Wolf cheerleaders soldier on, down a leader!!

One voice will be missing from Coupeville High School cheer this winter. The most enthusiastic one.

Wolf coach Sylvia Arnold will sit out the basketball season, giving her more time to deal with pressing family issues, and assistant Cheridan Boyd Eck will run the team in her absence.

Arnold expects to return in the fall, when youngest son Brett Arnold will be a senior on the Wolf football squad.

For now, Boyd Eck, a former Sonics dancer and current fitness instructor, will step to the forefront after assisting with this year’s fall squad. She will have a 15-women cheer team, a nice hold-over from the 27 girls who were on the football squad.

Current team members include Nicole Becker, Elizabeth Bishop, Destiny Bitting, Kylie Burge, Emily Clay, Caitlyn Connolly, Darian Emerick, Jovanah Foote, Sylvia Hurlburt, Elena Jiminez-Guerra, Teri Lee, Jessica Painter, Kirsten Pelroy, Iris Ryckaert and Cheyenne Yocham.
