Only one team is going East.

Both Coupeville High School varsity basketball squads were scheduled to play in holiday tournaments this week, but the Wolf girls have changed their plans.

Citing a number of nagging injuries, Megan Richter’s team will stay home and rest up, instead of traveling to Ellensburg.

The Wolf boys are still scheduled to get on the bus Monday for a trip to Leavenworth, where Cascade High School will host a four-team rumble.

Brad Sherman’s squad faces Kittitas Tuesday, then plays either Cascade or Manson the next day.

The Wolf girls were set to play Chelan Tuesday, then face off with either Sultan or tourney host Kittitas Wednesday.

Instead, the Wolves will take some extra time to get right before action gets hot and heavy in the new year.

“We should all be healed up and ready to go by league,” Richter said.

Coupeville’s varsity girls’ team, which is 3-3 on the season, kicks off 2023 with four-straight home games.

The Wolves host Granite Falls Jan. 4 for a non-conference tilt, then play Northwest 2B/1B League rivals Orcas Island (Jan. 6), Mount Vernon Christian (Jan. 10), and Darrington (Jan. 13).
