T-birds control boards to stymie Oak Harbor Pulling down 35 offensive rebounds and forcing 26 turnovers, the Shorewood High School girls basketball team flew by host Oak Harbor 81-47 Wednesday, Jan. 15. The extra opportunities from those boards and Oak Harbor mistakes enabled the Thunderbirds to hoist 85 shots and lift their Wesco record to 3-3 (9-4 overall). Shorewood finished with 51 rebounds and 24 secondchance points. They also scored 24 points off Oak Harbor’s 26 turnovers. Spurred by four points from Julie Jansen and five from Annie Leete, Oak Harbor put a bit of a scare in Shorewood when it narrowed the gap to 50-40 with 3:07 left in the third period. The Thunderbirds quickly dashed Oak Harbor’s comeback hopes with a 15-2 run, started by four Wildcat turnovers in a 63-second span that led to eight points.

Struggles continue for Coupeville boys By JIM WALLER Sports editor
The third-quarter blues have haunted the Coupeville High School boys basketball team all season; the latest verse came in a 79-52 loss to visiting Granite Falls Tuesday, Jan. 14. The Tigers (2-3, 5-6) outscored Coupeville 26-15 in the tide-turning third period and 43-21 in the second half to roll to the easy win after a tight first half. The Wolves hung around early, matching each Granite Falls push with a run of their own. The Tigers went up 7-0, then the Wolves answered to go up 8-7. Granite Falls then led 13-8 and Coupeville tied it at 15. Next, the Tigers moved ahead 26-20, and the Wolves evened the score midway through the second period. From that point, Coupeville failed to respond. Granite Falls led 36-31 at halftime, then scored the first nine points of the third quarter and was never threatened. The Tigers’ Evan West scored 10 points and KC Spencer seven in the third period to lead the breakaway. Spencer added eight in the fourth on the way to a game-
high 23 points, one more than West. Turnovers plagued Coupeville throughout, even when the Wolves were in the game in the first half.

Coupeville coach Anthony Smith said, “Give Granite credit, they took us out of our game.” The Tigers used a fullcourt press and ball-hawking half court man-to-man to harass the Wolves. “The press bothered us, but I don’t know why,” Smith said. “Everybody has to get on the same page.” “We played well in the first half,” Smith said. “The second half, for some reason, has been our nemesis.” Anthony Bergeron led Coupeville with 14 points and 13 rebounds. Morgan Payne came off the bench and provided some offensive punch with 11 points. Nick Streubel added eight points and six rebounds. Gavin O’Keefe scored seven points, Joel Walstad four and Wiley Hesselgrave two. The loss was a blow to Coupeville’s playoff hopes. The Wolves considered the
