When it’s been 34 years between trips, people tend to get excited.
The Coupeville High School boys basketball team left for Spokane, and the state tourney, Tuesday morning, the first such trek for the program since 1988.
Before the Wolves blew out of Cow Town and hit the open road, they got a send-off from classmates, parents, fans, teachers, and — loudest of all — the local elementary school kids.
Soak it in. No one can say for sure when that next trip will come.
