Coupeville Sports

The shock of losing South Whidbey High School boys’ basketball coach Henry Pope is still being felt across the Island.

But a group is stepping up to help raise funds for the family he left behind, and area basketball players and fans can help support the cause by taking part in a 5-on-5 hoops tournament on what would have been his birthday.

“Hoops for Henry” will tip-off 11 AM Sunday, Sept. 15 in the SWHS gym where Pope led his Falcons onto the floor.

The tourney is open to male and female players age 13 and up. Teams need to be registered by Sept. 13 and cost is $100 per team.

The pertinent info can be found above in the second photo.

To register, donate items or sponsor the tourney, call Teri Baker at (360) 632-7881.
