Can’t touch ’em.

At least not so far, as the 7th grade Coupeville SWISH boys’ basketball squad rolled to another win Saturday, crushing Lake Stevens 39-26 in La Conner.

The victory lifted the Wolves to a flawless 4-0 heading into a doubleheader in Mt. Vernon Feb. 13.

Coupeville spread the offensive love around, with nine of its 11 players scoring, led by Jake Mitten, who worked the paint for a game-high 11.

Matthew Kelley and Dakota Eck each added six, while Connor Barton knocked down five.

Alex Jimenez (4), Caleb Meyer (2), Hawthorne Wolfe (2), Logan Martin (2) and Daniel Olson (1) also scored.

“The boys played well today,” said Coupeville coach Pat Kelley.

The Wolves, who are actually a mix of sixth and seventh graders, wove the two together successfully, while also taking an opportunity to have some of their younger players share the court at the same time.

“The starting sixth grade five of Barton, Meyer, Wolfe, Martin, and Daniel Barajas played nearly nearly seven minutes as a group vs seventh graders and did well,” Pat Kelley said. “Four of them scored during their independent time together.”

Martin knocked down “a nice eight-foot turn-around jump shot playing post” and Barton “made a steal for a layup going full court and made three of his four free throws.”

Lake Stevens cut the lead to five midway through the third before Coupeville slammed the door shut.

The Wolves were especially pesky on defense, where Matthew snagged 11 boards and made off with five steals to lead the charge.

Mitten and Olson both corralled five rebounds, Eck, Barton and Barajas pilfered two steals apiece and Michael Laska forced two jump balls.

It is the coach’s lot in life to see greatness, and know there can be more.

So, even though the Coupeville High School girls’ basketball squad thrashed host Chimacum 55-28 Tuesday, David King could appreciate the win, but still hope for improvement.

Especially when the Wolves (9-3 overall, 3-0 in 1A Olympic League play) have to immediately hit the road again in less than 24 hours to play a non-conference game.

That opponent? Bellevue Christian, which sits at 12-1.

“Tomorrow is going to be a test for us,” King said. “To compete with them our defense will have to be better than tonight and we will have to be efficient on offense.”

Facing off with a Cowboy squad that was missing two top players, the Wolves were able to run wild, even when they might not have seemed to be clicking on all cylinders.

Having sat for nine days, and smack-dab in the middle of Finals week, King’s players “came out slow to start the game.”

Not that the scoreboard reflected that, as the Wolves roared out to a 15-4 bulge after one quarter, then stretched that to 29-11 at the half and 43-15 after three quarters.

Coupeville has never lost a varsity girls game in the short history of their current league, and the Wolves seem intent on repeating last year’s flawless 9-0 mark.

Senior Makana Stone, the defending league MVP, continued her torrid pace, throwing down 18 of her game-high 22 in the first half.

The rest of her stat sheet?

17 boards, five steals, four assists, a block and one more opponent that weeps at the sight of her taking the court.

Stone had plenty of help, with all nine Wolves who were healthy enough to play (Lauren Rose was ill and left home) getting their names in the scoring column.

The third quarter was the most well-rounded of the night, with six different CHS players scoring.

Sweet-shooting gunner Kailey Kellner worked the nets for 11, while Mia Littlejohn banged home seven and Lauren Grove and Skyler Lawrence added four apiece.

They were the first varsity points for the always hard-working Lawrence.

Tiffany Briscoe (2), Kyla Briscoe (2), Allison Wenzel (2) and Lindsey Roberts (1) rounded out the scoring attack.

The Wolves hit the boards hard, and, when Stone didn’t snag the carom, Tiffany Briscoe collected seven, while Roberts ripped down six.

Kellner had three steals while Littlejohn handed out three assists.

“I am very, very proud of them!!”

The Wolves celebrate, something they did often this season.

Call ’em the mini champs.

Completing a flawless run through 1A Olympic League play, the Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad capped a stellar season with one final win Monday night.

Bouncing host Klahowya 25-13 (the call of the ferry prevented any more action), the Wolves won their fourth straight and fifth in their final six matches.

Coupeville’s young guns finished 7-4 (most wins by any CHS sports program this fall) and a perfect 4-0 in league action.

Playing second Monday, the Wolves had to wait for an epic varsity match to unspool before they hit the court. Once they did, they made quick work of the Eagles.

“The JV had their foot on the gas the entire game, barely giving Klahowya time to breathe,” said Coupeville coach Heidi Wyman.

The Wolves combined to serve at a 93% rate, missing just two serves, while delivering four service aces and seven kills.

