Alex Turner stops ‘n pops.

Shane Losey goes up for two.

Do not get between Ben Olsen and the basketball, unless you have your life insurance paid up in full.

The Coupeville Middle School eighth grader is a rampaging beast on the backboards, as seen in the photo that leads off this collection.

And while CMS got dinged up pretty good by Langley Wednesday (the 7th grade JV was the only one of four Wolf squads to win), Olsen’s intensity bodes well for the future.

McKayla Bailey is a freakin’ national treasure!!

Posted in A freakin' American hero, Girls Basketball, Girls Soccer, Happy birthday, Softball on November 13, 2013| Leave a Comment »

"Oh, is that a camera you have in your hand? How ... interesting."

“Oh, is that a camera you have in your hand? How very … interesting.”

McKayla Bailey is the best. The absolute best.

No one at Coupeville High School can touch her for the title of Photo Bomb Ruler of the Universe. She is uncanny in her knowledge of where the camera is and when to slide into the picture at the last moment.

And yes, the Wolf junior, who celebrates her birthday today, is also a very good soccer, basketball and softball player, which is all good and fine.

But, in terms of generating page views, it’s her mad photo bomber skills that fuel the fire over here at coupevillesports.com.

Because, as they say, “She’s gold, Jerry! Gold!!”

Never change, McKayla. Never.

Don’t tread on Whidbey.

North, South and Central, and all the far-flung Wolf fans in every corner of the big, wide internet came together as one Tuesday and taught Marysville (population 62,402) a simple fact.

Coupeville (population 1,865) doesn’t go down easily.

Using an 800-73 run over a two-hour span (seriously) we broke the Everett Herald’s poll, now and forever.

Finally tally in the Herald’s poll for Prep Football Player of the Week:

Jake Tumblin of Coupeville (2,073 votes)

Deion Stell of Marysville-Pilchuck (1,624 votes)

That’s more votes than there are people in the town of Coupeville. Any questions?

You want a war, Marysville? You got it!!

Jake Tumblin, takin’ care of business. (John Fisken photo)

What part of “you already lost” do you not understand?

What began as a simple thing — the vote for the Everett Herald’s Prep Football Player of the Week — has transformed into an epic battle between the plucky town that could, and its supporters everywhere, and the big town that’s going down.

There are seven players nominated, but it long ago became a two-man battle between Coupeville’s Jake Tumblin and Marysville Pilchuck’s Deion Stell.

Jake ran for 315 yards, scored four touchdowns, picked off a pass, recovered a fumble and took a knee at the one-yard line on what could have been another touchdown, to set up fellow senior Raymond Beiriger for the only score of his high school career.

Stell, a very good player, ran for … 75 yards.

When the voting kicked off Sunday morning, Jake took the lead and held a 40-vote margin for some time, then got swamped and fell behind by 350+ votes. But then, he rallied and shot past Stell and held a 150-vote lead.

An email from Herald prep sports editor Aaron Swaney, sent Tuesday morning, states:

Voting ended yesterday so it seems Jake won the fan vote for player of the week.

Except, the Herald hasn’t actually frozen the vote and Marysville (2012 census population of 62,402) has now shot Stell back ahead 1,468-1,344 (no one else has more than 199 votes), while Coupeville (2012 census population of 1,865) is like, “What? We won! Give us a freakin’ break!!”

So, we’re playing Chicago rules, then?

I call on every man, woman and child on Whidbey Island, especially Oak Harbor fans, who have no love for Marysville, to vote, vote, vote.

One Whidbey, united, kickin’ Marysville’s fanny.

Or, email the Herald at aswaney@heraldnet.com and ask him to acknowledge on the web site that Tumblin won.

This is not over, Marysville. We got the equivalent of votes from 72% of the town. You got 0.02%.

You already lost.
