Some people are star athletes. Others are good at taking photos. Only a few can do both. Kacie Kiel, American Badass, ladies and gentlemen. (John Fisken photos)
Freshman phenom Katrina McGranahan glides through a defensive drill.
McKenzie Bailey, scorin’ buckets all day long.
Julia Myers (right) and Lauren Rose can not be broken by mere conditioning drills, fool!
Sophomore sensation Lauren Grove, pretending she doesn’t hear the sound of her kneecap screaming in protest.
CHS hoops guru David King discussing dance moves. Or defensive stances. Yeah, probably dance moves.

“We survived Day #1!!”
“And we still have our smiles!! Can’t feel our legs, maybe, but still smilin’!!”
There is one huge difference between male and female high school athletes.
It’s called a smile.
High school boys have been taught that you need to look tough in your team photos, or else you’ll look weak.
The next guy to ever smile in a wrestling team photo will be the first … ever.
Female athletes, on the other hand, feel no such qualms.
You can put them through the hardest practice, those days of conditioning, running lines and working on defensive positioning and, if they see a camera wandering by, they will still light up like a million Christmas lights.
At least that’s true in Coupeville, where the Wolf girls have never met a photo op they would turn down.
Superstars, one and all.
