The Wolves are putting the spotlight on the fight against a terrible disease.

CHS basketball is holding its annual “Coupeville vs. Cancer” night Tuesday, when Mount Vernon Christian comes to town for four games.

Tip-off is 5:15 PM for girls’ varsity and boys’ JV, with boys’ varsity and girls’ JV set to go at 7:00.

Donations will be accepted, while t-shirts and cancer awareness bracelets will be for sale.

All proceeds will be donated to the V Foundation for Cancer Research, founded by ESPN and legendary college basketball coach Jim Valvano.

There will also be a large poster on the wall at the entrance to the CHS gym complex, with fans given a chance to sign the names of loved ones who have been impacted by the disease.

Pens in multiple colors will be available, so that those signing can match specific cancer ribbons.

Now things get serious.

Next week is a huge one for Coupeville High School basketball teams, as they clash with the only schools ahead of them in the standings.

The Wolves welcome league leader Mount Vernon Christian to Whidbey Tuesday, Jan. 28, before traveling to La Conner three days later.

With only one conference clash left on the schedule after that, next week’s twin bill will have a ton to say on where both Coupeville teams end up in the race for playoff seeding.

As we gaze towards the future, a quick look at where things sit today:

 

Northwest League boys’ basketball:

School League Overall
MV Christian 6-0 9-7
La Conner 6-1 9-8
Coupeville 5-2 6-10
Friday Harbor 2-4 2-12
Orcas Island 2-5 4-12

A little home cooking, a little far-flung adventure.

Coupeville High School basketball teams have a split schedule in the week ahead, starting at home and finishing on the road.

The Wolves host Concrete Tuesday, with both varsity teams and the girls’ JV suiting up, while the second boys’ squad has the night off.

Then, come Friday, all four CHS squads hit the road for a trip to Orcas Island.

With the regular season entering the stretch run, wins and losses are at a premium for everyone, but especially for varsity teams fighting for playoff positioning.

Where things sit through Jan. 19:

 

Northwest League boys’ basketball:

School League Overall
MV Christian 5-0 7-6
La Conner 4-1 7-8
Coupeville 3-2 4-10
Friday Harbor 2-3 2-11
Concrete 1-3 5-9
Darrington 1-4 6-8
Orcas Island 1-4 3-11

 

Northwest League girls’ basketball:

School League Overall
MV Christian 5-0 11-2
Concrete 3-1 11-3
La Conner 3-1 6-8
Coupeville 3-2 6-7
Friday Harbor 1-3 2-11
Orcas Island 1-4 8-8

Action on the court, action off the court.

The pics seen above and below capture Wolf basketball players, and their support crews, in moments where the ball is not flying skyward towards the hoop.

Look around; you never know when something may be happening.
