The dance floor will unite them.

That’s the plan, as Coupeville High School tennis coach Ken Stange welcomes folks to his South End establishment, kicking things up a notch with an appearance by a band that includes a fellow teacher from Oak Harbor.

Stange, who left teaching behind this year when he purchased Bailey’s Corner Store in Clinton, is bringing in acclaimed Island band Jacobs Road next weekend.

The well-known cover band includes drummer Mitch Aparicio (former Wolf sports star turned co-owner of Penn Cove Brewing Co.) and OHHS teacher Erik Christensen.

The group will be playing classic rock (ideal for singing along and dancing) at Bailey’s Corner next Saturday, Jan. 23 from 6-10 PM.

There’s a nominal $5 cover charge, so basically we’re talking $1.25 per hour — not at all unreasonable.

Especially since, if you’re smooth, you can probably fill up your autograph book that night, as well.

If you haven’t been to Bailey’s before, it’s at 7695 Cultus Bay Rd in Clinton.

Coupeville made it to state in five sports this spring.

Coupeville made it to state in five sports this spring.

Dear ATM, grab a few more hundred dollar bills and go wipe your sweet, sweet tears with them.

Whidbey Island ruled this spring.

There are eight teams in the 1A/2A Cascade Conference, and Coupeville and South Whidbey combined to claim 10 of the conference’s 23 appearances at state.

Both the Wolves and Falcons were represented in five of the six spring sports, as geographically isolated public schools came in ahead of the big bucks, scholarship-offering, big city programs.

Archbishop Thomas Murphy (four sports) and King’s (three) couldn’t match the Whidbey schools, while Cedarcrest (two), Sultan (two), Lakewood (one) and Granite Falls (one) trailed far behind.

Coupeville was the only school to send both its baseball and softball teams to state, while also qualifying in girls’ golf, track and boys’ tennis (the season is in the fall, but state in the spring).

South Whidbey was right there with the Wolves, with baseball, boys’ soccer, girls’ golf, track and girls’ tennis represented.

Track was the great equalizer, as all eight schools got athletes through to state, while softball and tennis were the most demanding, with only two schools hitting pay dirt in each sport.

Breakdown by sport:

Baseball — Coupeville, South Whidbey, ATM

Softball — Coupeville, Sultan

Boys’ soccer — ATM, King’s, South Whidbey

Golf — Coupeville, ATM, King’s, South Whidbey, Cedarcrest

Track — Coupeville, ATM, King’s, South Whidbey, Cedarcrest, Granite Falls, Sultan, Lakewood

Tennis — Coupeville, South Whidbey
