Love basketball?

Have a little extra time?

Want to get that warm glow in your chest from helping out a good cause?

If any of that applies to you, contact Amy Briscoe at (360) 632-2229 to volunteer for basketball game clock duty the weekend of June 14-16.

Hoopaholics, the annual camp for roundball addicts of a certain age, will be rolling back into the gym at Coupeville High School.

Since the group behind the event always helps out CHS hoops financially, your volunteer time can help fuel the continued success of Wolf programs being run by Brad Sherman and Megan Richter.

No prior experience is necessary — though, if you have some, even better.

Games start Friday at 3:00 PM, with Saturday going 10 AM-5:00 PM and Sunday 9:30-1:30.

If you have all three days available or can do an hour or two one of those days, any block of time is appreciated, Briscoe said.

It’s the basketball circle of life.

Help out with behind the scenes work at next summer’s Hoopaholics camp, and it will come back to benefit Coupeville basketball programs.

The camp, which brings numerous adult players to Whidbey Island, including U-Dub and NBA legend Steve Hawes, is in its 34th year of existence.

Participants stay at Camp Casey, with games held at the Coupeville High School gym during Father’s Day weekend June 16-18, 2023.

Volunteers are needed to help run the score board, do food prep, and set up.

Donations of cookies, snack mixes, and other homemade or store-bought goodies is also a priority.

Hoopaholics has a strong relationship with CHS basketball, and always makes a financial donation back to aid the Wolf hoops programs.

To volunteer, contact Amy Briscoe at (360) 632-2229.

If you volunteer, they will play.

After a long pandemic pause, Hoopaholics is planning a return to Coupeville this summer, with a weekend of basketball and fellowship set for June 17-19.

The event, which draws numerous adult hoops players to Camp Casey and the Coupeville High School gym, needs a fair number of hands to make sure everything runs right.

Amy Briscoe is looking for volunteers who are interested in things such as food prep, baking, scorekeeping, and laundry services.

If you’re a veteran of past Hoopaholics events, great. If you’re a first timer, no worries.

“I would love some veterans, and I would also love to meet some new people!” Briscoe said.

The three-day event is a financial boon both for businesses in Coupeville, and the CHS basketball programs, as Hoopaholics donates to support Wolf basketball players.

For more info, or to volunteer, contact Briscoe at (360) 632-2229.

Prom? We’re talkin’ about prom?!?!

There’s only one sports blog to turn to when it’s time to get serious and discuss … dresses.

Yep, Coupeville Sports, ever on the front-lines of the frock movement.

Prom is bearing down, just a week away it turns out, and if you’re a CHS student in need of clothing for the big night, yet don’t want to spend a ton of your parents money, I have the answer.

My Fairy Godmother provides dresses for a nominal rental fee, and thanks to the tireless efforts of Amy Briscoe, the selection is incredibly deep.

“I try and get another dress in the house and my husband disowns me!,” she laughed while dodging wind and rain at Saturday’s Wolf softball game.

If interested, contact Briscoe at (360) 632-2229 and she’ll set up an appointment.

Thus endeth my PSA.

And, if I see cookies or fudge or some such treat in my mailbox in the future, well, no one ever said I was above taking “bribes.”

Dress fever grips the nation.

We sit two weeks out from ye olde annual Coupeville High School Homecoming dance and the race is on to obtain garments for said night.

Enter the queen of the haberdashery, the titan of teal, the Tim Gunn of Cow Town, Amy Briscoe.

The mom of CHS spikers Tiffany and Kyla Briscoe, who also doubles as a reasonably-priced dress merchant in her work with My Fairy Godmother, is back at it.

Briscoe (and her 2,709 dresses) will be camped out in the school’s commons area Sept. 30-Oct. 1 (next Friday and Saturday) from 12-6 PM, making with the Homecoming dress rental.

Cost is just $20 (a steal, I say) and Briscoe offers a dazzling variety of styles and sizes.

You can also bring in a formal dress and slice $10 off the rental fee. Thrifty and fashion forward.
