Former Coupeville High School hoops coach Scott Fox sports a new purple and gold ensemble while gracing the Oak Harbor bench.
Once were Wolves, now are Wildcats.
Oak Harbor High School kicked off a new basketball season Saturday with “A Night with the Cats,” featuring various OHHS teams squaring off on the hardwood.
On the girl’s side of things, two participants have a Coupeville connection.
Sweet-shooting Lauren Marrs, coming off a stellar season on the soccer pitch, torched the nets in Cow Town back in her middle school days.
A proficient scorer for the Wolves, she’s back to lofting jumpers and remains a fan favorite.
Also reappearing on the sidelines is former Coupeville coach Scott Fox, now sporting purple and gold clothes.
The longtime hoops swami worked with both male and female players during his time at CHS.
Fox started with the Wolf boys’ program, then led the school’s varsity girls through two seasons of play before stepping down to focus on health issues.
And thus concludes our brief detour into Wildcat territory, home to the school which issued me a high school diploma.
There will be no rivalry games between Oak Harbor and Coupeville during the 2022-2023 season.
Having been KO’d by the 2B Wolves last season in a boy’s game, the 3A Wildcats constructed a schedule without a rematch this season.
