One win was significant and the other thrilling as the Coupeville High School girls basketball team swept a pair of games over the weekend.

In their first-ever Olympic League game, the Wolves ripped Klahowya 48-33 in Silverdale Friday, Dec. 12.

Then Coupeville scored the game’s final 12 points to defeat Sequim 42-39 in overtime Saturday.

The Wolves (1-0, 4-2) added two games to their schedule, including their next, 5 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 17, at home with Friday Harbor. The other new game is 6 p.m. Monday, Dec. 29, against visiting Vashon Island.

In the win over Klahowya, Makana Stone scored six points in the first quarter to help the Wolves go ahead 13-7.

Coupeville built its lead to 10, 26-16, behind Stone (five points) and Julia Myers (four points) in the second period, but the Eagles sliced the gap to 26-21 at halftime.

Although the Wolves haven’t practiced a 3-2 zone since last year, coach David King switched to the defense in the third quarter and Wolves “came out and executed it very well.”

Coupeville outscored the Eagles 9-3 in the period to go up 35-24.

Five different Wolves scored in the fourth quarter as the Wolves pulled away.

“It wasn’t our best game on the season, but we fought through sluggish play,” King said. Several players competed although they didn’t feel well, he said.

One of those was Stone, who still managed to put up 20 points and 10 rebounds.

Coupeville was hurt by 19 turnovers but did collect 35 rebounds.

On offense, “the execution was there again,” King said. “We just couldn’t sustain it for the whole game.”

The Wolves did, however, get help throughout the lineup, with eight of the nine players scoring.

King liked the individual efforts of several players.

Kiel swished a 15-footer at the end of a “perfectly executed play”; Monica Vidoni scored “on a great post up” on a “great entry pass” from Wynter Thorne; Mia Littlejohn, who has been working on her shooting form, drilled a jumper; and Myers scored on a “sweat drive.”

Myers has “elevated” her game, King said.

“This season’s version of Julia is a more confident player, and it’s showing.”

Myers followed Stone in scoring with nine points. Kiel had eight, Hailey Hammer four, Littlejohn three, McKenzie Bailey two and Vidoni two.

Hammer gathered seven rebounds, and Myers, Littlejohn and Vidoni four each.

Kiel recorded five assists.

Against Sequim, Coupeville scored 31 points over the first 31 minutes, then eight in the final 64 seconds.

Kiel nailed a three-pointer with 10 seconds left to send the game into overtime.

Kiel started the 8-0 run with a free throw and an assist on a Thorne bucket.

Stone made it 39-36 with 35 seconds left after a Sequim turnover. Sequim missed a free throw, but Coupeville turned the ball over.

Sequim returned the favor, setting up Kiel’s big three.

In overtime, Thorne scored off a Stone assist and Kiel hit a free throw.

Sequim failed to score in the final five minutes and had five turnovers in its last six possessions.

Stone posted another double-double, registering 16 points and 14 rebounds. She also had five assists and two blocks.

Kiel scored 12 points, 10 after the third quarter, and dished three assists.

Vidoni had six points, Myers four, Thorne two and Hammer two.

Sequim, now 3-2, entered the game with the Olympic League’s best record among 2A girls teams.
