The buckets keep droppin’ and the stat keepers stay busy.

We’re another week into the high school basketball season, and several milestones popped up along the way.

Chase Anderson reached 300+ points for the second season in a row — while also tallying his 900th career point — and fellow Coupeville senior Camden Glover passed 200 points during his final campaign.

Also, CMS 8th graders River Simpson, Kamden Ratcliff, and Diesel Eck made their high school hoops debut, and the entire trio recorded points in a JV win over La Conner.

Overall, the Wolves have combined to rattle the rim for 2,421 points as we head into the final week of the regular season.

Loss to Lions lengthens playoff odds

The Wolves have four games left to make their move.

After falling at Concrete Tuesday, the Coupeville High School varsity girls’ basketball team sits on the outside looking in when it comes to potential playoff berths.

Scout Smith’s squad currently sits at 1-5 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 4-10 overall, after absorbing a 50-32 loss to the soaring Lions.

That leaves Coupeville a game back of Friday Harbor in the chase for the fourth, and final, postseason slot for 2B teams.

Mount Vernon Christian (5-0, 12-2), La Conner (5-1, 10-5), Orcas Island (3-3, 7-8) and the Wolverines (2-4, 4-11) would currently advance, while 1B schools Concrete (4-1, 12-3) and Darrington (0-6, 4-9) are both guaranteed playoff invitations.

The Wolves can still make their own magic, with games left against Orcas, MVC, La Conner, and Friday Harbor remaining on the regular season schedule.

A win Tuesday would have helped, but Concrete, enjoying one of its best seasons in recent memory, proved to be too much.

The Lions hit the floor hot and never cooled off, jumping out to a 14-4 lead after one quarter of play, before pushing the margin to 33-8 at the half.

Coupeville found its shooting touch in the second half, putting together 13-11 and 11-6 runs across the third and fourth, respectively, but time ran out on the Wolves before they could mount a full comeback.

“Concrete was tough competition,” Scout Smith said. “They were active and aggressive on defense and could not miss on their shots.

“We tip our hats to them and put all focus on Orcas on Friday.”

Teagan Calkins and Tenley Stuurmans paced CHS with eight points apiece, while Haylee Armstrong (4), Danica Strong (3), Lexis Drake (3), Arianna Cunningham (2), Sydney Van Dyke (2), and Capri Anter (2) also scored.

Adeline Maynes and Kennedy O’Neill rounded out the rotation as all 10 Wolves saw the floor in the loss, with Calkins ripping down a team-high 15 rebounds and making off with three steals.

Stuurmans pilfered five steals, while she, Armstrong, and Strong each picked up a pair of assists.

With her four points, Armstrong moves into a three-way tie with Mia Farris and Marlys West for 50th place on the Wolf girls’ career scoring chart for a program launched in 1974. The trio all sit with 247 points.

 

No JV game:

Concrete only goes one team deep this season, so Coupeville’s young guns had the night off. They return to action Friday at home against Orcas Island.

B-Ball queens battle Blaine

They’re back in action.

Returning to the hardwood after a two-week gap between games, the Coupeville High School varsity girls’ basketball squad opened the three-day, 16-team Trojan Storm Classic Monday in Bellingham.

The Wolves played in the day’s opening game, squaring off with 1A Blaine in a clash where a cold-shooting middle two quarters cost them in a 44-30 loss.

The non-conference defeat drops Scout Smith’s team to 1-5 on the season, but they’ll get right back at it Tuesday and Wednesday with rumbles against yet-to-be-disclosed foes.

Monday’s matchup started as a defensive struggle, with the teams battling to a 6-6 tie heading into the first break.

But then Blaine caught fire for the next 16 minutes, using a 13-4 tear in the second frame, and a 13-6 run in the third, to pull out to a 32-16 advantage.

Coupeville didn’t go down easily, however, rallying to outscore the Borderites 14-12 in a furious fourth, with five different Wolves rattling the rim for points.

Blaine got most of its scoring from two players, with junior Kate Koreski (17) and senior Aaliyah Bowman (15) combining for 32 of their team’s 44 points.

Wolf sophomore Tenley Stuurmans banked in buckets in every quarter Monday to pace her squad with 15 points, while Haylee Armstrong knocked down six.

Kennedy O’Neill (4), Teagan Calkins (3), Ari Cunningham (1), and Danica Strong (1) also scored for CHS, with Capri Anter, Sydney Van Dyke, Adeline Maynes, and Lexis Drake all seeing floor time.

Armstrong reached a personal milestone in the loss, cracking the 150-point club, and currently sits with 154 for her prep career.

Meanwhile, Calkins (284) and Stuurmans (118) are on the cusp of their own achievements.

The former is four points shy of moving into the top 40 scorers all-time for a CHS girls’ program which launched in 1974, while the latter is two points away from cracking the top 100.

Live by the streak, die by the streak

I see your surge, and raise you.

The Coupeville High School varsity girls’ basketball team busted out a 10-0 run at one point Tuesday night against visiting East Jefferson.

Unfortunately for the Wolves, the Rivals, who feature a mashup of players from Chimacum and Port Townsend, went on their own 21-2 and 14-2 tears en route to a 59-42 victory.

The non-conference loss drops Coupeville to 1-2, with CHS set to head to Orcas Island Friday for its first road trip, and first Northwest 2B/1B League game of the season.

Playing a third-straight home game Tuesday, the Wolves fell behind 6-0 in the game’s first minute, before finding their best groove of the evening.

Tenley Stuurmans nailed a silky pullup jumper over the outstretched arms of a defender to kick off the aforementioned 10-0 surge, and she and her teammates were off and running.

Teagan Calkins and Haylee Armstrong added buckets during the seemingly game-busting run, with Stuurmans swooping in to deliver multiple crowd-pleasing baskets, and the Rivals were stuck in reverse.

It wouldn’t last, however.

With Coupeville eventually ahead 12-8, East Jefferson went to a full-court press, and it worked wonders.

Throwing off the Wolf ballhandlers and creating a series of rapid-fire steals, it allowed the visitors to retake the lead at 14-12 heading into the first break.

After freshman Kennedy O’Neill banked in a bucket to open the second frame and knot things back up, East Jefferson’s defense got especially brutal, keying a 15-0 run from which Coupeville never fully recovered.

The Wolves, down 33-18 at the half, played the Rivals almost bucket-for-bucket after the break, but could never quite get back over the hump.

CHS cut the deficit down to seven several times in the third, with Calkins and Danica Strong popping three-balls and Armstrong soundly rejecting an East Jefferson shot, but that was as close as Scout Smith’s squad would get.

Another 10-0 explosion from the Rivals in the fourth stretched the margin back out to 19, and the rally died for good.

Penina Vailolo, a senior from Chimacum, was the prime-time killer, knifing Coupeville for a game-high 26 points, while Stuurmans led the Wolves with 15.

Calkins, O’Neill, and Strong each added seven points, while Armstrong hit for six and moved into the top 100 scorers all-time for CHS girls’ basketball, which launched its program in 1974.

Now with 122 career varsity points and counting, the Wolf junior sits at #98 all-time, while Calkins, a senior who has torched the nets for 265 varsity points, moved from #45 to #42, passing Sarah Mouw (259), Carly Guillory (260), and Madeline Strasburg (261).

Ari Cunningham and Lexis Drake rounded out the rotation Tuesday, both bringing heat on the defensive end of the floor.
