A smidge of respect.
For the first time this season, the Coupeville High School boys basketball team — the only unbeaten squad left in 2B — has been noticed by the big city boys.
The Wolves, who sit at a pristine 13-0 heading into a game at Friday Harbor tomorrow night, received two votes in the most-recent Associated Press prep basketball poll.
That’s not enough to crack the top 10, which is led by Okanogan and Kalama, but it’s a start.
And, to be honest, the lack of votes is understandable, as AP voters tend to vote for teams they’ve seen play at previous state tournies.
Coupeville’s boys are chasing their first invite to the big dance since 1988, so, out of sight, out of mind.
But now, with each new win, it’ll get harder and harder to ignore the Wolves.
Never know — go win a state title, and they might actually crack the top 10…
