It was semi-sorta springish out there Monday.

The rains stayed away, the sky cleared, the sun came out, and, if you ignored the freezing wind, you might have thought it really was tennis weather.

Kicking off what could be a busy week (if the weather holds) with the first of four matches, the Coupeville High School girl netters hosted big-school rival Lakewood in a lively match.

Wolf coach Ken Stange charged from court to court, sending players here, then there, then stopping to find a cookie for son Fletcher, who was busy scratching lines into the cement with the back of his sneaker.

On the court, doubles duo Iris Ryckaert and Holly Craggs led the fashion conscious, each matching the color of their sunglasses to their tennis outfits.

Off the court, the metal bleachers were packed most of the afternoon with parents and fans, while ace photographer John Fisken clicked away from inside the metal chain-link fences.

Check out some of his work above, and, if you like it (and why wouldn’t you), take a gander at the rest over at thttp://www.cascadeathletics.com/index.php?act=view_gallery&gallery=3908&league=2&page=1&page_name=photo_store&school=16&sport=0&tab=2 .
