The Coupeville High School girls’ basketball team may be down a starter for the rest of the season.

Junior post Hailey Hammer, who has been out since rolling her ankle in a game against Mount Vernon Christian Jan. 11, is still on crutches two weeks later and is now believed to have a torn ligament.

With her ankle still badly swollen, she will be going to a doctor in Seattle Tuesday for a prognosis.

Hammer, one of Coupeville’s top inside threats, seems resigned to being a cheerleader for the Wolves the rest of the way as they fight for a playoff berth.

Coupeville (6-8 overall, 3-6 in Cascade Conference play) currently holds a two-game lead over South Whidbey (1-8) in the battle for the league’s second 1A playoff berth. King’s (9-0) has clinched the top spot.

The Wolves and Falcons have five league games remaining, starting with a showdown in Langley Tuesday night.

The hope for Hammer now is to be back up and moving in time for softball season. CHS kicks off practice Monday, March 3.

She also travels with Wolf senior Madeline Roberts to play for a select softball team off-Island.

“I believe I’m out for the rest of the season. No more basketball for me this year,” Hammer said. “I’m hoping it won’t affect my softball teams.”

Hailey Hammer is on the mend.

The Coupeville High School junior post player is working towards returning to the starting lineup for the Wolf girls’ basketball squad after injuring her ankle in a game.

She went down against Mount Vernon Christian Saturday, rolling her ankle, and had to be helped off the court by Wolf coach David King and a teammate.

The good news is, that while her ankle is 10,001 shades of purple and green, it doesn’t appear to be broken.

Now she just has to keep her weight off of it, hope to heal quickly and impress the doctors when she sees them.

“I’m doing good. The crutches suck,” Hammer said. “I have a doctor’s appointment on Monday for a check up and we will go from there.”

Injuries continue to wreak havoc with the Coupeville High School girls’ basketball program.

Even as senior captain Breeanna Messner returns to action Tuesday at Granite Falls — after missing Saturday’s loss to Mount Vernon Christian after smacking her head on the hardwood a night before — the Wolves will be down several players.

The biggest impact will be felt by the loss of junior post Hailey Hammer, who may be out several weeks after hurting her ankle in the MVC game.

On crutches as recently as Monday, her absence costs the Wolf varsity (5-5 overall, 2-3 in Cascade Conference play) a starter.

“She went to the doctor yesterday and they did x-rays. Not broken. Wants to see her again next week,” said mom Linda Hammer. “They want to make sure she didn’t tear anything. I think she just rolled it.”

“It’s pretty swollen still and it’s bruising nicely,” she added. “I’m hoping she’s only out a couple weeks.”

The Coupeville JV squad has dealt with injuries all season, as well.

Miranda Engle (ankle) never saw the floor before her season was scrubbed, while McKenzie Bailey is currently wearing a sling as she recovers from a nasty fall at Sultan.

Joining them on injured reserve — at least for a bit — are sophomore Jenn Spark and freshman Tiffany Briscoe, who both have taken knocks to the head recently.

Briscoe’s came on the basketball court, while Spark slipped and whacked her noggin on a muddy soccer field in Shelton Sunday while playing with her select soccer team.

Both are expected to be out for at least a week as a cautionary measure.
