The smile never fades.

Sylvia Arnold retired last season after 20 years as Coupeville High School cheer coach, but the mega-watt grin that lit up the football field is still on display.

Swinging by a recent Wolf basketball game, she bestowed the smile o’ approval on a number of people, and lurking photo man John Fisken was there to capture the moments.

Bask in the afterglow.

“Nothing but net, baby!!”

Gabe Wynn

One wing of Gabe Wynn’s fan club rally around his giant head.

band

  “Mr. Jenkins has to look away for a moment at some point… Soon as he does, a little “Highway to Hell” action is coming your way!!”

Walstad

Joel Walstad’s support crew gets a photo op.

I’d say about 12% of the fans at any high school basketball game are actually dialed in and watching the game with full attention.

Other than those die-hards, it’s all about hopping around, seeing and being seen and finding ways to amuse yourself.

Of course, games also offer the chance for family and friends to come out and support the players.

In the pics above, travelin’ photo man John Fisken has captured a bit of everything, from the families to the support crew to the folks just looking to amuse themselves.

Put the photos above together and they create a mosaic of Wolf Nation, in all its diverse glory.

mascots

Lesson learned. When Loggers go in the woods, they’re likely to get roughed up by Wolves.

shank

Matt Shank gets intense. You wouldn’t like him when he’s mad.

Sylvia

   CHS cheerleader/ballet superstar turned photo bug Sylvia Hurlburt can still break it down with the best.

team

The Wolf bench (and a Fat Head of Johnson) enjoy what they’re seeing.

The joint was jumpin’.

Kicking off a hoops doubleheader Friday, the Coupeville High School boys’ basketball squad blistered Darrington, grabbing its first win of the season.

Providing the background accompaniment was the CHS/CMS band and a healthy crowd of Wolf supporters.

Snapping pics of the action both on and off the court was John Fisken, who provides the pics above.

The action is on the court, but the show is in the stands.

Take one Diet Coke-fueled cameraman, add several dozen camera-friendly Coupeville High School (and middle school) students, and you got a party going on.

Fall sports are a wrap, but there are a bunch of photos still lingering out there, waiting to be deployed.

This collection of John Fisken pics capture Wolf athletes doubling as fans, showing up to support their classmates, who then later return the favor.

It’s the circle of life, Wolf Nation style.
