The benches will be full.
With 29 girls turning out for the first day of practice Tuesday — and the strong possibility more players will show up during the first week — the Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball programs look strong.
Strong enough that head coaches Bob Martin (7th grade) and Brett Smedley (8th) have received approval for an assistant coach to help out.
Martin was thrilled with the early numbers (“We’ve had a great turnout and Brett and I have seen progression”) and plans to push for the middle school players to help out their high school counterparts when the Coupeville Boys & Girls Club starts holding basketball clinics.
