Drills…

And more drills.

   With a year of middle school play under their belt, the 8th graders are wise old veterans.

The countdown begins.

Coupeville Middle School volleyball players are hard at work, running drills and learning new skills, as they heads towards their first match.

Play begins Sept. 20, with a road trip to Sequim, while the Wolves home debut is set for Sept. 28.

CMS has five home matches this season, with play set to tip-off at 3:15 PM each time:

Sept. 28 — Stevens
Oct. 2 — Forks
Oct. 9 — Sequim
Oct. 23 — Chimacum
Oct. 25 — Port Townsend

One week in, one week to go.

Actually a little less, as the Coupeville High School girls’ basketball squad hits the floor next Saturday for a jamboree at Sedro-Woolley.

Real games kick off Tuesday, Nov. 29, with the Wolf girls traveling to Blaine, while the CHS boys welcome the Borderites to Whidbey.

At the midway point of the practice run, Coupeville girls’ coach David King swings by to talk for a bit in the Coaches Corner:

Week one was one of the best weeks of practices I’ve been a part of.

Players came in enthusiastic and ready to learn every day. They earned whatever rest they got on Saturday afternoon/evening and all day Sunday.
