Kacie Kiel is coming for you, Langley!! (John Fisken photos)
And she’s bringing McKenzie “Elbows o’ Death” Bailey with her.
And, for good measure, Miranda “The Crusher” Engle is coming, too.
It all ends tonight!
One night only! FRIDAY, FRIDAY, FRIDAY!!
Wolves vs. Falcons, one school to rule them all. One school to claim Island supremacy (no one cares what happens up in Strip Mall City … I mean Oak Harbor), while the other one cries sweet, sweet tears that fall like rain on a winter night.
It shall be epic. It shall be “Highlander”-esque.
The place: South Whidbey High School in Langley.
The time: 5:00 tipoff for boys’ varsity and girls’ JV basketball, 6:45 for girls varsity and boys’ JV.
The stakes: I could talk about what this means to all four teams playoff hopes (a lot), but let me repeat: THIS IS FOR ISLAND SUPREMACY!!!!!!!!
Let the Wolves go forward and sing the song of our forefathers … if Woody Guthrie was one of our forefathers.
This Island is your land, this Island is my land
From the Clinton ferry dock, to the chocolate mousse at Christopher’s
From Greenbank Farm, to the Penn Cove waters
This Island was made for you and me, but mainly us
As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This Island was made for you and me, but mainly us
I’ve roamed and rambled and I’ve followed my footsteps
To the rocky beaches of her freezing waters
And all around me a voice was sounding
This Island was made for you and me, but mainly us
The sun comes shining as I was strolling
The farm fields waving and the Wolves rolling
The fog was lifting, a voice come chanting
This Island was made for you and me, but mainly us
As I was walkin’ – I saw a sign there
And that sign said – no trespassin’
But on the other side …. it didn’t say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me, but mainly us!
In the squares of the city – In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office – I see my people
And some are grumblin’ and some are wonderin’
If this Island’s still made for you and me.
And the answer is yes, this Island is our Island ever and ever
We are the Wolves, mighty and fierce
You are the Falcons, fallin’ from the sky
This Island was made for you and me, but mainly us
