The camera is a restless beast.

When action isn’t happening on the hard-court, rovin’ photo man John Fisken likes to go hunting for pics wherever he can find them.

Then, he delivers them unto us, a merry medley of band, cheer, fans, wandering babies and Sour Patch Kids bribes, and we are better for it.

Even if we didn’t get any candy ourselves…

Cheerleaders, camera. Camera, cheerleaders.

Travelin’ photo man John Fisken clicked away merrily Wednesday as CHS hosted a season-opening basketball doubleheader, but not all the photos made it from his camera to my computer … until now.

The pics above capture the Wolf cheer squad in brief moments of rest, as they were on their feet and hard at work the other 99.2% of the night.

Best way to kick off a new season?

Portrait night.

With basketball returning to the CHS gym Wednesday, the Wolf winter cheer squad made its debut on the sidelines as well, and travelin’ photo man John Fisken was there to document the proceedings.

By the time he was done clicking, we had these extra-glossy, suitable-for-framing photos of the 10 young women who are repping the red and black this season.

To all the mamas and grandmas out there, you’re welcome.

You can’t tell the players without a roster.

And, since the Coupeville High School winter cheer squad doesn’t have numbers on their uniforms, we’re going a step further and giving you a photographic look at all 10 Wolves.

That way you’ll know who’s who before the eternally loud ‘n proud squad hit the courts for the first home basketball games Wednesday night.

The roster, which is cut down from a 30+ girl football cheer squad, is actually a big step up from last year, when only five girls were full-time cheerleaders.

Leading the way for CHS cheer coach Cheridan Eck are captains Jovanah Foote and Robin Cedillo.

Also hitting the hard-court sidelines will be Heather Nastali, Gaby Halpin, Mckenzie Meyer, Kaela Hollrigel, Julia Borges, Claire Mietus, Julie Bucio and Natasha Estes.
