Sarah Wright is a bit perturbed. “Will someone make this fool let go of my basketball? I don’t like people touching MY basketball!!” (John Fisken photos)
“Get out your umbrella, cause I’m gonna make it rain!!”
“Block my shot? Not a chance, sister!!”
And the crowd (led by irrepressible future Wolf star Mollie Bailey, top left in red) goes wild.
Having left her defender sprawled on the floor, a young Wolf heads for the basket.
Kalia Littlejohn threads the needle.
Raise your hands if you’re sure Coupeville is better than Granite Falls.
“The next sound you’ll hear is the ball hitting the bottom of the net, baby!!”
And we’re officially tipped off.
The Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball squads made their regular-season debut at home Tuesday, battling Granite Falls and being captured on film by roving photographer John Fisken.
In the night’s premier showdown, the Wolf 8th grade varsity came within a missed half-court shot at the buzzer of upending the Tigers.
Battling back from a double-digit deficit, Coupeville, which was playing without vacationing shooting star Lindsey Roberts, got scoring from four players.
Sarah Wright banged home 10 to pace the Wolves, while Kalia Littlejohn (8), Ashlie Shank (4) and Ema Smith (3) all chipped in.
