Get ready to rumble, for a good cause.

Coupeville High School basketball players are launching their annual toy drive to benefit local youth, and Wolf fans will have multiple opportunities to help the cause.

When you attend CHS hoops games this month, you’ll see boxes in the lobby of the gym awaiting delivery of new, unopened toys.

As usual, there’s also a bit of a side bet to the whole thing, as one box is labeled “Girls”, and one box is labeled “Boys.”

That has nothing to do with which children will receive which toys but instead draws the battle lines between the two CHS hoops programs, as they compete to see which team can collect the most toys.

Last season, the Wolves collected 200+ gifts, and this time around they’re hoping to surpass that number.

There is home games set for Dec. 4, 6, 9, and 16 to grant you easy access to donate.

This year as well, there is a GoFundMe being run for the Holiday House, which is where the toys are dispersed through.

Everyone wins.

Well, technically, the girls beat the boys during Coupeville High School basketball’s annual toy drive.

So, Megan Richter and her program will have bragging rights and all.

But the real winners are the kids who will get toys during the holiday season, thanks to all the Wolf hoops stars, fans who donated, and Holiday House North, who will distribute the gifts.

Overall, the Wolf hardwood heroes collected more than 200 toys.

Coupeville High School basketball players are spearheading an annual toy drive this weekend.

The Wolves host home games Friday (Orcas Island) and Saturday (Morton-White Pass) and will be accepting unwrapped gifts to be given to Holiday House North, which serves families in Oak Harbor and Coupeville.

It’s a competition as well, as the CHS girls’ and boys’ hoops stars will each have a box set up in the lobby of the gym.

“We are excited to give to some families in our community,” said Coupeville High School Athletic Director Brad Sherman.

“And we encourage all spectators to join us in helping to spread some joy and happiness as we enter into the holiday season.”
