Special Coupeville Edition, BBB 2011-12-21 vs Bellevue Christian

Playing their second game in a row with a depleted squad, the Coupeville boys hosted the Bellevue Christian Vikings Wednesday night in front of a spirited and loud, but disappointingly small crowd.

Depleted in this case meant playing iron ball in the JV game, and in the varsity game there was only 1 sub available.

While the scores were lopsided, there were a lot of positives from both games. Both teams played tough defense, using their speed to slow down the Vikings' inside attack. The JV team had a hard time getting through the BC size, falling behind 18-0 early. The Coupeville defense tightened in the second, allowing only 7 points while the offense scored 7. The 3rd was the big quarter for Coupeville, as the Wolves scored 13 points, but it was still BC 44-20. BC played loose in the final period, scoring only 3 points, but they won the game 47-26.

Joel Walstad and Caleb Valko each scored 10 for the Wolf JV team while Aaron Trumbull scored 6.

In varsity action, the Wolves played tough early, but scored only 5 points in the second and fell behind 35-13 at the half. BC threw up 19 points in the 3rd and never looked back, taking the game 69-25. Coupeville did a good job spreading the scoring around. Nick Streubel and Taylor Ebersole each scored 8 points, Drew Chan and Gavin O'Keefe finished with 3 each, Carson Risner had 2 and Aaron Curtin 1.
