   Do not trifle with Sarah Wright (33) when she has her hands on a rebound. It will not end well for you.

Wherever there is a hoop, there will be a Wolf.

It may be the off-season, but Coupeville High School’s basketball players are busy criss-crossing the state (and the country) in pursuit of sharpening their hoops skills.

Fresh off a team camp, four Wolf girls paired off and hit the hard court for more action.

Freshmen Lindsey Roberts and Sarah Wright went to a camp at Western Washington University, while senior Makana Stone and junior Kailey Kellner are busy with a select squad based out of Everett.

For the fab frosh, who hope to make an immediate splash with the defending 1A Olympic League champion CHS girls’ basketball squad, the camp was a big push in the right direction.

“They worked on individual skills, along with playing many games,” said CHS coach David King. “It’s always great to see players get the extra time at camps during the off-season.

“Having freshman dedicated and wanting to put in the work to get better is great,” he added. “Hopefully we can build on that and if it works out next summer have more players attend as well.”

It was Roberts second trip to the camp, while the ever-busy Wright carved out some time to make her camp debut.

Stone, last year’s Olympic League MVP, and Kellner, who revived memories of Larry Bird with her long-range sniping, have been bouncing all across the USA with their seven-player select team.

After hitting a tourney in Oregon, they went on to Chicago for another, and are currently in Las Vegas.

King and wife/assistant coach/photographer Amy are on vacation in Vegas, which gave them a chance to watch their star players in action as they pulled away in the second half for a win Friday.

“Getting that exposure with playing against teams and players that are just as talented and athletic is outstanding,” King said. “It would be great for more players to jump on the select teams in the future to get more basketball during the off-season.”
