They may not know how to spell his last name, but Logan Downes is already a star, following in the footsteps of older brothers Hunter and Sage.

A new season kicked off Monday.

The Oak Harbor Youth Football and Cheer League hit the gridiron to start practice and travelin’ photo man John Fisken was on hand to click away.

Seven Coupeville Elementary School students are signed up for the league this season, with four football players and three cheerleaders.

Five of the seven fall in the Pee Wees category (ages 7-8) while the other two call the Midget class (9-10) home.

   Six cheerleaders, one car. L to r, it’s Robin Cedillo, Moira Reed, Jovanah Foote, Tomi Herrera, Andrea O’ Brochta and Sylvia Hurlburt.

It’s camping season.

Both the Coupeville High School boys’ and girls’ basketball teams have hit camps, and now the Wolf cheerleaders are off to fine-tune their skill set.

The destination?

The Great Wolf Lodge in Centralia for a UCA cheer camp.

Wolves going to a lodge named after them, where they will likely out-howl and out-stunt everyone in sight?

It’s their (cheer) destiny.

Birthday fever rages through Cow Town!!

Three days, three birthdays, triple the birthday cake (I assume).

Wolf Nation is on constant cake alert for a couple of days, as two Wolf athletes and a soccer mom who is one of the school’s most vocal supporters, all hit milestones.

Saturday, it’s CHS sophomore Ethan Marx, who has played tennis and baseball and is following in the successful footsteps of big sis Haley.

He’s already making his own name, however, nabbing Most Improved when the Wolf netters handed out awards in the fall.

Roll into Sunday and Dawn Brock, the ultimate soccer homer (and I mean that in a good way), celebrates.

She’s given Coupeville two strong soccer players, Nathan and Tanner Kircher, but it’s her vocal stylings that truly set her apart.

Loud ‘n proud, and fiercely devoted to her all of her soccer guys (whether they be blood relatives or not), she can scare a ref and spur on her team at the same time, without missing a beat.

If other CHS athletic teams were smart, they’d rent her services for their games.

Cause no one (and I mean NO ONE) out cheers Ms. Brock.

With Monday, school will be back in session and our birthday trifecta will come to a close with the coronation of irrepressible cheer sensation Maddy Neitzel.

The Wolf junior jumped into cheer this year feet first and made a huge splash.

She might not be the biggest, but she cheers from her heart, and that part of her is epic-sized.

Whether flying through the air or working the sidelines, Maddy is a burst of sunshine on even the drizzliest, foggiest Friday night and the Wolves are lucky to have her.

Even when she wasn’t cheering in uniform, she always showed up for basketball games with Jazmine Franklin, there to support their friends like Wiley Hesselgrave and Ryan Griggs as they played.

Neitzel, Brock and Marx are involved in different sports, but all three are united by their love for what they do.

They represent Coupeville well, and I hope their birthdays are as great as they are.

18 cheers for Amanda Foley!!

Amanda Foley

Amanda Foley

Amanda Foley overflows with talent.

The Coupeville High School senior, who celebrates a birthday today, does a little bit of everything and does it all supremely well.

Cheer, track, drama, band, ASB board and that’s just the start.

When I did a feature story on her in 2013 — https://coupevillesports.com/2013/09/01/cheerleading-isnt-just-short-skirts-and-big-smiles/ — it was easy to see she was a bright, brilliant young woman well on her way to accomplishing great things.

Today, as she nears graduation and plans for success at the next level — college and beyond — Foley remains one of the best this town has to offer.

Right now, as I write this, she is on a bus with her Wolf teammates, headed to another track meet.

I want to wish her the best — at the meet, on her birthday and in her boundless future.

You’re a bright shining star, Amanda.

Keep being yourself. Keep being super awesome.

Skip a coffee, help fund the future of Wolf cheer.

Coupeville’s Maddy and Amanda Neitzel have launched a GoFundMe fundraiser in an effort to raise $300 apiece to attend a top-level cheer camp this summer.

Maddy is already an award-winning cheerleader, having earned Most Improved honors after her first season on the football sidelines for CHS this past fall.

To discover more of her tale of becoming a first-time cheerleader, take a look back at a feature story I wrote on her, where she was kind enough to answer my questions and came off as a bright, personable young woman:
