Coupeville Sports

Fall sports are not quite done yet, but basketball is lurking just around the corner.

Roundball action returns Monday, Nov. 16, when Coupeville High School coaches David King, Amy King, Anthony Smith and Dustin Van Velkinburgh welcome players to the first day of practice.

If the current schedules hold, the Wolf boys will kick off the season two weeks later with a road game on Nov. 30, and the first home hoops action will come in the form of a doubleheader against South Whidbey Dec. 2.

Wolf fans are currently scheduled to get five 2-for-1 deals, with home doubleheaders against South Whidbey, Orcas Island, La Conner, Mount Vernon Christian and Chimacum.

As always, high school sports schedules are almost constantly in flux. Especially before we actually get to the season.
