It’s the sound of spirit.

Coupeville High School cheerleaders remain among the hardest-working athletes in Wolf Nation, both on game day and at practice.

With road football games the next two weeks, it’ll be a bit before the spirit squad is back front and center at Mickey Clark Field.

But that time will come, with the Homecoming game Oct. 13 and Senior Night Oct. 27.

Until then, a photographic look at the Wolves in action.

Wolf cheer lights up big stage

The Wolves were ready for their closeup.

A day after leading the way during Coupeville’s rout of La Conner, the CHS cheerleaders trekked to Seattle to be part of Spirit Day at the University of Washington.

The Wolves were part of a massive 450-cheerleader halftime performance, and were on the sidelines when the nationally ranked Huskies scored a touchdown against Cal.

That earned Coupeville’s squad an appearance on ESPN.

Live, on your TV.

Friday night, the current Wolf cheerleaders worked with young kids from their hometown. Saturday, they got to recreate the experience, while shifting roles.

“It’s basically junior cheer for high school,” CHS coach Jennifer Morrell said with a laugh.

Along with the halftime show, the event also included a pep rally by the U-Dub spirit team and the band before kickoff.

Coupeville cheer was repped by Gabe Reed, Jayden Cooks, Layla Heo, Hayley Thomas, Emma Garcia, Bella Karr, Isabella Schooley, Kassidy Upchurch, Pamela Morrell, Miles Gerber, Rafa Silva De Campos Conceicao, and Jacob Schooley.

Triple digits, we’re talking triple digits.

There were 101 athletes (or was it 103?) on the field Friday night for Coupeville’s annual Junior Cheer performance, and that’s not counting the current Wolf spirit leaders.

Under the guidance of CHS cheer alumni Sylvia Arnold and Cavan Simonson, nearly every child of a certain age charged on to the gridiron as parents recorded the performance on their phones.

And yes, it got kind of loud on the prairie.

Of that you can be sure.

The cameras never stop clicking.

A vast army of photo-happy paparazzi stalk the sidelines of Wolf games, snapping pics and allowing me to use their work here on Coupeville Sports.

Since I’m a writer and not a photographer, it’s a great deal for me, and one I appreciate.

They make the noise that fires up Wolf Nation.

Coupeville High School cheerleaders put in the work day after day, honing their skills and prepping for both Friday Night Lights and upcoming competitions.

As they do, take a moment to gaze upon a collection of photos snapped by Jackie Saia, Bailey Thule, and Cole White.
