It’s time to rain pain!
Facing off with a team they have already swatted once, the Coupeville High School girls’ basketball team is in prime position to snap a three-game losing skid.
Hosting Lakewood tonight (JV at 5:15, varsity at 7), it will kick off a stretch of games against teams the Wolves have beaten or come ridiculously close to knocking off.
After tonight, Coupeville travels to South Whidbey Friday, Jan. 18, then hosts Sultan Tuesday, Jan. 22.
The final six regular season games for the Wolves (5-9) pit them against three rivals they have thumped (Lakewood, South Whidbey, Granite Falls), one they let slip away (Sultan) and one who escaped only thanks to a ton of missed free throws (King’s.)
With high-scoring freshman forward Makana Stone expected back in the lineup after missing two games with the crud, Coupeville is primed to delight its fans.
A repeat of the first meeting of these two squads, when the Wolves held Lakewood to three first-half points on their way to a 40-32 win back in mid-December, would be nice. That night, it was the inside-outside wham-bam combo of Hailey Hammer (13 points) and Amanda Fabrizi (10) that sparked the win.
The only question remaining, who will be the hero tonight?
