The school’s Athlete of the Year wall has been updated, as well.

They spiffed up the joint.

Coupeville High School Athletic Director Willie Smith and Wolf boys’ basketball coach Brad Sherman have been hard at work in the gym, and it shows.

The school’s display recognizing its Athlete of the Year winners has been updated, with photos added to cover every honoree.

There’s also a new twist, with a display called “Onward Coupeville” recognizing former Wolves who are currently playing at the next level.

That includes professional basketball star Makana Stone, who just wrapped her season in Norway, semi-pro football QB Dawson Houston, and a bevy of college athletes.

The display is set up so it can be updated as other CHS grads make the move to college, semi-pro, or prfessional sports.

The updates and new display bring a sparkle to the gym hallway, while proving once again Smith can always find a new project to add to the 17,000 he’s already doing.

Cause he loves it when a plan comes together.

“In the words of the great Canadian, (TV star) Red Green, if they don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!” the AD said with a chuckle.

You had me at pizza and cake.

The booster club is holding an athlete appreciation dinner Thursday for Coupeville High School athletes.

Things go down starting at 6:00 PM in the school’s commons, with cake, pizza, games, and gifts on the menu.

Any CHS student who played a sport during the 2022-2023 school year — be it fall, winter, or spring — is invited.

In addition to the free food and gifts, there will be two guest speakers with strong Wolf ties.

Dane Lucero played football, basketball, and baseball for Coupeville, and just graduated from Washington State University.

Kassie O’Neil, currently the JV girls’ basketball coach at CHS, is among the most cold-blooded hoops killers in school history.

She repeatedly made King’s basketball fans cry expensive tears back in the day when she routinely drilled buzzer-beaters against the Knights, which is why she shall forever be known as Killer Kassie.

The athlete appreciation dinner was a yearly event, until the pandemic knocked if off the schedule for a bit.

“We are very excited to bring it back!” said Booster Club board member Jess Lucero.

CHS excels on field, in classroom

Posted in awards, tagged , , , , on April 8, 2023| Leave a Comment »

We’re still in the thick of things.

With two of three seasons complete during the 2022-2023 school year, Coupeville High School remains firmly wedged into the top five in the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association Scholastic Cup rankings.

With spring sports left to play out, CHS is tied with Napavine, just off of Asotin.

Saint George’s, Okanogan, and Liberty round out the top three.

The Scholastic Cup honors prep athletes for classroom performance as well as sports prowess.

Points are awarded for those who advance to the state championships, such as Wolf football and cross country, with academic success a major component of the process.

Coupeville’s biggest bonanza so far is the 100 points its girls’ cross country squad netted for being state academic champs.

Schools also receive points for sportsmanship and can be dinged for ejections.

One school in each classification, from 4A-1B, will receive the Scholastic Cup after the completion of spring sports.

Academics. Athletics. Excellence.

Achieving high standards, Coupeville High School is ranked third out of 61 schools in the 2B classification in the first Scholastic Cup standings.

The rankings, which are compiled by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, “recognize performance in the classroom as well as on the playing surface.”

Team athletic performances at the state tournament level of competition matters, as does team academic performance, and school-wide sportsmanship.

Coupeville notched 355 points for the fall season, placing them behind just Saint George’s (585) and Okanogan (435).

Cle Elum-Roslyn and Liberty (Spangle) round out the current top five with 240 points.

Coupeville’s points came courtesy a number of teams.

The girls’ cross country squad collected 100 points for being the 2B scholastic state champs, and another 30 points for finishing 8th as a team at the state meet.

Wolf boys’ soccer picked up 80 points for having the second-best GPA among 2B teams, while Coupeville’s female booters brought in 30 for placing 7th in the classroom.

Football’s first trip to the state playoffs since 1990 was worth 20 points, while the gridiron giants earned another 30 points for being the 8th best scholastic squad in the classification.

Rounding out the effort, boys’ cross country notched 40 points for a 5th place GPA showing, while Coupeville’s athletic programs were handed another 25 points for school-wide sportsmanship.

Scholastic Cup standings will be updated after the winter season, with the winning schools announced at the end of spring sports.
