“All of high school this team has been a place for me to go to, to feel loved and accepted.”

Abbigail Bond was speaking for herself, but it’s a sentiment shared by the other four seniors on the Coupeville High School cheer squad.

“I love you all so much, and I wouldn’t be here without you,” added Miles Gerber, while Avery Williams-Buchanan offered “I have felt incredibly supported by my whole team, family and friends.”

One team, one dream — a loud ‘n proud squad keeping spirits flying high in Wolf Nation.

“We are … BIG RED!!”

Following in the footsteps of their heroes, Coupeville’s Junior Cheer participants — all 100 or so of them — lit up Mickey Clark Field last Saturday.

If history plays out as before, many of these young athletes will stick with the sport and one day join the CHS spirit squad themselves, keeping the circle of cheer going on and on.

The rain didn’t dampen their spirit.

The photos above and below capture two generations of Cow Town cheerleaders in action, showcasing current CHS students passing on their love of the sport to those who will follow in their footsteps.

They’re ready for their closeups.

As Coupeville High School football preps for a trip to South Whidbey Friday night to play the 16th edition of the Battle for the Bucket, we pause to pay tribute to the Wolf sideline crew.

Jennifer Morrell’s cheer squad is among the most vibrant in the land, through wins and losses.

Which will they get Friday in Langley? Only time will tell.

But, for the moment, fill some of your pre-game time by cheering on the cheerleaders.

Junior cheer preps for big show

Cheer is family.

That credo, nurtured over many years by former Coupeville High School spirit coach Sylvia Arnold, continues to reverberate down through the generations.

Now, the girls who once cheered for her are women, and they continue the job of spreading joy, love, and the skills required to live loud ‘n proud, supporting Wolf Nation in all its forms.

Current CHS cheer coach Jennifer Morrell is a proud alumnus, and three others from the sisterhood — Cavan Simonson, Kristina Williams, and Lynn Cosner — are currently hard at work preparing Coupeville’s youngest cheerleaders for their show-stopping performance.

Junior cheer, which is offered through the Spirit of Cheer Booster Club, raises funds for college scholarships which are then bestowed upon graduating seniors each year, keeping alive the “circle of cheer.”

This year’s performance is set for halftime of Coupeville’s football game with Adna, which is Saturday, Oct. 18. Game kickoff is 5:00 PM.
