They’re riding a wave of euphoria.

Coming off of back-to-back wins over Seattle Academy and Friday Harbor, both schools which made it to state last year, the CHS girls basketball squad is flying high.

Now the Wolves plunge into 1A Olympic League play against Chimacum and Klahowya this coming week, trying to keep Coupeville’s 18-game undefeated streak in conference play alive.

As he prepares, Wolf round-ball guru David King found a few moments to take up residence in the Coaches Corner.

His thoughts:

Defensively when we are active and communicating we can be very disruptive.

We like what we are seeing; however, we are still a work in progress.

This shows in some lapses throughout the first three games.

We are also fouling too much instead of getting in good defensive position.

Offensively we aren’t quite on the same level as our defense.

Heading into our first league games this season we have to tighten things up and reduce our turnovers. Most of these are self-inflicted.

Our intangibles are up and down.

We have had one outstanding rebounding game.

Because of the defensive effort we have impressed in getting steals.

I would like to see us sharing the ball more offensively, but I’ve seen glimpses of some very good stuff. As a team, we are doing a good job of being on the same page.

This upcoming week will be a good test for us.

We need to keep doing the things we are doing well and improve in the areas that have gotten us in trouble over the first three games.
