Feisty Wolf ball-hawks Allison Wenzel (with arms locked around ball) and Brittany Powers (far left) do battle in the trenches.
Look up textbook shooting form, and you’ll find this photo of Maddy Hilkey.
Concrete may send three defenders his way, but sweet-dribblin’ sensation Luke Merriman isn’t going to be trapped any time soon.
Kyla Briscoe’s shot is so pretty, it makes all her rivals grimace in pain.
Let the bodies hit the floor, as Risen Johnson (with ball) dribbles out of a traffic jam.
Jared Helmstadter soars to the heavens to snatch a rebound.
Kailey Kellner (42) keeps her eye on the rebound, and her hand ready to poke La Conner’s player in the kidney. It’s why they call her “Killer.”
This has been the weirdest basketball season ever.
At least in terms of the schedule, which is all over the place.
Long stretches of absolutely no games, then teams playing three times in four days, then long stretches of nothing … and repeat over and over.
We’re currently in our last stretch of nothingness, with the CHS girls (8-3) sitting for nine days again.
The Wolves last played Jan. 9, when they trounced Mount Vernon Christian, and they don’t return to game action again until Jan. 19, when they travel to Chimacum.
The Coupeville boys (5-6) are sailing through a relatively “short” break, with five days between their win this past Saturday and a home game Friday against Stevenson.
That will be varsity only, though, so the Wolf JV boys will get to replicate the girls stretch of no on-court competition, sitting from Jan. 10-18.
So, to tide you, the fans, over, a few pics to remind you of what game action looks like.
Cause it’s the closest you’ll get to the real thing for a bit.
