Like father, like daughter.
Sparked by the offspring of two Coupeville High School basketball coaches, a group of sixth grade girls swept to an undefeated record and a championship at a tourney in Arlington this weekend.
The four-player squad rolled through the 3-on-3 tourney like pros and left their papas with huge grins.
“Loving some summer hoops and watching my little one grow,” said CHS boys’ JV hoops coach Dustin Van Velkinburgh. “Very proud of this group of girls and the way they battled.”
Dustin’s daughter Kylie, who will be moving up to Coupeville Middle School in a few weeks, was joined by Malaysia Smith, Kayleigh Bungard and Kaci French.
Those three are from Ferndale, with Malaysia being the daughter of Wolf boys’ varsity coach Anthony Smith.
