Miles Davidson was tabbed as his team’s Tulip Tourney MVP.
Hawthorne Wolfe was a key player all tourney.
“They showed the ability to beat every team they played.”
That was the assessment of veteran hoops coach Pat Kelley after he watched a plucky Coupeville 6th grade SWISH boys’ basketball squad, playing in its first tournament as a full unit, put up a strong effort this weekend against top-level competition.
While the Wolves, playing under the guidance of Nathan Barton and Ben Olson, finished 1-4 at the Tulip Tournament, they were in every game until the final stretch.
After knocking off Meridian Friday, Coupeville fell to Sedro-Woolley (27-15) and Everett AAU (33-20) Saturday, then were nipped Sunday by Meridian (40-29) and Everett (27-23).
Achieving a team goal, all eight Wolves on the roster scored in the tourney, with Caleb Meyer leading the way with 33.
Point guard and team captain Connor Barton, who topped Coupeville in assists and steals, was tabbed as the season MVP for “his leadership and elevating his entire team’s play.”
Rounding out the honorees, newcomer Miles Davidson was tabbed as the team’s tourney MVP.
