Wave bye-bye-bye as the wheels on the bus go round and round.
The Coupeville High School boys basketball team hits the road Tuesday, on its way to Spokane for the 2B state tournament.
The Wolves leave the CHS gym at 11 AM, then roll down Main Street on their way to the highway.
That’s to allow Coupeville Elementary School students a chance to participate in the fond farewells, and the community is also invited to join the celebration.
Coupeville, 16-1 on the season after a narrow loss to top-seeded Kalama in the state opener Friday in Battle Ground, begins play Wednesday at the Spokane Arena with a 9 PM game against Lake Roosevelt.
That’s a loser-out game, with the winner moving on to the double-elimination quarterfinals.
The state tourney runs through Saturday, with the top six teams bringing home trophies.
This is the first time the CHS boys basketball team has made it to state since 1988 and continues a season of excellence.
Brad Sherman’s squad won a Northwest 2B/1B League title, the program’s first league crown since 2002.
The Wolves followed that up with a District 1/2 title — its second district title in 105 seasons, and first since 1970.
Injured senior Miles Davidson has stayed busy compiling stats.
