Two key members of the Coupeville High School basketball community will be honored Friday, as the Wolf hoops squads host Coaches vs. Cancer games.
CHS is set to play Sultan, with games at 5:00 and 6:45.
The Wolves will pay tribute to Bennett Boyles and June Mazdra, while the Turks will also have an honoree.
Donations will be accepted at the game, as well as online, with proceeds from the night going to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Boyles is a member of the CHS Class of 2022 who lost a courageous battle at age 12 with Glioblastoma Multiforme, a form of brain cancer.
He played basketball alongside many of the current Wolf players on SWISH teams, and a seat will be left open on the Coupeville boys bench for him.
Mazdra, when she’s not doing her day job as a custodian at Coupeville Middle School, is the woman with the magic pencil.
She keeps the most beautifully written, precise basketball scorebooks in the biz, and has done so for decades, beginning when she was still a student at CHS.
Diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, Mazdra continues to stand tall in her fight, surrounded by family, friends, and fans.
If you can’t make it to Friday’s games in person, donations can be made online.
