How well do you know your basketball shoes?

Spend enough time at Coupeville High School basketball games this winter and you will notice a variety of colors squeaking along on the hardwood. Pink, red, blue, black, white, the whole color spectrum is on display.

What does it all mean?

I’ll be danged if I know. Maybe each color has something to do with the personality of the player, some deep hidden meaning. Or, maybe a shoe is just a shoe.

But let’s see how well you know your basketball shoes, at least as they pertain to the Wolves.

Look up above and try to guess which player goes with which shoes. And no peeking at the answers first!

And while you’re debating, the first three photos are by John Fisken. The fourth, which shows Coach V about to lace up a pair of shoes for a player, was shot by Shelli Trumbull.

OK, the answers:

A) Breeanna Messner

B) Amanda Fabrizi

C) Lauren Escalle

D) It doesn’t really matter. Virtually every single boys’ basketball player wears black shoes. Fashion has not reached the boys game yet, apparently.
