“I’m just … hair … so I won’t get fined”

“Eh, it’s OK, but man Lyla, when I was his age, my hair was straight fire!!” “Daaaaaaaadddd…”

John Fisken may be obsessed with Nick Guay.

Just sayin’…

The wanderin’ photo clicker captured a whole bunch of pics featuring the lanky Coupeville High School senior Tuesday as he helped lead the Wolves in thrashing South Whidbey.

Maybe it’s Guay’s mad hoops skills.

Or maybe it’s his photo-ready mane of hair, practically begging to sign its own contract with L’Oreal’s men’s division.

I mean, if they made a biography of Guay, would they take the title of Kevin Bacon’s 1994 hoops flick, add an H and make it “The Hair Up There?”

Yes, yes, I’ll see myself out now.

“Fire in the hole!”

“Sweet mama!! My tender vittles!!”

“This hurts a lot less than the last play…”

Off to conquer new worlds (and book that shampoo ad).

But first, a smile of approval from mom Dina (left).

The numbers keep trending up.

Heading into a busy week of basketball, there are now eight Wolves who have cracked 100 points this season — six boys and two girls.

Logan Downes, who reached #1 on the Coupeville High School boys’ basketball career scoring chart Saturday, is, not surprisingly, our top scorer this season.

Sitting at #2 is sophomore Camden Glover, who leads an explosive JV squad which features three 100+ point scorers, and two more guys close to joining them.

Overall, CHS hoops stars have combined to rain down 2,237 points this season, of which 2,211 are fully accounted for in our stats watch.

Tension mounts.

Another week in the books, and the end of the regular season looms for Northwest 2B/1B League basketball teams.

Coupeville sits with 15 games played, and five more on the schedule, meaning the upcoming week will be a busy one.

The Wolf boys, battling for league supremacy with La Conner and Mount Vernon Christian, welcome Concrete to town Tuesday, then wrap the week with a pair of non-conference tilts.

South Whidbey travels to Cow Town Wednesday for a makeup game, before Brad Sherman’s squad hops on the bus Saturday to go play Chief Leschi in Puyallup.

For the Wolf girls, it’s a two-game week, as Megan Richter’s team hosts Concrete and travels to Chief Leschi.

As we count down the minutes until tipoff, where things sit through Jan. 21:

 

Northwest League boys’ basketball:

School League Overall
La Conner 4-0 11-5
MV Christian 6-1 6-10
Coupeville 4-1 11-4
Orcas Island 3-3 6-9

Friday Harbor 0-3 4-9
Darrington 0-6 4-10

Mia Farris shoots and scores, and she snaps and scores.

The Coupeville High School junior is a deadly markswoman while livin’ large on the hardwood, and a talented photographer while patrolling the sidelines.

The pics above and below come to us courtesy the Wolf ace, while the last pic puts her own face front and center thanks to fellow yearbook supernova Bailey Thule.

“You’re going out there a rookie, and coming back a bright, shining superstar, Mia! Any other photographers get in your way, you knee them right in the nads!” (Bailey Thule photo)

Wolves, ‘Canes unite for cancer fight

Posted in Basketball, Fundraisers, tagged , , , , on January 18, 2024| Leave a Comment »

Rivals on the court, partners off the floor.

Depending on how fast the snow melts, Coupeville High School basketball is primed to welcome Mount Vernon Christian to town Friday for big Northwest 2B/1B League showdown games.

While the Wolves and Hurricanes will clash on the hardwood, they are uniting to raise money for the fight against cancer.

Those dollar bills will go to the Jimmy V Foundation, which honors late college basketball coach Jimmy Valvano, who waged a furious fight with the disease.

The two schools are uniting to wear shirts which reflect the night’s message, as reflected in the photo above.

There will also be a large poster in the CHS gym hallway on which people can write messages of support for those fighting all the forms of cancer.
