The Coupeville High School boys basketball team will have one more chance to get its ship upright before the postseason begins.

The Wolves’ promising season started taking on water several weeks ago. Coupeville lost 68-38 at Chimacum Thursday, Feb. 4, for its fourth loss in the past five games.

All of the losses have been by at least 16 points; the only win was a comebacker to defeat a 1-18 Klahowya team by four points.

The Wolves (3-5, 8-10) finish the regular season at Klahowya at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 6.

Regardless of the outcome, Coupeville will place third in the Olympic League and begin the postseason at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 11, when it hosts the fourth-place Nisqually League team (either Bellevue Christian or Charles Wright Academy) in a loser-out, district tournament play-in game.

The Wolves won 72-65 at Chimacum Jan. 19 but were thumped twice by the Cowboys since.

Chimacum won 69-49 in Coupeville Jan. 26 and then added the 30-point win last night.

In the latest game, the second and fourth quarters were fairly even, but the first and third were all Chimacum.

The Cowboys sank a trio of three-pointers on the way to a 19-6 first-quarter lead.

Jordan Ford scored all eight of Coupeville’s points in the second period; the Cowboys had nine.

Chimacum, with 12 points from James Porter, secured the win by outscoring the Wolves 25-9 in the third quarter to take a 53-23 lead.

Both teams scored 15 points in the fourth period.

Ford ended with 14 points, Risen Johnson six, Wiley Hesselgrave five, Dante Mitchell four, Jared Helmstadter four, J.J. Johnson two, Gabe Wynn two and DeAndre Mitchell one.

Porter tallied 18 for Chimacum. Chris Bainbridge hit four three-pointers and finished with 16 points.

Chimacum (6-2, 8-11) plays at Port Townsend (7-1, 9-10) Saturday, Feb. 6, with the Olympic League title on the line.
