The Wolves play for two things Friday night.

On the court, the Coupeville High School basketball teams will clash with visiting Darrington in key Northwest 2B/1B League contests.

But the Wolves will also be leading the way to honor those fighting cancer, while raising funds for the WhidbeyHealth Foundation.

The annual “Coupeville vs. Cancer” night features girls varsity and boys JV hoops games at 5:15 PM, followed by boys’ varsity at 7:00.

Players will wear custom “Coupeville vs. Cancer” warmups, and a giant sign will be posted on a wall in the hallway leading to the CHS gym where people will be encouraged to write the names of loved ones who have fought or are fighting cancer.

Shirt and bracelets will be available for sale, and donations can be made at the game or online.

All funds raised will directly support cancer care at WhidbeyHealth, helping “ensure that patients can receive compassionate, high-quality care close to home.

“Your generosity strengthens our community and makes a lasting impact,” said CHS coaches in a statement.

“Please know that your courage is an inspiration, and we are proud to stand as a community and recognize your strength, and resilience.”

There will also be a large poster on the wall at the entrance to the CHS gym complex, with fans given a chance to sign the names of loved ones who have been impacted by the disease.

Pens in multiple colors will be available, so that those signing can match specific cancer ribbons.

Rivals on the court, partners off the floor.

Depending on how fast the snow melts, Coupeville High School basketball is primed to welcome Mount Vernon Christian to town Friday for big Northwest 2B/1B League showdown games.

While the Wolves and Hurricanes will clash on the hardwood, they are uniting to raise money for the fight against cancer.

Those dollar bills will go to the Jimmy V Foundation, which honors late college basketball coach Jimmy Valvano, who waged a furious fight with the disease.

The two schools are uniting to wear shirts which reflect the night’s message, as reflected in the photo above.

There will also be a large poster in the CHS gym hallway on which people can write messages of support for those fighting all the forms of cancer.
