Jeff Stone torched the nets for 644 points during his senior season, the best single-season performance in Whidbey Island history.
Coupeville coaches Bob Barker (with clipboard) and Craig Pedlar (far right) unleash destruction.
Corey Cross (12) rolls to the hoop, while Stone (34) awaits a possible rebound.
Tim Quenzer rises to the moment.
15 days until the biggest reunion in Coupeville High School basketball history.
Jan. 19 marks the 101st anniversary of the first hoops game in school history (a 29-7 win over Langley), and the Wolf boys host Chimacum that night.
Tip-off is 3:30 (JV) and 5:15 (varsity).
The program will honor that first game, the immortal 1969-1970 Coupeville squad and the top 15 scorers in program history.
At the half, that ’69-’70 unit, which won the first district title in Whidbey Island history and still holds the school scoring records 48 years down the road, will be honored.
Then, at the conclusion of the game, every current and former CHS player, coach, manager and stat keeper in attendance will be asked to take part in an epic “team” photo shot by John Fisken.
As we count down the days to Jan. 19, I’m looking for any and all Coupeville boys basketball photos.
If you have some you’d like to share, shoot them to me at davidsvien@hotmail.com.
The ones above, capturing the ’69-’70 warriors in action, come to me from that team’s top scorer, Jeff Stone. He got them from his coach, Bob Barker.
