Call ’em the Beard Brigade.

Few teams can match the chin warmers offered up by Coupeville High School football coaches.

The Wolves go four-deep, with head man Bennett Richter joined by assistants Brett Casey, Bobby Carr, and Alex Turner.

To a man, they sport impressive facial hair, a testament to the prairie’s reputation for producing only the manliest of men.

It’s basketball night in America.

Friday night arrives, and, with it, comes the return of roundball, as all four Coupeville High School hoops squads jump into action.

The Wolf boys (2-11) are on the road at Lakewood, while the CHS girls (6-7) play host to the Cougars at home (JV tips at 5 PM, varsity at 6:45).

The gentlemen of the hardwood will play two games in less than 24 hours, as Coupeville will host King’s Saturday (2:30/4) in a game originally scheduled for the end of the season.

Then next week is the return of doubleheader delights, as the Wolf squads have back-to-back double dips, traveling to South Whidbey Tuesday, before welcoming non-conference foe Friday Harbor Wednesday.
