

Seniors Reese Wilkinson, Kayla Arnold, and Timothy Nitta, and sophomore Aiden O’Neill gained entrance to the exclusive club while in Darrington, forever cementing their status as made men (and women).

Overall, the Wolves have produced 1,646 points this season, and we can properly award 1,620 of them to the players who popped the ball through the net.

Those other 26, scored on a night when the scorebook operator went AWOL on the JV girls? That’ll haunt us forever.

Summertime is for soccer.

Three Coupeville girls are staying busy during the vacation months, running the pitch for the U12 Deception FC out of the North Whidbey Soccer Club.

Taylor Marrs and Lillian Ketterling are headed into 6th grade at Coupeville Middle School, while Tamsin Ward will be a 5th grader at the town’s elementary school.

The trio have three tournaments on their summer schedule, with the season rolling into the fall.

The summer finale is at the Starfire Extreme Cup in mid-August.

Taylor Marrs, who is following in the soccer footsteps of older sister Lauren, a standout goalie headed into her sophomore campaign at Oak Harbor High School, is in her second season.

Ward and Ketterling are both making their debuts this year for Deception FC, which is coached by Miko Delafield and Brian Marrs.
