When he’s not busy working as the Island County Coroner, Robert Bishop lives a second life.

In that time, he’s a camera-clickin’ paparazzi who can be often found haunting the games his daughter, Coupeville High School senior Breeanna Messner, plays in.

Tuesday night she and her Wolf girls’ basketball teammates tipped off with visiting Cedarcrest, and Bishop was on the scene to capture the moments, big and small, that go into a night of high school hoops.

Wolf cheer captain takes bad tumble!!

Emilee Crichton: Best of the best

Emilee Crichton: Best of the best

Emilee Crichton is used to tumbling, but not like this.

The Coupeville High School senior, a captain on the Wolf cheer squad, suffered a badly bruised kidney and chest wall Wednesday after a hard fall.

The fall did NOT take place during cheer, but I am prohibited from telling you where or how she fell or the slightly embarrassed Ms. Crichton, who is my next door neighbor, has implied she might send me on a similar fall.

The injury will sideline her from leading her cheer squad for several weeks at least, and possibly the remainder of the basketball season, said mom Vicki Crichton-Wells.

“She hit very hard,” said Crichton-Wells. “We took her to the ER after school and thank goodness no broken ribs.

“Doc said she is grounded for at least two weeks,” she added. “We are just glad she is OK.”

Even when she was potentially knocked loopy, Crichton knew that wasn’t enough to avoid going toe-to-toe with Coupeville’s #1 education enforcer.

“Dang kid still wanted to go to school,” said her mom. “Didn’t want to miss English, she said, because Mrs. Ballard was giving them a new essay…”

Madeline Roberts already knows where she’ll be playing softball next year,

The Coupeville High School senior, who still has a season left in the red and black, will sign a letter of intent soon to play for Shoreline Community College.

A slap-hitting leadoff hitter with speed and superb bat control, Roberts can play multiple positions in the infield and outfield and has been a key player for the Wolves.

Also a cheerleader for CHS, she has devoted herself to softball, traveling with Wolf teammate Hailey Hammer to play with a select team during the off-season.

Shoreline, whose mascot is the Dolphin, is coached by E. Bryan Johnson and plays in the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges.

Roberts parents are Jay (Jennifer) Roberts and Lisa (Stephen) Roberts-Edlin.

They are here, and they will dance.

Jumping into a new season, 15 Coupeville High School girls have made the transition from the fall cheer squad to the winter team.

Led by coach Cheridan Eck, the now much-warmer Wolves (having moved from the frosty football field into the CHS gymnasium for basketball games) have also busted out a lot more dance moves.

While they’re on a temporary vacation right now, with winter break kicking off yesterday with the brief smattering of snow to hit town, the Wolf cheerleaders will return Friday, Jan. 3, when hoops play comes back.

La Conner comes to town that day for a b-ball doubleheader, with the boys tipping off at 5 PM and the girls scheduled for 6:45.

Performing during both games as Coupeville and South Whidbey waged a basketball doubleheader, the Wolf cheerleaders stayed loud, proud and peppy for close to four hours.

Plus, they put on not one, but two Christmas-inspired halftime performances.

Capturing a slice of their hard work was photo guy John Fisken, who delivered the pics above unto Wolf Nation.
