CHS cheer coach Cheridan Eck

Their numbers are down, but their enthusiasm is always up.

The move inside from the football gridiron to the basketball hardwood has shrunk the Coupeville High School cheer squad from the 20’s to a still very-committed six girls.

Whatever they lack in numbers is made up for in their ability to light up the crowd through their yells and dance moves.

Next time you’re at a Wolf basketball game, take a moment to give them a hand.

P.S. — Payton Wilson was not there the day these photos were taken, which is why she’s missing from our lineup. She gets equal props, if no photo.

Sydney Autio swoops in for the hug.

And the duo lose it in a giggle fit.

Proud mamas Elaina Kiel and Arnold.

The smile never fades.

Sylvia Arnold retired last season after 20 years as Coupeville High School cheer coach, but the mega-watt grin that lit up the football field is still on display.

Swinging by a recent Wolf basketball game, she bestowed the smile o’ approval on a number of people, and lurking photo man John Fisken was there to capture the moments.

Bask in the afterglow.

Lighting up the universe, one cheer at a time!!

Cheridan Eck

Cheer for Cheridan, cause she’d cheer for you.

Today marks the birthday of one of the peppiest people on the face of the Earth, CHS cheer coach Cheridan Eck.

A former Seattle Sonics dancer who has brought her love of dance to the high school athletic scene, she is one of the brightest, most personable people you’ll ever meet.

Whether working with her high school girls or teaching cheer to future generations of Wolves when the elementary school kids get their taste of pom poms and routines each season, she is the Energizer Rabbit come to life.

And, even when you think she’s standing still for a moment, she’s not.

During performances she silently mimics every move and cheer, pulling them off (of course) flawlessly.

After 20 years of the original Energizer Rabbit, legendary CHS cheer coach Sylvia Arnold, anyone following in her footsteps would have a tough job.

From all signs, it appears Cheridan is pulling it off the same way she does everything — with grace, good cheer, boundless energy and a willingness to outwork and out-hustle at all times.

Coupeville is lucky to have her, our very own bright shining star lighting up the universe around her every step of the way.

Happy birthday, Cheridan.

Wolf cheer captain Kylie Marie has spirit. Do you? (John Fisken photos)

A young cheerleader is not so sure about this whole camera in her face thing.

Calm and serene before her performance, the words of Matthew McConaughey running through her mind. “Alright, alright, alright.”

CHS cheerleaders stand at attention during the national anthem.

“I’m waving them like I just don’t care … but I do care. I do!!”

“I have two pom poms and I’m not afraid to use them!”

Ayanna Jeter prepares to fly.

Just hanging out, waiting for their moment in the spotlight.

“How YOU doin’?”

Robin Cedillo’s smile lights up the entire prairie.

Cheridan Eck is the Energizer bunny come to life.

As Friday night’s CHS Homecoming festivities played out, the Wolf cheer coach had already put in a long day.

You would never know it, however, as she bounced along to her team’s performance, watching every move with an eagle eye from the press box, mentally urging on her girls as they worked with a group of junior cheerleaders.

As her combined forces brought their performance to what seemed like a fairly flawless close, Eck jumped up, clapped her hands and mouthed a low “YES!!”

And then she was off to do the other million things she would accomplish before bedtime.
