Burn the nets, rack up a win

Sweet, sweet payback.

Avenging a narrow early-season loss, the Coupeville High School JV girls’ basketball squad caught fire Friday night, thrashing visiting Friday Harbor.

The first time the teams met, back in mid-December, the Wolverines came out on top 36-32.

This time around, it was all Wolves, all night long, as Kassie O’Neil’s pack rolled to a convincing 52-27 win.

The victory lifts CHS to 2-3 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 5-6 overall, with two games left on the schedule.

The Wolves host Orting Saturday in a non-league rumble, then travel to La Conner next Tuesday, Feb. 6 for the season finale.

Friday night Coupeville blew out to a 16-8 lead at the first break, and never relented.

A 14-2 run in the second frame pushed the margin out to 30-10 at halftime, before the Wolves stretched the advantage to 46-21 through three quarters.

Coupeville spread its offense out, with Tenley Stuurmans leading the way with a game-high 18 points.

The Wolf 8th grader, along with several of her teammates, is pulling double duty right now.

They’re wrapping up their debut high school season while also practicing for the start of middle school hoops, which opens play Feb. 8 at home against South Whidbey.

Bryley Gilbert, who slapped home most of her points in the first half Friday, finished with 14 to back up Stuurmans, while Adie Maynes and Haylee Armstrong rippled the net for eight apiece.

Capri Anter and Ava Lucero banked in a bucket each to round out the scoring, while Taylor Marrs, Chelsi Stevens, Lexis Drake, and Ari Cunningham also saw floor time for the Wolves.

Young, scrappy, and building for the future

The young guns are ahead of the curve.

Six of the 11 players on the Coupeville High School JV girls’ basketball team are just 8th graders, pulling double duty.

Starting Monday those scrappers will join their fellow middle schoolers for the CMS season, while still playing out the rest of this campaign with the high school squad.

It’s a baptism of fire, and Kassie O’Neil’s youngest players are holding up well.

“They’re playing really good right now,” said the CHS hardwood guru. “Love to see it.”

Those 8th graders accounted for half the points Friday during a 56-29 loss to a much-more experienced Mount Vernon Christian squad.

While the home defeat drops the Wolves to 0-3 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 3-6 overall, learning under fire is invaluable for the growth of Coupeville’s future stars.

One of the precocious group, Tenley Stuurmans, paced Coupeville Friday, popping for a team-high nine points.

The latest in a string of strong hoops players to emerge from her clan, Lyla’s lil’ sis banked in four of those points in the opening quarter as CHS hung tough, trailing 19-10 at the first break.

MVC steadily pushed the lead out from there, to 29-17 at the half and 47-21 after three quarters of play, but the Wolves stayed scrappy to the end.

With 8th grader Adie Maynes going off for all five of her points in the final frame, while Stuurmans added another three, Coupeville fought until the final buzzer sounded.

Five Wolves recorded points in the clash, with Stuurmans (9), Brynn Parker (7), Maynes (5), Bryley Gilbert (4), and Haylee Armstrong (4) all putting their name into the scoring column.

Taylor Marrs, Chelsi Stevens, Ari Cunningham, Lexis Drake, Ava Lucero, and Capri Anter also saw floor time for the Wolves, who return to action with a home game Jan. 23 against league rival Concrete.

Their moment is coming.

Coupeville Middle School girls get their crack at basketball in the new year, with an eight-game season running from early February to early March.

It’ll actually be a continuation for some of the 8th graders, as a pack of those Wolves are currently playing on the high school’s JV team.

When they make a return visit to middle school action, they’ll be joined by other 8th graders, as well as players from 7th and 6th.

Bennett Richter is scheduled to be back as coach, while the school is currently looking for a new running mate for him to replace the departed Mia Littlejohn.

 

The schedule:

Thur-Feb. 8 — South Whidbey — (3:15)
Tues. Feb. 13 — @ Granite Falls — (3:15)
Thur-Feb. 15 — @ Sultan — (3:15)
Tues-Feb. 20 — @ Northshore Christian — (3:15)
Thur-Feb. 22 — King’s — (3:15)

Cousins burn nets in narrow loss

Pretend the second quarter didn’t happen.

In that scenario, the Coupeville High School JV girls’ basketball team would have left Sultan Saturday night with a win.

Unfortunately for the Wolves, the scorebook keepers insist on following the rules, and that leaves Cow Town’s hardcourt warriors on the short end of a 38-31 score.

The non-conference road loss drops CHS to 1-1 on the season, with a busy week ahead.

The young Wolves, who played three 8th graders Saturday, vie at home twice in the next six days, while hopping on the bus once.

Wednesday night they host Orcas Island, then it’s off to Friday Harbor on Friday, before a return visit to the CHS gym Saturday to square off against South Whidbey.

That night the Wolf JV will be part of the 50th anniversary of their school’s girls’ hoops program.

Saturday in Sultan, Kassie O’Neil’s squad came out sharp, jumping to an 8-3 lead at the first break.

Freshman Haylee Armstrong had the hot hand, banking in four of her game-high 15 points in the first frame, while Lexis Drake and Bryley Gilbert added buckets.

Kassie O’Neil’s hardcourt warriors play at home twice this coming week.

The second quarter didn’t go quite as well, however, as the host Turks used a 17-6 surge to snatch the lead back.

Down 20-14 at the break, the Wolves kept things close in the second half.

Capri Anter scored all five of her team’s points in the third, as CHS hung tough in a 6-5 defense-first frame, before the teams put together a 12-12 donnybrook in the finale.

Cousins accounted for 22 of Coupeville’s 31 points, with Anter popping for seven to back Armstrong’s 15.

8th grader Tenley Stuurmans rippled the nets for five, while Drake (2) and Gilbert (2) rounded out the scoring attack.

Desi Ramirez-Vasquez, Ari Cunningham, and Chelsi Stevens also saw floor time, with the latter two in that group being 8th graders who are playing up this winter.
