The thermometer says summer, the calendar says fall.

Temps pushed 80 degrees in town Wednesday, but that didn’t stop the Coupeville High School football team from kicking off the first day of practice for a new season.

Or making that first basket.

We have had a great off season with a punctuation with a great showing at the shooting clinic on Saturday.

Those that attended have already made advancements in their shooting that others missed out on.

Starting tomorrow each and every player has to have the mindset to compete in every drill, every play and every day to earn their spot and playing time.

This includes attitude, effort, skill set, coachability and willingness to put team over individual.
