Tuesday night is the last dance.
The final time six Coupeville High School seniors will pull on the red and black and play basketball in front of a home crowd. The final time the PA announcer will intone “a 5-foot-9 senior post, number 42, Beeesssieee Walllllllllllstaaaaaaadddddddd.”
There will be games after tomorrow night. The final regular season game at King’s Friday, Feb. 1, then at least two (and hopefully more) playoff games on the road starting the following week.
But that’s the kicker. After Tuesday’s rumble with Granite Falls (JV 5:15, varsity 7), the Wolves will hit the road for the rest of their season, whether it be a handful of games or Coupeville hits a hot streak and rides it all the way to the state title game.
You either transport your buns down to the CHS gymnasium, or you’ll never see the Scintillating Six play hoops as a unit again.
No more Bessie Walstad.
No more Lauren Escalle.
No more Haley Marx.
No more Rhiannon Ellsworth.
No more Jai’Lysa Hoskins.
No more Katie Kiel.
Would you really want to live with yourself if you skipped that opportunity? Yeah, I thought not!
