Consider it a hardwood graduation.
Having wrapped their season Thursday, Coupeville Middle School 8th grade boys basketball players have finished one level of their hoops journey.
After this, hopefully, all nine Wolves who suited up this year will make the jump to join the high school program.
Having coached many of these players for both of their seasons in middle school, CMS 8th grade coach Dante Mitchell is like a proud father, sending his children onward and upward.
Friday, he made sure his players knew how much he appreciated them by holding an impromptu pizza party.
Gathered were Dominic Coffman, Jesse Wooten, Ty Hamilton, Alex Murdy, Josh Upchurch, Alex Wasik, Mitchell Hall, Kevin Partida, and Levi Pulliam.
“Pizza not for show, but because of the hard work and dedication,” Mitchell said. “I send my best wishes as these players move on to high school and bigger and better things.
“I’m so proud and grateful and blessed to have been able to get the opportunity to give back and coach such wonderful kids.”
