They’re spreading out the offensive love.

Two games into an eight-game basketball season, 18 different Coupeville Middle School girls have recorded points, with a tie for the lead.

Laurel Crowder and Emma Green currently sit on top of the stat sheet, but don’t count out 6th grader Halle Black, who is starting to heat up like dad Allen did back in his high school days.

There’s still plenty of games left to play — a full 75% of the season, as it were — but here’s an early look at where things stand in the point-scoring biz:

Laurel Crowder – 12
Emma Green – 12
Halle Black – 8
Finley Helm – 6
Daisy Leedy-Bonifas – 6
Claire Lachnit – 5
Kaleigha Millison – 5
Cami Van Dyke – 5
Sophia Burley – 4
Juniper Dotson – 4
Anna Powers – 4
Annabelle Cundiff – 2
Nikolette Dunham – 2
Aubrey Flowers – 2
Reagan Green – 2
Autumn Hunt – 2
Millie Somes – 2
Bella Sandlin – 1

Busy day, productive day.

Coupeville High School grad Tate Wyman, now a junior track and field star at Oregon Tech, competed in three events Saturday at the EOU Last Chance Meet hosted by Eastern Oregon University in La Grande.

The former Wolf ace pulled in plenty of points for the Hustlin’ Owls, earning 3rd place finishes in both the long jump and 60-meter hurdles.

Wyman soared 21 feet, 00.75 inches in the former and hit the tape in 8.79 seconds in the latter, setting a PR while clearing the obstacles.

He also clocked a 7.48 in the 60-meter sprint, as well.

Ayden and Devon’s big bro studies embedded systems engineering technology at Oregon Tech when he’s not busy down at the track facilities.

Their time at the Tacoma Dome has reached its end.

Coupeville High School wrestlers Deven Ogden and Marquette Cunningham both lost in early Saturday morning matches, marking the end of their runs at Mat Classic XXXVII.

The Wolf duo, who trained, traveled, and competed with South Whidbey during the regular season as CHS doesn’t have its own mat program, both went 1-2 across two days at the state meet.

Cunningham, competing at 132 pounds, fell 7-0 to Owen McAuliffe of Liberty Bell Saturday, after splitting his matches Friday.

He toppled Diego Gutierrez of Columbia (Burbank) 10-2, before losing 15-0 to Trevin Stauffer of Jenkins (Chewelah) in the tournament’s opening session.

Meanwhile, Ogden, who wrestles at 165 pounds, was on the losing end of a 14-1 score Saturday while squaring off with Trenton Mulvaney of Highland.

In his opening bouts, he drilled Guztavo Cortez of Tonasket 20-4, before coming up just short in a 7-0 rumble with Thorne Tissue of Liberty (Spangle).

The “Lone Wolves” have reached the final weekend.

While Coupeville High School doesn’t have swim or wrestling programs of its own, several students have spent the winter training, traveling, and competing with other schools.

Having broken free for the postseason, splasher Finn Price and grapplers Marquette Cunningham and Deven Ogden all qualified for the state championships, which sent them on one more trip.

Price tapped the wall for the final time in a CHS uniform Friday, capping his third trip to state in four years with an appearance in the 50 free prelims.

The Wolf senior, competing in Seattle with swimmers from 2A and 1A schools while repping a 2B institution, finished 22nd with a time of 24.63 seconds.

After a stellar run as a prep athlete, Price is slated to compete for Whitman College, a top-level NCAA D-III program, beginning next school year.

Marquette Cunningham

Meanwhile, Cunningham and Ogden hit the mat at the crack of dawn Friday in Tacoma, taking part in day one of the two-day Mat Classic XXXVII.

Both Wolves won their opening matches, absorbed losses in their second bouts, and return Saturday to continue their big city adventures.

Cunningham, who is seeded #6 in the 132-pound class, beat Diego Gutierrez of Columbia (Burbank) 10-2, before falling 15-0 to Trevin Stauffer of Jenkins (Chewelah) his second time on the mat.

He’s scheduled to square off with Owen McAuliffe of Liberty Bell Saturday morning.

Ogden, the #4 seed at 165 pounds, thumped Guztavo Cortez of Tonasket 20-4, then came up short in a 7-0 bout with Thorne Tissue of Liberty (Spangle).

Awaiting him Saturday is Trenton Mulvaney of Highland.
