Monday was the ladies turn.
Two days after the Tom Roehl Roundball Classic brought a collection of former CHS male hoops stars back to the court they once ruled, the Wolf girls welcomed home their own alumni.
Six former Coupeville standouts — Brittany Black, Courtney Arnold, Breeanna Messner, Kacie Kiel, Hailey Hammer and Amanda Fabrizi — returned to scrimmage against this year’s varsity.
The brainchild of CHS girls’ hoops coaches David and Amy King, the match-up of new school and (semi) old school was a rousing success.
“The scrimmage went really well,” David King said. “Bodies flying everywhere, laughs, the enjoyment of playing basketball and respect from both sides.”
With winter break having limited them to just one game in the last 17 days, the Wolf girls (5-2 this season) were champing at the bit for some on-court action.
And they got it, with 9 of their 10 varsity players getting a chance to play against the alumni.
Tiffany Briscoe, Lauren Rose, Mia Littlejohn, Kailey Kellner, Kyla Briscoe, Makana Stone, Allison Wenzel, Lauren Grove and Lindsey Roberts all were on hand, while Skyler Lawrence was unable to attend.
“It was great for Amy and me to see and have the older players in and seeing them play again,” David King said. “And as a coach it was great to see this current team take on the challenge of showing how good they can be for the rest of our season.
“The final score doesn’t matter,” he added. “It’s the time spent together that makes everyone a winner!”
