It took them 34 years to get back to state. Now they’re looking to go back-to-back.
The Coupeville High School boys’ basketball squad rolls into next week’s bi-district tourney as the #1 seed from District 1, intent on punching a return ticket to the big dance.
This year’s boy’s tourney is a four-team, double-elimination affair, and the Wolves need two wins to be one of two teams to advance.
