Mad Dog and Hammer Time do work, as Madeline Strasburg makes it rain while Hailey Hammer prepares to control the paint by any means necessary.
Being awesome is thirsty work, so Amanda Fabrizi (far right) stays hydrated.
You have to beat the best to be the best.
If that’s true, the Coupeville High School girls’ basketball team is about to get a great chance to blow up the standings in the Cascade Conference.
Returning from Christmas break and still basking in the glow of a come-from-behind thriller over Orcas Island 10 days ago, the Wolves (4-5 overall, 2-2 in league play) play three of their next four games at home. Those games just happen to pit them against the three best teams in the league.
Things kick off Wednesday, Jan. 2 with a visit from league leader Archbishop Thomas Murphy (7-2, 4-0). JV action tips off at 5:15 PM, varsity at 7.
Then, after a road game at Granite Falls (1-9, 0-4) Friday, Jan. 4, Coupeville returns home for games Tuesday, Jan. 8 against King’s (6-4, 3-1) and Friday, Jan. 11 versus Cedarcrest (8-2, 3-1).
It’s the first meeting of the season with ATM and King’s and the final match-up with Cedarcrest, which battered the Wolves in their first meeting. Coupeville has rebounded to win three of five after that loss, however.
And while they face an uphill battle, the Wolves can look to the words of one of their hardest-working players, guard Amanda Fabrizi, who recently posted on Facebook, “If you can dream it, you can find a way to do it.”
Dream big, Wolf Nation.
