All the rules (they want you to follow)

The mainland is about to be invaded by Wolf Nation.

Coupeville High School fans travel in packs to almost all off-island sports events, so Saturday’s state tourney game against Tonasket should see a lot of red and black in the stands.

In anticipation of the event, Arlington High School, which is hosting, sent out a collection of pertinent info.

Site:

Arlington High School — 18821 Crown Ridge Blvd. in … Arlington.

Your game-day destination.

Streaming:

They will tell you NFHS (and its cruddy cameras and terrible customer service) is your only option. Au contraire, Mon frere (if you’re a Coupeville fan)!

School board prez (and Wolf Mom) Morgan White livestreams on her Facebook page and offers a better picture and running commentary.

For free, unlike NFHS.

Seating:

The “home” teams will be on the East end of the court, while the visiting team will be on the West end.

Student sections will be located across the court from the team bench, while adults will sit behind the team bench.

In our current nanny state, you are “not permitted to make inappropriate comments toward officials and opponents” and can be ejected for doing so.

If you do get the heave-ho, wave at the camera as you go.

That way immature Gen X’ers like myself can pour one out for you while remembering a time when students sections were allowed to be rowdy, and everyone shockingly survived to grow up to become functioning adults.

Functioning adults who live to complain a lot about “the mollycoddlers ruinin’ our beloved game,” but functioning adults nonetheless.
