It’s simple.

Purchase photos, help fund scholarships for Coupeville High School student athletes.

John Fisken, who shoots sports locally, handed out $500 scholarships to Oak Harbor High School athletes Ciera Wiser and Josh Crebbin Friday. Next year, he’d like to do the same in Central Whidbey.

A portion of money raised when people purchase photos from Wolf sports events that Fisken shoots for CascadeAthletics.com next school year will go to fund the prospective scholarships.

They are designed to reward students who may not be their team’s star, but play year in and year out and participate in multiple sports.

Wiser competed in track and basketball for the Wildcats, while Crebbin, son of recently retired CHS volleyball coach Toni Crebbin, played football and soccer, ran track and wrestled.

Crebbin, who was also Oak Harbor’s Male Athlete of the Year and won the Cliff Gillies Award, will attend Washington State University, where he’ll study architecture, while Wiser is going to Western Washington University.

She plans to earn a law degree and specialize in environmental law.

Ten-Hut! Military honors Wolf senior athletes!!

Awards season neared an end Tuesday night.

Somewhere out there in the near future, there’s still letters and team awards to be handed out to the track and field team, but, as graduation roars up on Coupeville High School, all the big trophies, plaques and handshakes have been delivered.

Among the awards handed out Tuesday were four aimed at senior athletes.

Sponsored by military branches, they’re a semi-sneaky way for the armed services to get their name on campus, while not requiring any administrators or athletes to officially endorse the military.

Madison Tisa McPhee and Nathan Lamb were picked for the U.S. Marine Corps Distinguished Athlete Award, while the U.S. Army Reserve National Scholar/Athlete Award went to Haley Marx and Luke Pelant.

Weird coincidence: all four played soccer.

Tisa McPhee was also a sensational track star, bringing home two medals from the 1A state track meet (3rd in the 100 hurdles, 5th in the 4 x 200).

Lamb was the #1 player on the Wolf boys’ tennis squad and Marx was a co-captain on the girls’ basketball team.

It was a banner night for the seniors.

The Class of 2013 claimed all four major sports-related honors announced Thursday night by Coupeville High School Athletic Director Lori Stolee.

The memory of Danny Savalza and Amanda d’Almeida will live on in the hallway leading into the CHS gym, where their framed photos will join past winners of the school’s highest athletic honor, the Athlete of the Year.

d’Almeida was a three-time district doubles champ in tennis and made a great final run as a singles player this spring, while also leading the Wolf girls’ soccer team in the fall.

A 4.0 student, she has accepted a scholarship to play soccer at Carleton College in Minnesota.

Savalza played football and soccer, but his impact was also felt off the field. The leader of the Wolf student cheering section, he could rally an entire gym, clad in his (unwashed) thrift store dress and Bow Down hat.

Joining them in hauling away awards were Bessie Walstad and Drew Chan, who were selected for the Cliff Gillies Student Awards.

The honor, named for a longtime principal and executive director of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, go to student/athletes who combine “scholarship, citizenship and participation.”

Walstad was a team captain in volleyball, basketball and softball, while Chan performed the same duties in basketball and baseball.

Breeanna Messner, Coupeville High School’s only four-sport athlete. (Shelli Trumbull photo)

Breeanna Messner was the hardest-working athlete at Coupeville High School this year.

Unlike the olden days (say, the ’80s and ’90s), when virtually everyone played three sports, only 18 Wolves played for three sports teams in 2012-2013.

Heading that list was Messner, the only three-sport athlete to also be on the CHS cheer squad, which meant she juggled two teams in the fall. A key contributor for every one of her teams, the junior proved you can be good at a lot of things (old school style) as opposed to fanatically playing just one sport (new school style).

At a small school like Coupeville, you wish more athletes would make that all-year commitment.

But, proving 2013 is a lot different than 1983, only TWO seniors played three sports, and not a single male athlete completed what used to be viewed as the “standard” season — football, basketball, baseball.

While there are legitimate reasons some couldn’t, or wouldn’t, do so (injuries, academic issues, no desire to play basketball, Coupeville’s only winter sport), we have come here today to hail those who did put out the effort, season after season.

With an eye to the future, the fact 13 of the 18 athletes were freshmen or sophomores speaks well for a possible resurgence of what was once taken for granted — the multi-sport athlete. Or it just means they haven’t burnt out yet.

The 2012-2013 Iron Men and Women of CHS:

Seniors:

Caleb Valko (football, basketball, track)
Bessie Walstad (volleyball, basketball, softball)

Juniors:

Ben Etzell (tennis, basketball, baseball)
Breeanna Messner (volleyball, cheer, basketball, softball)
Nick Streubel (football, basketball, track)

Sophomores:

McKayla Bailey (soccer, basketball, softball)
Aaron Curtin (tennis, basketball, baseball)
Hailey Hammer (volleyball, basketball, softball)
Oscar Liquidano (football, basketball, soccer)
Carson Risner (football, basketball, track)
Madeline Strasburg (volleyball, basketball, softball)
Monica Vidoni (volleyball, basketball, softball)

Freshmen:

McKenzie Bailey (volleyball, basketball, tennis)
Miranda Engle (volleyball, basketball, tennis)
Jared Helmstadter (tennis, basketball, track)
Dalton Martin (football, basketball, track)
Samantha Martin (volleyball, basketball, tennis)
Makana Stone (soccer, basketball, track)

P.S. — If Coupeville considered cheer a sport (which it should, but doesn’t), six girls would join the three-sport club:

Sydney Aparicio (cheer, volleyball, softball)
Lauren Escalle (cheer, volleyball, basketball)
Amanda Fabrizi (cheer, volleyball, basketball)
Julia Felici (cheer, basketball, softball)
Jai’Lysa Hoskins (cheer, basketball, track)
Iris Ryckaert (cheer, volleyball, tennis)

Posted in Boys Soccer, Happy birthday on May 28, 2013| Leave a Comment »

“It’s a bird! It’s a plane!! It’s Super Zane!!!” (John Fisken photo)

Zane Bundy turns 15 today.

Let that sink in.

The little kid who used to hang out at Videoville, the slightly older little kid who used to hang out at David’s DVD Den, will be a sophomore at Coupeville High School next fall.

Oh, and he can fly now too. So there’s that.
