Three for three.

When the Coupeville Lions Club honored its CHS Students of the Quarter Wednesday, there were three teenagers on hand instead of the normal two.

A rare tie in the voting process capped the third quarter of the 2023-2024 school year, so the more, the merrier.

The Lions honored Reina Reed, Andrew Williams, and Logan Downes.

CHS seniors are eligible for the award, with staff and teachers voting on the recipients.

Things taken into consideration include attitude, leadership, scholarship, community service, sportsmanship, inspiration, contributions to school, and congeniality.

The Coupeville Lions have a long, proud tradition of honoring local students, having done so for more than 80 years.

Last year, the service group awarded $50,000 in scholarships to Wolf grads.

As each school year progresses, the Lions honor two (or sometimes three) students each quarter, with two of those honorees later being hailed as the Students of the Year.

For quarter three, the winners are:

Logan Downes:

The all-time leading scorer in CHS boys’ basketball history was also a First-Team All-League pick as a record-setting quarterback during football season.

A member of the Captain’s Club who enjoys his Advanced Placement Government and Physics Class, Downes put in community service as a ref with Coupeville Youth Basketball and as a frequent volunteer.

He worked at the elementary school, in the concession stand at sports events, and at the Penn Cove Mussel Fest.

The youngest of Ralph and Angie’s three sons, Logan is an avid outdoorsman who plans to attend a four-year college and pursue a career as a Fish and Wildlife Officer.

Reina Reed:

A former baseball player and cheerleader, Reed is a member of the Lions Club Leos and enjoys studying coding and chemistry.

The daughter of Christopher and Jessica, she works as a student assistant in the CHS office and plans to study science at Western Washington University.

As a member of the Wolf cheer squad, Reina has been active in both sideline and competition cheer.

Andrew Williams:

A prolific athlete (soccer, basketball, baseball) and member of the jazz band, he rocks a 4.0 GPA and is in the National Honor Society.

Zaneita and Matthew’s son is a Dairy Queen manager and enjoys working out and playing multiple musical instruments.

A volunteer at the elementary school, he also has helped with Race the Reserve, Ragnar, and Mussel Fest.

Andrew, who enjoys studying science and doing woodworking, plans to major in Engineering.
