Do the ticket hustle!

First come, first served — and you have to buy your ticket in advance.

When the Coupeville High School basketball teams travel to Orcas Island Saturday, seating will be restricted to 50 road fans.

Wolf fans interested in attending also need to pre-purchase their tickets online, and when 50 tickets are sold, the event will appear as “sold out.”

Tickets go on sale Thursday.

When you arrive at the gym Saturday, your digital ticket will be scanned. No cash will be accepted.

Orcas High School will pay the $1 service fee for each transaction, but fans will have to pay a 2.9% card processing fee in addition to the normal entrance fee.

This affects ONLY the games at Orcas Saturday, and not games when the Vikings travel to Whidbey to play Coupeville.

To buy tickets, go to https://orcasvikings.com/ and click on “tickets” in the top right corner of the page.

We’re (slightly) in limbo.

The Coupeville High School basketball squads are off until this weekend, when they play back-to-back games Friday and Saturday.

The first of those is at home against Darrington, the second on the road at Orcas Island.

While the Wolves work in practice, and their fans wait for games, some pics to help pass the time.

Audrianna Shaw is averaging 10.5 points a game for the Wolf varsity girls.

Two games in, the names at the top are familiar ones.

Audrianna Shaw and Hawthorne Wolfe, who led the Coupeville High School varsity basketball teams in scoring as juniors, are back filling up the buckets as seniors.

Both Wolf varsity squads are very balanced in their scoring attack so far, with the CHS boys one point away from having five players averaging double digits.

On the JV side of things, Madison McMillan and Ryan Blouin have the early lead for their teams.

Waitin’ for something to develop

Survive the bleachers, get your photo snapped.

The seats in the Coupeville High School gym are notoriously hard — or at least that’s what my tender derrière has to say on the matter.

That being said, Wolf fans still show up, and wanderin’ photo clicker John Fisken is likely to snap pics of them when they do, as shown in the images above and below.

She’s still a Stone-cold winner

It was a quick bounce-back.

Less than 24 hours after taking a loss in the WBBL Cup, Coupeville’s Makana Stone and her pro hoops team got itself back into the win column.

Leading from start to finish, the Leicester Riders whacked the Durham Palatinates 78-63 Sunday, raising their record to 6-2 in Women’s British Basketball League regular season action.

Counting three wins in four games during WBBL Cup play, Stone and Co. are 9-3 on the season.

The former Wolf, who has been recovering from an injury, came off the bench to play nine minutes Sunday, scoring three points and hauling in five rebounds.

Stone’s points came courtesy of a long three-ball, while her rebounds were second-best on the day for a Riders player.

Leicester jumped out in front 21-15 after one quarter of play, then stretched its lead to 46-28 by the half, and 56-43 heading into the final frame.

Oceana Hamilton and Anna Lappenkuper paced the Riders with 21 and 17 points, respectively.

Playing her first season of pro ball, Stone has collected 64 points, 57 rebounds, 13 assists, and seven steals.

Leicester returns to action next Saturday, Dec. 11, when it faces off with Manchester.
