They’ve been waiting, but not just sitting around.

With a 10-day gap between their final regular season contest and their postseason opener (6 PM Tuesday vs. Seattle Christian at Bellarmine Prep), the Coupeville High School girls’ hoops players have been busy fine-tuning their games.

Wolf round-ball guru David King swings by the Coaches Corner to check in the day before his 15-4 squad kicks back into action.

The playoffs are upon us.

We’ve had a week to prepare for our first round opponent. We have one more practice before the game on Tuesday.

Every player from top to bottom has to bring their best effort to practice and carry this over to the game.

Since the first day of practice we have stressed to every player that they have an opportunity to earn their playing time.

That’s done by attitude, effort, teamwork and skill-set along with dedication and team goals over personal goals.

We have continued to emphasis these things once the regular season games finished.

The great thing is some players are taking advantage of the opportunities put in front of them. This helps their individual game and pushes their teammates to raise their level of play.

The work the players have put in all season have led us to the spot we are at right now.

I couldn’t be happier with how much this team has accomplished up to now and how much more we can do.

This week is going to be a fun and exciting ride!
