Treasure the small moments, because they could be the start of something big.
This year’s Coupeville High School boys C-Team basketball squad is very green, with not a lot of experience spread among its players.
But that hasn’t stopped the young Wolves and first-year head coach Patrick Upchurch from returning to the gym, day after day, intent on growing and developing.
There will be rough nights, yes, such as Monday’s 65-10 loss to visiting Cedar Park Christian.
The Eagles had more depth, more experience, and are further along in their development.
But the Wolves, who will play five games this week, including a doubleheader Saturday, showed no quit.
Six of their eight active players scored Monday, with the highlight coming from Caleb Sonntag, who netted his first bucket as a member of the CHS hoops program.
Coen Killian, Brayden Coatney, and Dominic Coffman each added a basket, while Josh Upchurch and Nick Armstrong both swished a free throw to round out the scoring.
With several players missing in action, Ty Hamilton and Alex Wasik rounded out the active roster, both seeing floor time and bringing their customary hustle and grit to the action.
The C-Team, now 0-3 in North Sound Conference play, 1-6 overall, returns to action Tuesday with a trip to Shoreline to play King’s.
After that comes a rematch with Cedar Park in Bothell Friday, then a twin-bill Saturday in Granite Falls. CHS will play both the host Tigers and Sultan.
