Five days.

Basketball returns Monday, Oct. 30, when Coupeville Middle School boys kick off the first day of hoops practice.

Games begin two weeks later, with an eight-game schedule stretched across a month.

Coaches will be publicly announced in the next couple of days, with the plan to field three teams featuring a mix of players from 6th grade through 8th grade.

The squads will be varsity, JV-A, and JV-B, or Level 1, 2, and 3 if you prefer.

When the Wolves play on a Monday or Tuesday, the schedule goes 1-2-3. But if it’s a Wednesday or Thursday, we go in reverse order (3-2-1).

The schedule:

Tue-Nov. 14 — @ Sultan — (3:15)
Thur-Nov. 16 — @ King’s — (3:15)
Tue-Nov. 21 — Granite Falls — (3:15)
Tue-Nov. 28 — Northshore Christian — (3:15)
Thur-Nov. 30 — Sultan — (3:15)
Mon-Dec. 4 — @ South Whidbey — (3:30)
Mon-Dec. 11 — South Whidbey — (3:15)

Dynamic duo jump to high school hardwood

The dynamic duo is movin’ on up.

Coupeville grads turned coaches Craig Anderson and Jon Roberts will jump from the middle school to the high school this fall, replacing Hunter Smith as boys’ basketball JV coach.

The hires are 100% official when approved by the school board.

Smith departed after last season, capping a three-year run as JV coach.

Fire academy, a move off of Whidbey Island, and marriage to fellow CHS Athlete of the Year winner Payton Aparicio conspired to reduce Brad Sherman’s coaching staff.

The “new guys” are hardly new, since both have long-established roots both in Coupeville and with the Wolf basketball program.

Both Anderson and Roberts played high school hoops at CHS back in the day, and their sons Chase and Landon, respectively, currently suit up for the Wolves.

The duo coached successful middle school basketball teams, while Roberts is also the current high school JV baseball coach.

In their day jobs, Anderson is a Captain with the Oak Harbor Fire Department and Roberts owns Cascade Custom Homes and Design.

“Great summer of hoops!”

It’s a wrap on summer hoops.

Or at least the official part, as Coupeville High School players and coaches go their separate ways after playing at the Chelan East vs. West Summer Classic.

The Wolves played four games across three days, bonded by sleeping in close quarters, and managed to snag a fair amount of lake time before heading back to Whidbey.

Coupeville stayed at Manson High School during the trip.

“It was extremely kind of them to host us in a classroom so we could play this week,” said Wolf coach Brad Sherman.

The CHS hoops stars got floor time in Bellevue, Spokane, Chelan, as well as closer landing spots in the early summer days, giving a new-look squad a chance to start jelling.

The Wolves even played at home one night in mid-June, facing off with South Whidbey and Oak Harbor in a three-team royal rumble in the Coupeville gym.

Now, Sherman will count down the hours until the regular season rolls around this fall, content in the knowledge his players put in the work.

“Great summer of hoops with an awesome team of guys!” he said.

The hot tub calls after a long day on the hardwood.

Hopefully no one, or everyone, snores.

Back to the water.

Putting in court time.

Life’s a beach.

Summer hoopin’, had me a blast

Every season is basketball season.

Other sports have their positives, but hoops is God’s chosen sport, so playing it year-round is only fair.

And, while Coupeville High School’s sharp shooters might not truly play all 12 months, they have been taking advantage of school being out to get in some games and clinics.

The photos above and below, which come to us courtesy Wolf Moms Dina Guay and Angie Downes, capture hardwood life during the hot months.

The schedule was full at summer camp.

Hittin’ the open road in pursuit of hardwood fools to school.

But first, some solid protein.

Ready to drop 100 on the scoreboard operator.

No license, radio playing AC/DC at full blast, and punch the pedal through the metal.

Turn up the heat, turn up the intensity.

Coupeville High School boys’ basketball coaches packed 24 Wolf players into various cars and trucks and headed East this past Thursday, landing in Spokane for a weekend full of hoops.

Gonzaga University was the destination, with a three-day basketball camp at the home of the Bulldogs the reward.

Playing at all hours in a heat not seen back in Cow Town, the Wolves got plenty of floor time.

Coupeville played seven varsity games, as well as appearing in six JV games, with the spare hours featuring clinics put on by Zags staff and players, as well as team bonding time.
