Apparently the three-year break didn’t hurt her all that badly.

Despite not playing basketball competitively since her freshman year in high school, former Wolf Madeline Roberts continues to put up numbers at Shoreline Community College.

Roberts, who is a freshman scholarship softball player for the Dolphins, is one of five players to have seen floor time in all of the school’s 13 womens’ hoops games this season.

She has amassed 22 points, 23 rebounds, 12 steals, two assists and a blocked shot (Roberts may be listed at five-foot-four, but it’s a feisty, rise-up-and-deny-the-shooter five-foot four).

And, if nothing else, all that basketball action keeps her in shape for her true sport.

Sophomores, makin’ their parents proud. Left to right, the always-stylish Jimmy Myers, Jonathan Thurston, Uriel Liquidano and Aiden Crimmins.

Wolf cheerleaders (l to r) Camilla Rische, Ciera St Onge, Elizabeth Bishop and Jovanah Foote, already full of pep hours before the game.

And repping the night’s Black Out theme.

Middle school basketball stars cheer on their older counterparts.

“We’re here all night, baby!!”

“They broke my camera…”

Sometimes the cameraman likes to wander.

You can only snap so many shots of basketball players at work before you need to shake things up a bit and spin the clicker towards the audience.

Fueled up by dangerously-high levels of Diet Coke, travelin’ photo man John Fisken delivered these snaps from Wednesday night’s home hoops doubleheader.

Bask in the glow.

The future of Wolf athletics, already on good terms with the camera man.

Landon Roberts suddenly gets camera shy for the first time in his life.

Anthony “Blue Steel” Bergeron, not so much.

Action on the court, action off the court.

While Coupeville and South Whidbey waged war over the course of four games Monday night, John Fisken’s roving camera also caught the antics of fans in the stands.

From Wolf football players reminding the Falcons that they won this year’s football showdown to former CHS hoops star Anthony Bergeron launching his modeling career, there was something for everyone to see.

In the end, the camera will find you all.

I told you our refs sucked!!

Posted in Basketball, Refs, tagged bad refs, Basketball, Deadspin, Whidbey Island on January 6, 2015| Leave a Comment »

Mr. Ed is crying inside. “Dang it, if a ref was gonna make the national scene for being obtuse, I thought it would be me!!”

Our secret is out.

Thanks to the next-level muckrakers at Deadspin, the whole world is learning the truth — basketball refs working on Whidbey Island might not be the best the business has to offer.

For every time we here in Coupeville have complained about the gum-chomping, overly-preening “Mr. Ed” and his band of merry miscreants, at least they have never answered a cell phone and talked on it for a minute while a game was being played in front of them.

And yet, that’s just what one ref did recently at a game between Oak Harbor Middle School and North Whidbey Middle School.

Seriously.

No, really.

Doubt me? Jump over and see the proof:

“Don’t mind me, nothing to see … just gonna stroll on by you for a quick layup.” (John Fisken photos)

Much respect to this unnamed female warrior — the only woman in the tournament it seems. Every other picture shows her cold-cocking folks on ‘d’, so she held her own nicely.

Jason McFadyen, slicin’ ‘n dicin’, old school style.

Jordan Schisel lets the Wolf kiss the ball for good luck as he goes in for two.

Current Wolf stars Wynter Thorne and Joel Walstad never pass up a photo op. Ever.

Look up the phrase “going up strong in the paint” in the dictionary. This photo is there.

“Dang son, gotta be quicker than that to catch me!!”

Nick Streubel, a lineman with a soft shooting touch.

You thought we were done? You were wrong.

OK … now we’re done.

Putting the final capper on another successful Tom Roehl Roundball Classic, we present one final medley of John Fisken photos from Saturday’s hoops extravaganza.

The action was hot ‘n heavy, the camera madly clickin’.
