Ron Bagby and his ’87-’88 squad, the last Wolf boys hoops team to make it to the state tourney.
Coupeville’s ’84-’85 hoops stars, back when high school basketball players (or some of them, at least) knew how to rock the ‘stache.
10 days and counting.
Coupeville High School’s boys basketball anniversary shindig goes down Jan. 19, and we’re putting the call out for people to cram the stands.
The Wolves play Chimacum that night (3:30 JV, 5:15 varsity) and it’s the exact 101st anniversary of the first hoops game in school history (a 29-7 win over Langley in 1917).
Are you a former CHS player, coach, manager, stat keeper, ticket taker? Did you cheer at the games, either in an official capacity or as a fan?
Be there!
Whether you scored one point or 1,000, you are a part of the history of Wolf boys basketball, and this is your night.
There’ll be a special game program, honoring the first game, the immortal ’69-’70 team that still holds all the school records, and the Top 15 individual career scorers.
Toss in halftime festivities and an epic “team” photo after the game — when all former Wolves will be asked to take part — and things will be hoppin’.
There’s a few other things in the works, which will be announced in the next few days, and, as we count down, I am in the market for any and all Wolf basketball pics you might have.
Send them to me at davidsvien@hotmail.com, then rearrange your calendar and make sure you have Jan. 19 circled in red.
