Teagan Calkins has one more season left to pop shots. (Jackie Saia photo)

Season #51 is in the books.

Thursday’s playoff loss to Orcas Island put a cap on the 2024-2025 campaign for the Coupeville High School varsity girls’ hoops program, so now it’s time to update the career scoring chart.

We’re still missing stats from the inaugural season, as the Whidbey News-Times opted not to write about the 1974-1975 team (or girls sports in general…), but other than that, I feel pretty good about the numbers we’ve compiled.

Three departing seniors — Katie Marti, Lyla Stuurmans, and Mia Farris — cracked the top 50, while next year’s top returning scorer, current junior Teagan Calkins, sits at #52.

It took a moment or two, but then everything clicked into place.

Getting revved up after a lackluster start Thursday, the Coupeville High School varsity girls’ basketball team turned on the offensive fireworks and romped to a win in its playoff opener.

From five points down to 17 up, the Wolves rode the rollercoaster before exiting with a 45-36 win over visiting Auburn Adventist Academy.

The win lifts CHS to 9-10 on the season and sends them to the semifinals of the double-elimination District 1/2 tourney.

Megan Richter’s squad heads to Mount Vernon Christian Saturday, and win or lose, will host its third playoff bout.

Upset top-ranked MVC and the Wolves advance to the title game, set for the CHS gym Feb. 20.

Lose Saturday, and Coupeville hosts Friday Harbor — which it has beat twice this season — Feb. 18 in a loser-out game.

Thursday’s tilt started nicely, with CHS senior Lyla Stuurmans banking in the first bucket of the game.

Then, things went sideways for the Wolves.

Shots rimmed out, passes sailed over outstretched fingertips, and Auburn slowly crawled out to a 7-2 lead as the first break neared.

Coupeville needed a spark, and it found one in the magic shooting fingers of Mia Farris.

The Wolf senior beat the defense, and the clock, knocking down a pullup jumper with three ticks left on the clock in the first quarter, and the comeback fuse was lit.

And how, as Coupeville suddenly found its offensive groove, going on a 20-6 rampage in the second frame.

It started with Teagan Calkins slashing down the baseline for a leaning layup and closed with Farris converting an offensive rebound into a second-chance bucket with … wait for it … three ticks left on the clock.

Truly “Mia the Magnificent,” marinating in her moment.

In between those two buckets, Coupeville got big plays from Tenley Stuurmans — netting three free throws after being fouled while shooting a three-ball — and big sis Lyla.

The elder Stuurmans, who is closing her run as the only girl in school history to play five seasons of varsity basketball, snapped the net on a trey which gave her precisely 250 career points at that moment.

The pass which set up the historic three-ball? It was delivered by Tenley Stuurmans.

Sparked by an opportunistic defense which created a ton of loose balls and second-chance shots, the Wolves rambled into the halftime locker room with a 24-13 lead and a strut in their collective steps.

To which Auburn Adventist declared, “We’re not dead just yet.”

The visitors hit back-to-back three-balls as part of an 8-0 surge to open the third, cutting the deficit down to 24-21 and hope briefly flickered for their fans.

But the Wolves weren’t having it.

Not missing a beat, Coupeville immediately rallied for its own 13-0 run, with five different players scoring, before capping the quarter with a layup from Madison McMillan.

Which sank through the net with … three ticks left on the clock … making for an uncanny run of quarter-ending buzzer-beaters from the Wolves.

Coupeville eventually stretched the advantage all the way out to 17 at 43-26 in the fourth quarter, before Auburn rallied late to get the final score back down to a more-reasonable margin.

For the only time all night, the Wolves did NOT end a quarter with a buzzer-beater, electing just to dribble out the final seconds as their fans and classmates celebrated.

Calkins led the way with a team-high 12 points, while Tenley Stuurmans (9), Lyla Stuurmans (7), Farris (6), McMillan (6), Haylee Armstrong (3), and Katie Marti (2) also scored.

Defensive dynamos Jada Heaton and Danica Strong rounded out the rotation, blitzing Auburn shooters and making them flinch all game.

The action came in waves Tuesday night.

Ultimately that made for a tricky ride, however, as the Coupeville High School varsity girls’ basketball team soared like seasoned surfers at times, only to be swept under by a brutal undertow at other moments.

From the giddiness of hitting five of their first six shots, to the despair of being on the wrong end of a 21-0 run later, the Wolves experienced all the colors of the rainbow.

By the time the clock ticked to 0:00, CHS was on the losing end of a 61-39 clash with visiting Mount Vernon Christian, dropping the home heroes to 4-4 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 7-9 overall.

MVC is a pristine 7-0 in conference action and is built to make a run at a state title, so the loss was not unexpected.

How we got there was, however, just that – a bit unexpected.

The Wolves hit the floor radiating intensity and started dropping daggers and getting their fans hyped up.

Teagan Calkins swished a three-ball from the right side of the floor moments into play, then came back around to bang home a bucket off a lob from Danica Stong.

Add two points for Strong herself — set up by a sweet dish off the fingertips of Lyla Stuurmans, and Coupeville was sitting pretty up 7-0.

