Coupeville High School lucky to have basketball coach | Letters

Editor,

You recently printed a letter written negatively about the Coupeville High School Girls Basketball Coach David King because some girls did not get to play in their final game. First, I am shocked a newspaper of any stature would print this.

The real story is Coupeville High School athletics benefit hugely from David King’s coaching. Our community owes the King’s a huge amount of gratitude for their efforts with our student-athletes. High school sports are about teaching, learning and winning.

The seniors all played generous amounts during the Senior Night game against Granite Falls in a feel good game against a much lesser opponent. The playoffs are about winning. As a a youth coach, I suggest Coupeville High School is very lucky to have Coach King working with our high school student athletes.
