Port Townsend heard Daniel Olson was on his way, and they took the easiest way out.
Unable to face being shredded by the Coupeville Middle School marksman and his run ‘n gun teammates, the mainlanders fell back on weather conditions and postponed Thursday’s scheduled basketball games.
The Wolves were about to board the bus and head to the ferry when the news came in that they would no longer be going to Blue Heron Middle School.
Earlier in the afternoon, the National Weather Service issued a High Wind Warning to go from 2-10 PM today.
Southerly winds are expected to increase up to 40 mph late in the afternoon or early evening, with gusts of 60 mph possible.
With a very strong chance the Port Townsend/Coupeville ferry would revert back to being the Vomit Comet in the choppy water (or possibly be sidelined altogether in the wind), the decision was made not to potentially strand the Wolves on the other side.
No word yet on when, or if, the games will be made up.
