So, here’s the plan.

Tomorrow, Saturday, Mar. 15, is David King’s birthday.

So, the much-revered Coupeville High School girls’ basketball and softball coach will probably be busy most of the day with cake-related business.

Which means he won’t be expecting anything to go down today.

Which is why everyone should go by the CHS softball field today after school, and, as you drive by, honk your horns and scream “Happy birthday, coach King!!”

You know you want to do it. You know you must do it.

You thought just cause the season was over, we had no more photos to run?

You thought wrong, skippy.

Bask in some more snaps courtesy traveling photo man John Fisken, and then, and then only, are we done with the Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball season.

Birthdays, birthdays as far as the eye can see.

Birthdays, birthdays as far as the eye can see.

And on March 13, the entire Wolf Nation was born.

OK, maybe not the ENTIRE thing, but a considerable chunk, that’s for sure.

Sharing today as their date of birth are former Coupeville High School Male Athlete of the Year Danny Savalza, golf sensation Austin Fields, foreign exchange multi-sport wonder Sophia Jebrail and big-time Wolf fan (and father of three CHS star athletes — two current and one to come) Randy Payne.

Someone, somewhere, is having cake today. That’s all I’m saying.

If you need to get rid of any of said cake, I’ll be working lunch and dinner shifts at Christopher’s on Whidbey Thursday.

Ask for David.

Radar locks in and…

we have contact.

we have contact.

There are certain cultures where people don’t want their photographs taken, as they believe it steals their souls.

McKayla Bailey would have a really, really rough time living in those cultures.

The undisputed reigning Photo Bomb Queen of Coupeville High School (former champ Taya Boonstra is in exile, off the Island in college, these days) has an uncanny knack for hearing the smallest, quietest click of a camera.

If you shoot it, she will be there.

And that’s a guarantee.

They went out with a bang.

Closing their season, both of Coupeville Middle School’s varsity girls’ basketball teams thumped host Langley Wednesday.

The Wolf 8th grade varsity came out on top 28-22, while the 7th graders rolled to an impressive 33-20 victory over their Whidbey rivals.

The Falcons got a bit of revenge in the JV games, pulling out 12-6 and 6-5 wins.

A season of big wins and big growth now comes to a close, but the ride was worth it for CMS coaches Bob Martin, Brett Smedley, Ryan King and Christine Wright.

“We are so proud of all the girls!,” Martin said. “Wrapped up the season on very well played defensive games!”
