Wiley Hesselgrave can’t hardly wait.
The Coupeville High School freshman is two sports into his run as a Wolf, and he’s already made an impact in both. One of just two 9th graders to letter in football (with Lathom Kelley), Hesselgrave has been a leader for the boys’ JV basketball squad, relentlessly attacking the basket while moving like a barely-caged animal.
Friday night the younger brother of former Wolf star Marie Hesselgrave got his first chance to taste the rarefied air of varsity basketball, playing a huge chunk of the second half against visiting Archbishop Thomas Murphy.
True to his nature, he was everywhere, stealing a rebound away from a Wildcat player, helping run the offense and coming really close to netting his first basket. Playing along side fellow JV transplants Joel Walstad and Morgan Payne, the trio showed the future of Wolf basketball is not only on its way, it’s already here.
