They call Koa Davison “Dead-Eye” because he doesn’t miss. Well, if they don’t, they should.

Wolf fans gets extra-creative.

Jake Mitten, reviving the glory days of his uncle, former Wolf hoops legend Jason McFadyen.

Jered Brown splits the defense.

Come to a basketball game, go home with balloons.

Dakota Eck drops in a quick two.

He slices. He dices. He has moves for days. He’s Sean Toomey-Stout and you can’t contain (or stop) him.

Opening night was a huge hit.

Coupeville Middle School kicked off its boys’ basketball season Monday with two wins — the 7th graders romped, the 8th graders pulled it out in OT — a full gym and even a roving photographer or two.

While we have yet to see what pics Junior Photo Bomb Queen Mollie Bailey might have snapped (I’m working on it), we can present to you some of John Fisken’s work.

To see more (and possibly purchase some, thereby helping fund college scholarships for CHS student/athletes) pop over to:

Who wants leftovers?!?!

CHS frosh Lindsey Roberts (left) hangs out for a moment with her mama, Wolf athletic legend Sherry (Bonacci) Roberts.

Then she’s off to grab another photo op, this time with Tami Aparicio (left) and Jennifer Kellner.

The hardest-working salad-making squad in all the land.

Sage Renninger thought she just saw a crab leg move.

Wolf moms Kali Barrio (left) and Charlotte Young, up to no good.

Droppin’ side-eye, all day long.

Lauren Bayne planned ahead. Now that you’ve eaten turkey for three straight days, you’d pay extra for some crab legs, wouldn’t you?

So, it’s the day after the day after Thanksgiving, that time when you look in the frig and are like, “What? There are still leftovers in there?!?!”

You’re like, “Well, they’ve been in there for some time and they’re all stuck together…” and then you dive in and eat them all. You just do.

While I don’t have that 23rd slice of pie or the bite or two of cranberry sauce that got wedged in under the stuffing to offer, I do have some leftover photos.

Last Saturday was the Coupeville Booster Club’s biggest fundraiser event of the season — the annual Crab Feed and Auction — and photo whiz kids John Fisken and Ema Smith were there snapping away.

At the time, we ran photo essays by both of them, but, there were so many photos, we couldn’t use them all.

So now, a week later, I’m clearing out digital space and presenting to you the leftovers.

Just nuke them in the (mental) microwave and enjoy.

Puttin’ the fan in fan-tastic!!

Paul Messner (and his magnificent beard) hangs out with daughters Aimee Bishop (left) and Barbi Ford.

Wolf football coaches Ryan King (left) and Brett Smedley are just here for the photo ops.

Coupeville Schools Superintendent Dr. Jim Shank and the real power behind the throne, youngest daughter Ashlie.

“I walk the line!” Sydney Autio’s papa is here to enforce the (volleyball) law.

Sarah Wright’s parental units, Christine and Ron, happily endure another night sacrificing their rears to the rock-hard bleachers. It’s what proud parents do.

Zane Bundy (8) rallies the troops.

Which of these Wolf Buddies will one day be CHS athletic stars themselves? Probably all of them.

There are no more home games.

Well, at least for a few weeks.

Basketball is coming up strong on the outside, but, until then, the remaining fall contests for Coupeville High School are all on the road.

As the Wolf spikers head to Puyallup today for a district playoff game against Cascade Christian and the Coupeville gridiron squad preps for Friday’s finale at Vashon Island, one final look back at the home court advantage.

Wolf fans were loud and proud this fall, and the student section continued to regroup and bloom anew.

Look back in pride, then on to the next season, with the hope that Coupeville will pack the stands for its hoops squads.

Bring the noise? It’s brought!!

Wolf QB Hunter Downes scopes out the action. (John Fisken photos)

Kyla Briscoe (middle) and Katrina McGranahan (right) watch the action unfold on the court, while Sarah Wright is lured by the siren call of the camera.

The Wolf Buddies made the bleachers shake all night.

Brenden Gilbert (74) gets the student section into the swing of things.

It’s a mini-reunion of last year’s Olympic League champion Wolf girls’ basketball squad, as (l to r) Wynter Thorne, Kailey Kellner and Kacie Kiel loiter.

CHS soccer sensations May Rose (#4 sign), Bree Daigneault (green shorts) and Jasmine Melena (pink coat) cheer for Wolf spiker Ally Roberts.

Professional scamp Jae LeVine (helmet) and her support crew (Sylvia Hurlburt, Gilbert and Zane Bundy), prepare for shenanigans.

The Wolves celebrate the point that clinched a Senior Night win.

The joint was jumpin’.

Second place was at stake Thursday night (spoiler: the Wolves were successful) and fans were well represented at Coupeville High School’s volleyball match.

The student section was loud, passionate and well-choreographed, while a swirl of family, townsfolk and former players moved through the gym.

Sparked by the 20-pack of Diet Coke he was gifted before the game (or exactly 20 more cans than he thought I would give him), travelin’ photo man John Fisken clicked away for us.

His work is above. The Diet Coke was never seen again.

“Hold the line, men! Hold the line!!” (John Fisken photos)

Alert the media. Wolf cheerleaders Amanda Neitzel (left) and Brittany Starr have arrived on scene.

We need a bigger camera. Photo Bomb Queens McKenzie Bailey (left) and big sis McKayla, reunited and ready to break the internet.

Freshmen, all full of spirit. Left to right, it’s Homecoming Princess Lindsey Roberts, Ema Smith and Sarah Wright.

Suited up to play The Joker on a halftime float, Jacob Smith contemplates all the trouble he could cause.

Wolf moms have spirit, too.

Senior cheer captain Allison Dickson prepares to lead her squad onto the field of battle.

Randy King, laying down sweet knowledge from the press box.

Freshman cheerleader Gaby Halpin stares into a bright future.

Or, maybe, she’s just watching her classmates go bonkers.

They arrived, in all shapes, sizes and ages.

Wolf fans crammed the bleachers, the sidelines and every nook and cranny at Mickey Clark Field Friday night.

They were there for a football game, for Homecoming festivities and to enjoy a relatively balmy October night under the lights.

Capturing the action, before he skedaddled for Oak Harbor and another football game, was travelin’ photo man John Fisken, who delivers unto us the pics above.

Go, marinate in the pictorial excellence. We’ll talk more later.
