Hailey Hammer is on the mend.

The Coupeville High School junior post player is working towards returning to the starting lineup for the Wolf girls’ basketball squad after injuring her ankle in a game.

She went down against Mount Vernon Christian Saturday, rolling her ankle, and had to be helped off the court by Wolf coach David King and a teammate.

The good news is, that while her ankle is 10,001 shades of purple and green, it doesn’t appear to be broken.

Now she just has to keep her weight off of it, hope to heal quickly and impress the doctors when she sees them.

“I’m doing good. The crutches suck,” Hammer said. “I have a doctor’s appointment on Monday for a check up and we will go from there.”
