Double duty.

The lure of the hardwood, and the lure of (cold) beaches, vied for prominence during the first two days of the Coupeville High School girls’ basketball team’s annual trip to Ocean Shores.

And build award-worthy sand castles.

Then it was back to beatin’ down fools on the hardcourt, while leaving a trail of sand along the baseline.
