No hoops for you.

Coupeville Middle School has cancelled its home hoops games scheduled for today, a victim of the wind storm that slammed the coast Wednesday night and early Thursday morning.

CMS is actually totally fine, but Blue Heron Middle School in Port Townsend, which was supposed to travel to Whidbey today, is closed.

The school has no power, according to a report by the Port Townsend Leader.

Wolf coaches Ryan King and Bob Martin confirmed the games have been postponed.

They will likely be rescheduled, and we will update this story when and if that happens.

Coupeville, which swept Blue Heron the first time the two schools faced, sits at 4-2 (8th grade varsity) and 2-4 (7th grade varsity), with four games remaining in the season.

UPDATE: As of 11:30 AM Thursday, Blue Heron MS officials are saying they may be unable to reschedule.

If that’s true, CMS will lose one of its five home games and end up with a nine-game schedule.

Coupeville travels to Forks Monday, Mar. 14, hosts Stevens Thursday, Mar. 17 and travels to Sequim Monday, Mar. 21.

The Coupeville High School girls’ tennis squad was rolling to its fourth straight victory Tuesday, before rain and gusty winds derailed their plans.

All four matches in play on the CHS courts were going the way of the Wolves, with Coupeville players a set up in each match.

Then Klahowya got a break. At least a small one.

The two schools are scheduled to play again April 30, at the home of the Eagles.

When that happens, weather permitting, the Wolves will wrap up Tuesday’s win first before going for a three-match sweep of their Olympic League opponents.

“We’ll play a 1.5 header,” said Coupeville coach Ken Stange.

With the weather shifting back to sun today, the Wolves (4-3 overall, 2-0 in league play) will welcome non-conference foe Granite Falls to town. Play kicks off at 4 PM.
