Help CHS basketball fight cancer

Posted in Basketball, Fundraisers, tagged , , , , on January 15, 2026| Leave a Comment »

The Wolves play for two things Friday night.

On the court, the Coupeville High School basketball teams will clash with visiting Darrington in key Northwest 2B/1B League contests.

But the Wolves will also be leading the way to honor those fighting cancer, while raising funds for the WhidbeyHealth Foundation.

The annual “Coupeville vs. Cancer” night features girls varsity and boys JV hoops games at 5:15 PM, followed by boys’ varsity at 7:00.

Players will wear custom “Coupeville vs. Cancer” warmups, and a giant sign will be posted on a wall in the hallway leading to the CHS gym where people will be encouraged to write the names of loved ones who have fought or are fighting cancer.

Shirt and bracelets will be available for sale, and donations can be made at the game or online.

All funds raised will directly support cancer care at WhidbeyHealth, helping “ensure that patients can receive compassionate, high-quality care close to home.

“Your generosity strengthens our community and makes a lasting impact,” said CHS coaches in a statement.

“Please know that your courage is an inspiration, and we are proud to stand as a community and recognize your strength, and resilience.”

Former Wolf cheerleader faces tough health fight

Posted in Cheer, Fundraisers, tagged , , , , on January 11, 2026| Leave a Comment »

Jessica (Bester) Nelson

Family members have launched a GoFundMe to assist a former Wolf athlete facing a battle with Multiple Sclerosis.

Jessica (Bester) Nelson, 26, attended middle school in Coupeville, playing basketball, and went on to be a member of the cheer squad as a CHS freshman, joining her cousin, Ciera St Onge.

Nelson has spent the past five weeks in the hospital and a rehabilitation facility and has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and neuromyelitis.

On the GoFundMe page, her mother says her daughter “no longer has use of her legs, and her hands are locked.”

Nelson is in need of “a wheelchair, toiletries, slippers and non-slip socks, belts for lifting, a transfer board, a wheelchair lift for their truck, and numerous other items” and the fundraiser is being launched to “alleviate some of the burden on her wife both financially and physically.”

Help Wolves shoot ‘n score with toy drive

Posted in Basketball, Fundraisers, tagged , , , on December 4, 2025| Leave a Comment »

Get ready to rumble, for a good cause.

Coupeville High School basketball players are launching their annual toy drive to benefit local youth, and Wolf fans will have multiple opportunities to help the cause.

When you attend CHS hoops games this month, you’ll see boxes in the lobby of the gym awaiting delivery of new, unopened toys.

As usual, there’s also a bit of a side bet to the whole thing, as one box is labeled “Girls”, and one box is labeled “Boys.”

That has nothing to do with which children will receive which toys but instead draws the battle lines between the two CHS hoops programs, as they compete to see which team can collect the most toys.

Last season, the Wolves collected 200+ gifts, and this time around they’re hoping to surpass that number.

There is home games set for Dec. 4, 6, 9, and 16 to grant you easy access to donate.

This year as well, there is a GoFundMe being run for the Holiday House, which is where the toys are dispersed through.

To see that fundraiser, pop over to:

Help support wife, daughter of beloved teacher

Edmundo Corrales and his family.

Several communities are rallying to help the wife and young daughter of a well-loved local teacher killed in a head-on car collision Monday by Deception Pass.

Edmundo Corrales, a 2007 graduate of Oak Harbor High School who lived on Whidbey, taught Spanish and coached multiple sports in the Anacortes School District.

His connections to The Rock were many, as he played on the OHHS state championship football team in 2006 alongside current Coupeville gridiron coaches Bobby Carr and Bennett Richter.

Corrales also worked at Oak Harbor’s Blue Fox Drive-In Theater before becoming a teacher.

After earning his bachelor’s degree in kinesiology and exercise science at Whitworth University, the former Wildcat was hired as an assistant football coach at Sedro-Woolley High School, where he worked for his former OHHS coach, Dave Ward.

Corrales has worked for the Anacortes School District since 2018, where he coached golf, wrestling, and trap and skeet shooting.

Friends of the family have launched a GoFundMe to aid his wife, Meghan, and their seven-month-old daughter, Daphne.
