Kalia

“I’m Kalia Littlejohn and you’ve entered a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. That’s a signpost up ahead. Your next stop: The Photo Zone.” (John Fisken photos)

Like a moth to a flame, the click of the camera draws in Mia Littlejohn.

Freshmen…

"I'm just here so I don't get fined." Aaron Curtin sweeps us away.

“I’m just here so I don’t get fined.” Aaron Curtin sweeps us away.

A million little details go into every Coupeville High School basketball game.

The Wolf players have to be present, of course, but so do the support crew, the fans, maybe even the press (both professional and fly-by-night).

Busy photo man John Fisken, bouncing between two towns in the same night (he still insists on shooting some photos in Oak Harbor for some reason…) captured all of the hullabaloo for you.

Glossy photos. Easier than reading.

The Wolves get a massage train going.

sophomores

  “Hey, where’s my free neck massage?!?! I’ve been moving these shoulders all game!!”

On the court, history was being made.

When the Coupeville High School girls’ basketball team crunched Klahowya Friday, it clinched the first league title for a Wolf hoops team since 2002.

Off the court, the action was hoppin’ as well, as travelin’ photo man John Fisken swung his lens around on the fans, school officials and a few of the players themselves.

“We’re here all night, baby!!”

"They broke my camera..."

“They broke my camera…”

Sometimes the cameraman likes to wander.

You can only snap so many shots of basketball players at work before you need to shake things up a bit and spin the clicker towards the audience.

Fueled up by dangerously-high levels of Diet Coke, travelin’ photo man John Fisken delivered these snaps from Wednesday night’s home hoops doubleheader.

Bask in the glow.

Landon

Landon Roberts suddenly gets camera shy for the first time in his life.

Anthony

Anthony “Blue Steel” Bergeron, not so much.

Action on the court, action off the court.

While Coupeville and South Whidbey waged war over the course of four games Monday night, John Fisken’s roving camera also caught the antics of fans in the stands.

From Wolf football players reminding the Falcons that they won this year’s football showdown to former CHS hoops star Anthony Bergeron launching his modeling career, there was something for everyone to see.

In the end, the camera will find you all.

Julia (John Fisken photos)

Judy fan club

Judy’s fan club appreciates her work.

Monica

Monica Vidoni owns the paint and she’s not renting space right now.

Sylvia

   CHS cheerleaders Sylvia Hurlburt (left) and Sydney Autio may be off the clock, but their smiles are always working.

Makana

Foolish girl, you can’t catch Makana Stone in a foot-race.

Wynter

  Wynter Thorne knows what’s what. “I mean, are they raising idiots over there? NO ONE beats Makana!!”

Julia

   You can try and drive the paint against Myers, or you can just gracefully give up and pray for mercy like the girl on the left.

Rose

   “We believe in Judy!!” Lauren Rose (left), Lindsey Roberts and Kayla Rose (right) have joined the movement.

Julia Myers is a saint.

Sometime next year she’ll be off in college, or ruling a third world country as a ruthless dictator, and she’ll look back and think, “Why did I put up with this?”

And by “this” I mean my determination to build her into a legendary super hero, a rampaging, elbows-throwing wild woman who, leg brace and all, is scarring a generation of high school hoops players.

In reality, Judy is actually one of the sweetest, friendliest people you will ever meet, as easy-going as they come.

But she is willing to do the dirty work on the court, and — so far at least — she’s willing to put up with my inanity.

So, let’s keep this crazy train going.

To see more of Myers being freakin’ awesome and her teammates doing their level best to match her, pop over to:
