Now we see who wants it most.
The first day of high school basketball kicked off Monday, and when the Coupeville girls’ hoops squad hit the floor, they opened what should be an intriguing season.
The Wolves are the defending 1A Olympic League champs (both the varsity and JV went 9-0 last year), but only return three varsity vets in Makana Stone, Mia Littlejohn and Kailey Kellner.
Stone was a slam-dunk league MVP as a junior, when her 367 points in 22 games was the sixth-best single season performance in program history.
But, after the top three, it’s a wide open battle for positions, as the cream of last year’s JV squad faces off with a talented pack of freshmen.
Toss in a couple of complete newcomers, and every practice will count as Wolf coaches David and Amy King figure out their roster.
As the Wolves stretched and ran, and then stretched and ran some more, travelin’ photo man John Fisken came in from the stormy weather outside and clicked away, snagging us the pics that reside above.
