We’re off to Spokane.
Renae (Keefe) Mulholland has been digitizing cassettes from her father’s collection of radio broadcasts, and this time out we’re at the big dance.
The Coupeville High School boys basketball team clashes with Lind in the first of two games it played at the 1975 state tourney, and we have the radio call to prove it.
The game you can listen to below was part of Coupeville’s second of five trips (so far) to the state tourney.
The first came during the go-go 1969-1970 campaign, and the first Wolf win on the sport’s biggest stage would come almost exactly a year after this Lind game.
On March 4, 1976, CHS, featuring some of the same players who made the trip to state in 1975, such as Bill Jarrell, Foster Faris, and Marc Bissett, bounced Columbia (Burbank) 80-63.
That, along with a 62-51 win over Montesano March 1, 1979, remain the only tourney wins for a Coupeville boys basketball program which sits at 2-10 all-time at state.
But, the future is an unknown. Who knows how many state wins may be lurking right around the corner?
As you wait for that, and as the current players work for that, take a moment to bask in past glory.
