You can move off Whidbey Island, but you can never really get away.
Friday night, former Coupeville High School girls’ basketball coach Jackie Bykonen came back to the Island — well, the North end at least.
Now a coach with Meadowdale, a 3A school in the Western Conference, she was in town to help the Mavericks keep Oak Harbor winless.
Meadowdale withstood a third quarter charge from the Wildcats and escaped town with a 61-53 win.
The Mavericks are 5-9, while OHHS sits at 0-12. Bykonen’s former squad currently sits at 6-6.
