Time to rest up.
Coming off a period of playing three games in four days, Coupeville High School basketball teams are now off for a week-plus.
Both Wolf varsity squads return to action with appearances at Eastern Washington tournaments Dec. 27-28, while JV teams are idle until the first week of the new year.
The down time will give Coupeville players a chance to deal with a few nagging, low-key injuries, while coaches continue to tweak their game plans.
As we wait for the return of live action, a look at where Northwest 2B/1B League schools sit through games of Dec. 17:
