“There is real talent being developed here.”
Both the present and future of Coupeville boys’ basketball is a bright one, with Cow Town’s hardwood heroes filling out four successful SWISH teams this winter.
One of those squads, the 7th/8th grade team, earned third place in its league tourney, qualifying for the state tourney, which goes down in Spokane this weekend.
Meanwhile, the Wolf 4th/5th graders claimed second in their playoff rumble, while the 6th graders were fourth, and the 3rd graders doubled up, playing two tourneys and finishing first and second.
“This group of athletes makes us incredibly excited for the future of Coupeville basketball,” said Wolf coach Kassie O’Neil.
“All four teams in the program showed tremendous growth this season.
“It’s exciting to think about what’s ahead as these players continue to grow and move up through the program.
“We can’t wait to keep working with this group and see where their love of the game takes them next.”
