Rivals on the court, partners off the floor.

Depending on how fast the snow melts, Coupeville High School basketball is primed to welcome Mount Vernon Christian to town Friday for big Northwest 2B/1B League showdown games.

While the Wolves and Hurricanes will clash on the hardwood, they are uniting to raise money for the fight against cancer.

Those dollar bills will go to the Jimmy V Foundation, which honors late college basketball coach Jimmy Valvano, who waged a furious fight with the disease.

They scored big buckets, and big bucks.

Coupeville High School basketball teams won three of four games Friday night during their first home games in two weeks.

Making the night even sweeter, the Wolves, and their fans, raised nearly $1,000 for cancer research.

Taking part in their annual Coaches vs. Cancer event, this year renamed Coupeville vs. Cancer, CHS brought in $955 thanks to fundraising efforts.

The money was donated to the V Foundation for Cancer Research, which was founded by legendary college basketball coach Jim Valvano.
