A trio for the win.

Three multi-sport stars claimed awards Monday night, with Coupeville High School seniors Maddie GeorgesAlita Blouin, and Aidan Wilson receiving the Cliff Gillies Award.

That honor, handed out by schools across the state, is named for a former longtime Executive Director of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.

It recognizes student/athletes who excel in scholarship, citizenship, and participation in activities.

Georges and Blouin were team captains for Wolf volleyball and basketball teams, with the duo selected to participate in the 1B/2B/1A All-State volleyball games.

Both were First-Team All-Conference selections as well, with Blouin honored for her play as a libero and Georges as a setter.

Maddie Georges made the All-Conference team in volleyball and basketball.

When basketball season rolled around, both players lit up the bucket.

Blouin led the Wolves in scoring, singing the nets for 204 points, while Georges, who finished as the #24 career scorer in program history, was tabbed as a Second-Team All-Conference player.

Wilson opened his senior year by scoring a team-high 10 goals on the soccer pitch, notching First-Team All-Conference honors.

Aidan Wilson soars to new heights.

Wilson came back around in the spring to claim three medals at the state track and field championships.

He finished 2nd in the 800 and 5th in the triple jump, before running a leg on a 2nd place 4 x 100 relay unit which missed a state title by the blink of an eye.

The Wolf ace wrapped things up by competing in the 51st annual Dennis McDonald Multi Events State Championship this past weekend.

While there, Wilson finished 7th out of 32 competitors in a two-day, 10-event decathlon.

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.

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.