Mount Vernon never panicked, though, hitting the first three of its ten three-balls, and slowly fought back to a 14-14 tie by the end of the quarter.

Calkins remained at her furious best, channeling her “Red Dragon” persona as she banged away for 10 points in the opening frame.

Most of her buckets were set up by precision passes from her teammates, with Mia Farris and Katie Marti picking up assists as well, and the Wolves offense was clicking.

Until it wasn’t.

MVC closed the first quarter with back-to-back treys, then peppered the net for the first 15 points in the second.

Lyla Stuurmans finally broke the drought, nailing a jumper off a pass from Haylee Armstrong, but the Hurricanes slapped home two more baskets to carry a 33-16 lead into the halftime break.

And yet, there was real hope.

Coupeville cut the lead down to 10 early in the third, saw the deficit swell back up to 17, then stormed back within eight at 40-32.

Calkins continued to singe the net from all angles, while Tenley Stuurmans tickled the twine on several free throw attempts to keep things interesting.

The ‘Canes offense was too much to totally shut down, though, as the visitors knocked down three-balls #8-10 in the final quarter to make the game seem like more of a runaway than it really was.

Right before the final buzzer Calkins slipped a free throw through the net for her 19th, and final, point of the night.

That gives the Wolf junior an even 200 for her varsity career, as she becomes the 65th CHS girl to crack the club between 1974-2025.

Strong popped for seven points in support, with Tenley Stuurmans (5), Farris (4), and Lyla Stuurmans (4) also scoring.

With those four points, Lyla Stuurmans moves to 238 for her career, slipping past Wolf legend Breeanna Messner (235) to become the #50 all-time scorer in program history.

Armstrong, Marti, Madison McMillan, and Jada Heaton rounded out the rotation for Coupeville, which returns to action this Friday, Jan. 31, when it travels to La Conner.

Unleash “The Red Dragon” and feel her wrath.

Going off for a career-high 24 points Tuesday, fueled by five successful shots from behind the three-point line, Teagan Calkins led the charge as the Coupeville High School varsity girls’ basketball squad rolled to a convincing win.

From two points down early in the second quarter to cracking visiting Concrete 65-34 by the time things were all said and done, the Wolves were at their most explosive.

The victory, Coupeville’s fourth in its last five games, lifts the Wolves to 4-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 7-7 overall.

Heading into a road trip Friday to Orcas Island, Megan Richter’s squad has moved up into third place in the seven-team conference.

Slipping past Concrete (3-2), the Wolves are a half game back of La Conner (4-1) and a game-and-a-half off of heavyweight Mount Vernon Christian (5-0).

McMillan tells Teagan Calkins to go forth and destroy their foes.

Tuesday’s tilt was a tense one for about nine minutes or so.

Concrete, which is a tidy 11-4 overall, played even with the Wolves through a 10-10 first quarter, then hit two free throws to open the second frame.

Coupeville had swished a couple of sweet early shots, with Mia Farris and Lyla Stuurmans drilling jumpers and Katie Marti splashing home a three-ball set up by a rebound and kick-out from Stuurmans.

But then things got loud, suddenly and with a startling intensity.

Calkins kicked off a 20-0 run with a free throw, then a steal which she converted into a breakaway bucket, and the Wolves were off to the races.

During the game-busting run, Coupeville ramped up its defensive intensity, frequently poking the ball free and holding its own on the boards.

The Wolves quickly converted their extra opportunities, whether it was Marti nailing a pullup jumper after snatching a loose ball off the floor, or Calkins knocking down a three-ball off of a rebound.

When Concrete finally stopped the bleeding, swishing its own trey, CHS hit right back 2.1 seconds later, with Danica Strong rippling the nets on another three-ball.

Set up by a silky-smooth pass from Tenley Stuurmans, Strong’s shot from the parking lot staked the Wolves to a 33-15 lead at the half and sent her team into the locker room on a giddy high.

That high never broke, with Calkins exploding right out of the gate in the third quarter.

Wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am, the “Red Dragon” connected on four consecutive three-balls, with the final one coming from somewhere around half court.

That pushed the lead out to 47-17, then Calkins turned the scoring over to others.

Madison McMillan came roaring off the bench to rain down all 10 of her points in the second half, with Jada Heaton setting up one of those buckets by ripping a rebound away from a Concrete rival.

Farris and McMillan both scored off of precise passes from each other, with McMillan’s pass thrown behind her back, as the senior sparkplug was wheelin’ and dealin’.

Mia Farris looks for an opening in the defense in an earlier game.

Coupeville, which had its biggest scoring day of the season, split the offensive action between eight different players.

Calkins (24), Farris (10), and McMillan (10) all hit double-digits, with Marti (7), Lyla Stuurmans (6), Strong (5), Capri Anter (2), and Haylee Armstrong (1) also scoring, while Heaton and Tenley Stuurmans rounded out the rotation.

In the midst of all the points, two Wolves hit personal milestones, as “Mia the Magnificent” (206) joined the 200-point club and Calkins (170) cracked the 150-point club.
