God’s favorite sport is on the horizon.
Hardwood action kicks off Monday, Oct. 27, when the Coupeville Middle School boys’ basketball team begins practice.
The coaching trio of Alex Evans, RayLynn Ratcliff, and Jaylen Nitta return for a third season, with games running from mid-November through mid-December.
And the eight-game schedule has a unique look this go-around, with the Wolves starting with three straight on the road, before getting a perhaps unprecedented four consecutive rumbles at home.
Of course, even as I type that, school sports schedules are always prone to changes, so write everything down in pencil.
Regardless of how the games play out, the CMS coaches are excited to get going.
“It’s gonna be such a great season!” Ratcliff said.
“We had a large part of the group participate in camps, coaching and open gym opportunities this summer, showing their grit, determination and love for the game growing.”
The schedule:
Thur-Nov. 13 — @ Sultan (3:15)
Tue-Nov. 18 — @ King’s (3:15)
Thur-Nov. 20 — @ Northshore Christian (3:15)