“I can’t give you a player of the game because each and every player on this team deserves that spotlight,” Wyman said.

Over the course of the season Coupeville got strong work from all 10 players on its roster (sophomores Kayla Rose, Allison Wenzel, Abby Parker, Kenzi LaRue, Kameryn St Onge and Maggie Crimmins and freshmen Ashley Menges, Nicole Lester, Sarah Wright and Maddy Hilkey), several of whom should be in contention to move up to varsity next season.

“They improved every match this season,” Wyman said. “More importantly they learned how to play for each other, selflessly working collectively towards their goals.

“I am very, very proud of them and feel honored to have had the chance to serve this team and this school.”

Best in the school!!

Keeping its hot streak alive, the most successful fall sports team at Coupeville High School rolled to another win Thursday night.

By the time they were done, the Wolf JV spikers had shredded visiting Chimacum 25-11, 25-11, 25-17, capturing their third straight victory and school-best sixth of the season.

Now 6-4 overall, 3-0 in 1A Olympic League play, the young guns currently have one more win than the CHS varsity girls’ soccer and boys’ tennis teams.

And they’ve done it despite being shafted a bit by the whims of fate.

With Port Townsend unable to field a JV squad this year, Coupeville’s second team will end up playing three less matches than their varsity counterparts.

The Wolves will close the JV season Monday, Oct. 26 on the road at Klahowya.

Beat the Eagles for a second time, and Coupeville will wrap an undefeated league season and claim a (mythical) league title.

Like last year’s JV girls’ basketball squad, which went 9-0 in league play, the “title” will get them no championship banner, but it bodes extremely well for the future of the Wolves’ varsity program.

Completing a three-match season sweep of the Cowboys (they beat them twice in league play and once in a “non-conference” match), the Wolves played with precision and a cold fury in their home finale.

Coupeville rained down 22 service aces and 26 kills, while notching two milestones.

The Wolves compiled a 1.94 passing average, which coach Heidi Wyman hailed as “the team’s highest of the season” and Kayla Rose converted her first-ever match point on serve.

Nicole Lester claimed player of the match honors, filling the stat sheet with five aces, two kills, a 2.33 passing average and much praise from her proud coach.

Coupeville spread out its offense, with Allison Wenzel collecting six kills, while Sarah Wright (five), Ashley Menges (four) and Maddy Hilkey (two) all chipped in.

Menges doled out a team-high 16 assists, while Wright pounded home 10 service aces.

Kenzi LaRue, Maggie Crimmins, Kameryn St Onge and Abby Parker round out the roster of the best team CHS has to offer this fall.

Bring ’em home!!

I took a photo of a 25-year-old photo. I got skills.

Let’s throw a party.

The greatest football team in Coupeville High School history, the undefeated 1990 squad, hits a magical milestone this year.

It will be 25 years since that Wolf squad, led by the precision passing of Jason McFadyen and an unstoppable running attack, went 9-0, outscoring its opponents 258-107.

While they fell to Rainier in a home state quarterfinal playoff game played on a windswept Mickey Clark Field Nov. 10, 1990, they remain the gold standard.

No Wolf team has come close to that win total since then, and that trip to the state playoffs, the fourth in school history, was also the last one a CHS gridiron squad has earned.

Which is why we need to take a moment this season and acknowledge that squad.

And, in a moment of perfect symmetry, I have the ideal time.

Coupeville plays four home games this coming season, all in October.

The first three are 1A Olympic League contests (Oct. 2 against Port Townsend, Oct. 9 against Klahowya and Homecoming Oct. 16 against Chimacum).

The regular-season finale, though, on Friday, Oct. 30 is a non-conference affair against Concrete.

Which would be the perfect game to honor the ’90 squad, since back then Concrete was a fellow Northwest B League opponent, and the Wolves beat Concrete 10-0 in the season’s biggest win.

Frank Marti capped a 122-yard rushing performance with a one-yard touchdown plunge in the fourth quarter, then Brad Haslam dropped the punctuation mark with a 34-yard field goal.

Wins over Darrington, Orcas Island and La Conner would cap the regular season, but win #6, coming over the power team in the league, was the one that shocked the world.

So, we need to make this happen.

Whether it’s the Coupeville Booster Club, school officials, current football coaches, the players on that team, or us, the fans, we have three months to make this a reality.

At halftime on Oct. 30, the ’90 squad should come back to claim the Cow Town field.

So, here, from that playoff roster, are the guys we’re looking to find.

If you know them, if you are them, spread the word. We’re gonna make this happen.
