Right now, at this moment in time, they’re undefeated.
The high school boys basketball season is still months and months away, but that’s not stopping Coupeville from getting after it.
Prepping for an upcoming team camp, the Wolves traveled off-Island this weekend, and returned home as Crescent Classic champs.
Coupeville, facing off with Chimacum, Forks, and the host team, went 5-0 to nab the title.
Having traveled 154.8 miles round-trip to Crescent, the Wolves earned a win for every 31 miles.
CHS coach Brad Sherman had his full team at his disposal, with all nine returning full-time varsity players in attendance.
That group includes Jacobi Pilgrim, Jered Brown, Hawthorne Wolfe, Jean Lund-Olsen, Gavin Knoblich, Ulrik Wells, Mason Grove, Koa Davison, and Sean Toomey-Stout.
Also along for the trip were Daniel Olson and Xavier Murdy, who were swing players during the 2018-2019 season, and Tucker Hall.
After a season in which Coupeville had just one senior, the now-graduated Dane Lucero, the Wolves could boast nine 12th graders this winter.
The only underclassmen in the current varsity group are Olson, who will be a junior, and Wolfe and Murdy, who will be sophomores.
Their coach came away from the trip pleased with the results, and, more importantly, thrilled with the effort he saw from his players.
“Was a good opportunity for our guys to get out and play before camp,” Sherman said. “Good team basketball; really great team effort.”
