Poor weather, strong performances

It wasn’t perfect, but it’ll do.

Coming off a string of first-place team performances, the Coupeville High School track and field squad coasted into spring break with a decent, if not spectacular outing Thursday afternoon.

Competing against 10 other teams in Mount Vernon, the Wolves claimed five wins and 40 PRs en route to finishing second in the boys’ team battle, and third in the girl’s rumble.

Host Mount Vernon Christian claimed both titles, edging the CHS boys 139-133.5 and romping past La Conner 156-105.5 on the girl’s side.

The Wolf female crew finished with 93 points.

Coupeville did sweep the pole vault trophies during one of the “colder, wetter meets” veteran CHS coach Bob Martin has experienced.

Getting warmer the higher in the air they sailed, Carly Burt and Cael Wilson soared over the bar in style.

Other wins came from Nick Guay (High Jump), Carson Field (1600) and the boys 4 x 100 relay unit.

That foursome was comprised of Marquette Cunningham, Wilson, Preston Epp, and Guay.

Surviving and thriving in the less-than-stellar weather, the Wolves held up well.

“Despite facing adverse conditions, they did amazing!” Martin said. “Their resilience and adaptability are commendable.

“We saw a lot of great performances today with many athletes setting new PR’s and selflessly participating in events outside of their comfort zone.”

Coupeville, which reached the halfway point of the regular season Thursday, is now off until April 13, when it travels to Forks for the Lions Club Invitational.

“It’s an exciting start!”

“Our team did great today!”

From unexpectedly nice weather to athletes performing in mid-season form, Wednesday was pleasant for Coupeville High School track and field coaches.

Competing in a season-opening 10-school meet at La Conner, the Wolves swept both girls and boys team titles.

Fueled by seven wins and an astonishing 87 PR’s, Coupeville was dominant all day.

“Thanks to our unique blend of young and seasoned athletes, we achieved early personal records, fantastic weather, and even clinched a team victory!” said CHS coach Bob Martin.

“It’s an exciting start that promises more successes ahead!”

Junior Lyla Stuurmans paced the Wolves with a pair of victories, sweeping to first in both the 1600 and 3200.

Meanwhile, Marquette Cunningham and Nick Guay came up huge, both winning an individual event while also running a leg on a pair of triumphant relay teams.

The former won the triple jump, while the latter claimed the high jump crown, joining discus chucker Zac Tackett in the winner’s circle.

Preston Epp also ran a leg on both winning relay units, with Hank Milnes (4 x 400) and Cael Wilson (4 x 100) chipping in as well.

The Wolf boys cruised to the team win, finishing with 155.5 points, with Mount Vernon Christian (128), La Conner (79), and Friday Harbor (76.5) rounding out the top four.

On the girls’ side, it was all-out war, with Coupeville (113) nudging past La Conner (110) and MVC (110) at the very last second to claim the title. Lopez Island was fourth with 73 points.

The Wolves get right back at it Saturday, when they compete at the Rainier Icebreaker.

The Wolves fill up the gym.

Pop your shot, record the stat

Push for the big 3-0-0-0.

As Coupeville High School basketball teams head into a new week — with three of four teams slated to play their final game Tuesday at La Conner — the Wolves have amassed 2,960 points among them.

Leading the way are the varsity boys, who are the one squad headed to the postseason.

Senior Logan Downes, even hobbled by a recent leg injury, has racked up 435 points and counting.

That gives him two of the top five individual seasons in program history, as he tallied 554 points as a junior.

Also in that top five? School record holder Jeff Stone (644), Jeff Rhubottom (459), and Pete Petrov (442).

Which means only 25 points separates Downes from having two of the top three individual campaigns for a CHS boy over the last 107 seasons.

Balanced Wolves savage Lions

“We’d love it if every game was like this.”

The Coupeville High School boys’ basketball coaching staff was in a righteous mood Tuesday, basking in the afterglow of a 66-30 win over visiting Concrete.

It wasn’t just the win, which lifts the Wolves to 5-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 12-4 overall, but how the win was accomplished.

CHS put three guys into double digit scoring — including a career-best performance from bearded banger Zane Oldenstadt — got points from nine players and gave floor time to 13.

That should leave the Wolf starters fresh as they kick off a three-games-in-five-days stretch, while giving the role players a chance to earn big cheers from their home fans.

So, exactly the kind of game you want coming off a fairly lackluster performance Saturday against Neah Bay in a rare loss.

This time around, the Wolves hit the floor with purpose and passion, sharing the ball, making the small plays, and never once taking their collective foot off the gas pedal.

Concrete’s one and only lead came at 3-2 extremely early in the first quarter, and then it was fun times under the bright lights for the run-and-gun Wolves.

Chase Anderson drilled a short jumper to put CHS ahead for good, then snatched a rebound and fed Logan Downes for a three-ball and the rout was on.

Another trey, this one flying off the fingertips of Ryan Blouin, staked the Wolves to a 15-8 lead at the first break.

From there, Coupeville steadily stretched the advantage, with first Anderson, then Hunter Bronec, reeling off three straight buckets.

Five different Wolves scored in the second frame, with Oldenstadt converting putbacks and Downes outsprinting the defense on breakaways, as CHS pushed things out to 36-17 at the half.

Cole White stepped up to showcase the hot hand in the third, with the final one of his three baskets in the frame coming on a wild play.

A ballet of destruction, playing out precisely in favor of the Wolves, it began with Nick Guay bounding airborne to punch the ball half the length of the floor, before Anderson chased down the errant orb a half-inch away from stepping on the end line.

Flicking the ball back to White, he watched in fascination as his older teammate stopped on a dime, throwing the shot down in one smooth motion as Lion defenders skidded past, silent screams etched on their faces.

Things got really brutal for Concrete in the fourth, as they discovered a painful secret.

Once unleashed, you can’t put Oldenstadt back in the bottle.

Like a genie granting all the wishes — even the one for more wishes — the burly Wolf senior ripped off eight straight points to cap the greatest offensive display of his career.

Known for his rebounding, love of planting fools on their butt while patrolling the paint, and willingness to wear a hollowed-out pumpkin on his head at Halloween, Oldenstadt finished with a hyped-up 12 points.

This, after scoring 13 points total across the first 15 games.

It brought a big smile to CHS coach Brad Sherman’s face as he scanned the scorebook, while Oldenstadt’s faithful fans chanted “More playing time! More playing time!!”

Downes led the Wolves with 15, and on the night when he was honored for becoming the #1 scorer in CHS boys’ basketball 107-year history this past weekend, he passed yet another milestone.

With 1,165 points and counting, he slips past Makana Stone (1,158) to become #3 all-time at the school regardless of gender.

Next up? Novi Barron (1,270), then Brianne King (1,549).

Anderson slapped home 14 to slide in between Downes and Oldenstadt, while White (8), Hunter Bronec (7), Blouin (5), Aiden O’Neill (2), Mikey Robinett (2), and Guay (1) also scored.

William Davidson, Timothy Nitta, Quinten Simpson-Pilgrim, and Hurlee Bronec also saw floor time for the Wolves, who host South Whidbey Wednesday before traveling to Puyallup Saturday to play Chief Leschi.

 

No JV action:

Coupeville’s red-hot ‘n rollin’ second unit had the night off Tuesday, as the Lions don’t have a JV boys’ team this season.

The Wolf young guns, sitting at 10-2 on the season, return to action Wednesday with a home game against South Whidbey.
