Never write anything down in pen. Ever.
A conflict on South Whidbey’s side of things will move the Falcons trip to Coupeville for a night of rivalry basketball from Dec. 4 to Dec. 16.
The bigger part of the deal is the 50th anniversary celebration of CHS girls’ hoops is connected to those games and will also shift to the new date.
That shindig will include honoring the top 15 scorers in program history, in addition to the 1999-2000 team.
That group, led by coaches Willie and Cherie Smith, was the first Wolf girls’ squad, in any sport, to win a game at the state tourney.
Plus, cake.
Two big positives for the move?
Dec. 16 is a Saturday, while Dec. 4 was a Monday, likely making it easier for those who need to travel.
Also, the later date should allow for former Wolves now in college to be home for the holidays.
