Bursting with spirit are (l to r) Nicole Becker, Lucas Etzell and Jai’Lysa Hoskins.
Loud ‘n proud.
“Ooh, when I get off this bench, I’m coming for you all!!”
Sweetest smile, nastiest elbows in the biz.
Jai’Lysa Hoskins was born to be a cheerleader. Bright, personable, friendly, outgoing, full of spirit, with a laugh that could be heard across the gym.
But she was also a tough-as-nails competitor on the basketball court and track oval.
Blessed with lightning bolt speed, Hoskins helped Coupeville High School’s relay teams blitz to state medal-worthy times.
When it came to hit the hard-court, she laid down the wrath of her elbows on anyone stupid enough to get between her and a rebound.
Jai’Lysa would always pick up her opponents after they hit the ground, but she would make sure they often found that floor first.
You DID NOT try and take the ball away from her.
As the former Wolf great, one of the most joyful of CHS alumni, celebrates her 19th birthday today, we send Jai best wishes and turn to her close friend, Nicole Becker, for a few words on what Miss Hoskins means to her:
Today happens to be my best friend’s, partner in crime, jelly to my toast, milk to my cereal, laces to my shoes, my sister’s birthday.
17 years ago I was blessed to have her come into my life and amazingly today she’s stuck it out with me.
19 years ago you appeared in this world and have changed lives little by little.
Jai, I am so excited for what this year of life has in store for you and I love you ’til death do us part.
You’re my person. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Now let’s have fun!!
