Coupeville Sports

Believe.

Bellevue Christian and Charles Wright Academy fell Friday.

Three more teams will go down in the early games today.

When Coupeville steps on the floor at Wenatchee High School to face Cashmere this afternoon (4 PM tip), they will be one of the final 11 girls’ teams still dreaming of a 1A state title.

There’s a little movie called “Hoosiers,” the greatest sports movie ever made.

It hit theaters in limited release on Nov. 14, 1986, but its wide release wasn’t until, and you can not make this stuff up … Feb. 27, 1987.

29 years ago to the day.

As the Wolves ride the bus to Wenatchee, the David to Cashmere’s Goliath, remember the words of coach Norman Dale:

“If you put your effort and concentration into playing to your potential, to be the best that you can be, I don’t care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, in my book we’re gonna be winners.”
