The winningest team on the Island, regar

Five wins so far, the most for any Whidbey Island varsity team, boys or girls.

Freshman (l t r) Ethan Spark, Luke Merriman, Ben Olson and Hunter Downes

Freshman (l to r) Ethan Spark, Luke Merriman, Ben Olson and Hunter Downes get fashionable.

Who also boasts five wins? The Wolf JV girls, that’s who.

Current Wolf Lauren Rose (second from left) hangs out with future CHS hoops hotshots Mollie Bailey (far left), Landon Roberts and Lindsey Roberts.

The combined forces of the rapidly-rising Wolf boys’ basketball programs.

Halfway there.

The Christmas break has thrown a 10-day gap between games for the Coupeville High School hoops squads.

The last time the Wolves suited up was Friday, Dec. 19, when they traveled to Orcas and brought home four wins in four games.

The next time: Monday, Dec. 29, when the CHS girls host Vashon.

And then we’ll be right back at it, with the Wolf boys traveling to Concrete Dec. 30 and a doubleheader at La Conner Jan. 2.

With both Coupeville squads boasting the most overall wins of any 1A Olympic League team (the boys sit at 2-5, while the girls are a strong 5-3), the “second half” of the season promises to be an intriguing one.

As you wait, a few photos of the faces of Wolf basketball, courtesy the hardest workin’ man in camera land these days, John Fisken.

“Shenanigans” is Courtney Arnold’s middle name!!

“Relax, I’m a professional … this will open up all your airways!”

“You can mess with Texas … just not with Miss Rose. She will cut a girl, figuratively speaking.”

Lauren Rose (22) launches Operation Turnover. ETA — 0.3 seconds.

“TOLD YA!!”

The second most radiant person in Coupeville High School cheer squad history is back in town for a few days.

No one is ever likely to take down the Queen herself, former Wolf coach Sylvia Arnold, when it comes to dispensing sunshine out of every pore.

BUT, if someone ever does, it’ll likely be daughter Courtney, former CHS cheer captain extraordinaire.

The living embodiment of joy, junior division, has a few days off from her senior year of college, so she’s been hitting basketball games at her old stomping grounds.

Leaving behind her a trail of never-ending hugs to one and all, Courtney has also found time to support and good-naturedly harass the next generation of Wolves.

The pics above capture her with the Rose sisters, Lauren and Kayla, as she acts like a proud mama shepherding (and roughing up) her flock.

Try and find a bigger, brighter, happier smile. I dare you.

Queens of the hard-court!!

“Scuse me … pardon me … get out of my way, fool!!” The ever-polite Mattea Miller would like to get to the basket. (John Fisken photos)

Shenanigans, 24/7/365.

Kyla Briscoe has got the world (or at least the basketball) by the fingertips.

Super-enthusiastic fans Amy (Craggs) Engle (left) and Courtney Arnold show off their sign-making skills.

When it comes to snaring rebounds, Skyler Lawrence has the Grip O’ Steel.

Kacie Kiel would like a little help. Like maybe today.

After seeing this catch, CHS football coaches came running out of the stands to recruit Tiffany Briscoe for next season.

Former Wolf hoopsters Katie Kiel (left) and Jai’Lysa Hoskins, reunited and it feels so good.

Best team in the league. The whole league.

The Coupeville High School girls’ basketball squad sits at 4-2 after their stunning come-from-behind win over 2A Sequim Saturday.

Not only do the Wolves have the most wins of any of the four 1A schools in the league, they would also top any of the seven 2A schools.

Plus, they take pretty good pictures. So, there’s that.

John Fisken snapped the pics which reside above, a mix of the varsity and the almost-as-successful Wolf JV (3-3).

Sherry and Jon Roberts and their ever-adoring daughter, Lindsey. Hey, she adores the camera. I didn’t say what she adored.

Mindy and Tim Grove

Couple Cam overload! The camera’s gettin’ full … time to shake out a bunch.

“Hey, don’t shut off that camera! We’re gettin’ in on this baby!!” It’s cousin love with Lindsey (left) and Ally Roberts.

That moment when Ryan Griggs realizes he's in the wrong photo shoot.

That moment when Ryan Griggs (left) realizes he and Lathom Kelley have wandered into the wrong photo shoot. They go with the flow.

It was Couple Cam weekend.

Roving photographer John Fisken likes to mix it up a bit and grab a few billion other photos between on-the-court action shots.

This time, as he covered a Wolf boys’ basketball game Friday and a girls’ game Saturday, he decided to make folks hug and grin.

We can dig it.

Buy the man a Diet Coke!!

Madeline “Maddie Big Time” Strasburg can palm a basketball. Her teammates seem ever so impressed. (John Fisken photos)

Every time you look at this photo, you notice something else going on. It’s the gift that never stops giving.

Landon Roberts, heir to the throne. Two CHS Athlete of the Year winners for parents (Jon and Sherry (Bonacci) Roberts) — the intensity is from mom.

The Chosen One joins older sis Lindsey for a moment sure to grace the Roberts’ family Christmas card.

Allison Wenzel played like a beast on defense in the JV game, then sprinted into the stands to wail away during the varsity contest. They call that multi-talented.
