Home from college, Hall o’ Famer Breeanna Messner (green coat) multitasks, doing mom Aimee Bishop’s hair while catching up with grandpa Paul Messner.

CHS sports legends Messner, Courtney Arnold (center) and Hailey Hammer compare graduation years.

“You guys are OLLLLLLLLLDDDDDD!”

CJ Smith has got this worked out. Hang around dance queen Sylvia Hurlburt, and the camera will come to you.

It’s a mini-reunion of the 2014-2015 league champ CHS girls’ hoops squad, as (l to r) Monica Vidoni, Wynter Thorne and Kacie Kiel make it back to town.

That moment when former CHS Athlete of the Year Aaron Curtin (far left) can’t decide whether he left the stove on or not.

“You go out and kick some butt for mama, lil’ pookie!!”

Sometimes I think they could skip playing the games altogether.

Just open the gym, put folks into the stands and let travelin’ photo man John Fisken loose with his camera, and all would be well.

Cause, long after the scores have faded, the pics remain, painting a portrait of Wolf Nation.

Kyla Briscoe (left), Tiffany Briscoe (middle) and Sarah Wright, old pros at pulling off synchronized camera muggin’.

Not being a band alumni, it took me a moment to get the point of the three guys hoodies. When I did (I’m sure you’ll get it quicker), I nodded and smiled.

Nick Etzell, traveling massage therapist, at your service.

Kalia Littlejohn (left) just wants a hug from big sis Mia.

Be careful what you wish for…

“Dear lord, please let this one go in. If you do, I’ll switch over to being a Steelers fan, the way you intended us to be.”

“Smart girl!!”

Kailey Kellner (left) and Ally Roberts have your mom on speed dial.

It’s all about the fans.

Well, sure, it’s also all about the basketball players (and we’ll have a smorgasbord of CHS boys’ hoops pics Sunday), but, at the moment, the spotlight — and the camera lens — is on the folks in the stands.

And, since a good chunk of them Friday night were super comfortable in front of the camera, all the better for travelin’ photo man John Fisken.

The photos above are courtesy him, the hardest-working Diet Coke fiend in all the land.

Kailey Kellner’s fan club is all in for their favorite long-range sniper.

The Wolf JV, mean-muggin’.

Super fans Emma Smith (#3 sign) and Ashley Menges are on hand to root for fellow frosh Ashlie Shank and Maddy Hilkey.

Senior class big wigs McKenzie Bailey (left) and Jazmine Franklin can run the school and still find time for a photo op. It’s called multitasking.

The CHS varsity, eternally loose before their game.

CHS football phenom Lathom Kelley (standing, backwards hat) makes sure his folks are ready to get loud.

“We’re coming for all the wins. All of them!!” Wolves (l to r) Tiffany Briscoe, Mia Littlejohn, Kailey Kellner and Roberts prepare to drop another butt-whuppin’.

The bar has been set, the mic has been dropped.

Given first crack at a substantial photo shoot this season, the Coupeville High School girls’ basketball team (and its fans) responded strongly.

Now, as the Wolf boys near their own date with destiny (in the form of a camera-wielding John Fisken) this Friday, when they host Concrete in a non-conference tussle, the only question is — can they respond? Will they respond?

Well, that’s two questions, but you get the point.

My advice to the CHS boys hoops stars? Loosen up, play to the camera, crack a freakin’ smile every once in awhile.

You’re off to a great start, atop the 1A Olympic League. Enjoy the moment and realize there’s more to life than adopting a cold stare every time the camera comes your way.

You’re not food-deprived wrestlers, after all. You can kick ass and still have fun.

No one remembers the photos where ten dudes stare at the camera with a monotone snarl on their face. Dare to switch it up once in awhile.

Otherwise you’ve already ceded the battle to your female counterparts, who understand how to play the on-court game and off-court game equally well.

The Wolf cheer squad warms up for a night of hollerin’ and stunts with a moment of sisterly solidarity.

Brandon Jansen lets rip during the halftime half-court shot contest.

The CHS band, ready to get rowdy.

“They’ve got a good beat and I can dance to ’em!”

Mollie (front) and Mckenzie Bailey stake their claim to being Wolf three-ball assassin Kailey Kellner’s biggest boosters.

Brenden Gilbert (hat) takes his responsibility to anchor the CHS student section seriously, showing up long before tip-off, accompanied by his support crew.

Nicole Lester (top) works on Sarah Wright’s ‘do, while Brisa Herrera (left) monitors things.

Later that night, the trio of (l to r) Sarah Wright, Ashlie Shank and Ema Smith would play, and win. At that moment, however, they were otherwise occupied.
