Flowers and basketball players were blooming.

Several packs of Coupeville Wolf hoops stars spent part of the weekend playing in Skagit Valley’s 23rd annual Tulip Basketball Tournament

By the time they were done, both squads had played numerous games (the older girls claiming 5th place in a 12-team tourney), but still had time to pose for photos.

“Celebration! Good times!! Oh, and splits. We can do splits, too!!”

“They are all on cloud nine!”

That was the word from proud mama Mariah Knoblich after Coupeville claimed 4th place at the Girls SWISH Basketball League 5th/6th grade “Silver-Skagit” Division Tournament Saturday.

The squad, coached by Lark Gustafson, opened the tourney in Mount Vernon with a narrow 15-14 loss in sudden death to the Skagit Dunkers.

Bouncing right back, Cow Town then blasted La Conner Silver 18-8.

The (young) Wolves are on the prowl.

Give the readers what they want.

And what they’re asking for right now is more photos of the future of Wolf girls’ basketball.

After we ran a series of pics Sunday from a SWISH game involving the young guns of Whidbey, the response was loud and clear.

More, more, more!

So, it’s a good thing I actually had more photos than I ran the first time around. And now, thanks to coach Lark Gustafson, I have a roster so I can ID the players.

They’re back, by popular demand.

Coupeville Sports is everywhere.

Thanks to travelin’ photo man John Fisken, who decided to stroll over to Sedro-Woolley on a Saturday, we can offer you a selection of scintillating basketball pics this morning.

The team in question is a SWISH squad starring Coupeville girls who will likely one day rule the court for the Wolves.

Catch them now, and get them to autograph their photos for you, before they hit the big time.

To see a ton more pics from the game, pop over to:

And don’t forget — when you purchase photos from Fisken, part of the proceeds go to fund scholarships for CHS student/athletes.

Fuel the fire.
