Willie Smith would love it if gas prices came down right about now.
With Coupeville High School teams having eight of nine events on the road this coming week, the wheels on the busses will be goin’ round and round, prompting more than one fill-up.

Three of four CHS teams spend their entire week away from Cow Town, with only track and field slated to be at home.
The throwers, runners, and jumpers welcome other teams to Whidbey Wednesday for the Coupeville Classic Invite, then head to North Kitsap Saturday for the Lil’ Norway Invitational.

Making the most road trips, Coupeville softball is off to Friday Harbor Tuesday, Blaine Friday, and Granite Falls Saturday.
As everyone preps snacks, gets their pillows fluffed, and prepares a play list for the time spent bumping along the backroads of America, a look at current win/loss records for sports which track that sort of thing.
