Growth over scores.
While the Coupeville Middle School boys’ basketball teams were swept in three games at Sultan Thursday, Wolf coaches headed back to the bus in a positive mood.
“The amount of smiles and laughs we had before, during, and after the games is enough of a win for us coaches!” RayLynn Ratcliff said.
“These boys are working hard, they’re engaged and learning, they’re challenging themselves in every game and having fun while doing it!”
Coupeville wraps up four straight on the road with a trip to Lakewood Monday, before closing the season at home against South Whidbey Dec. 16.
How Thursday played out:
Level 1:
Diesel Eck rumbled in the paint for a team-high 13 points, while Kamden Ratcliff knocked down eight in support.
River Simpson (5), Jonathan Kappes (3), and Xander Beaman (2) also scored, with Trenton Thule, Maverick Walling, Calvin Kappes, Gracen Joiner, Darius Stewart, and Colton Ashby rounding out the roster.
Level 2:
Darius Stewart was high man for the Wolves, popping for nine points, with Aiden Wheat, Joiner, and Cyrus Sparacio each adding a bucket.
Also seeing floor time were Jacob Lujan, Mario Martinez, Ashby, Cole Van Dyke, Xander Flowers, and Jonah Meek.
Level 3:
Les Queen, who leads all CMS scorers this season with 72 points, banked in 10, with Henry Jackson rippling the nets for five, including netting a three-ball.
