Everyone wins.

Well, technically, the girls beat the boys during Coupeville High School basketball’s annual toy drive.

So, Megan Richter and her program will have bragging rights and all.

But the real winners are the kids who will get toys during the holiday season, thanks to all the Wolf hoops stars, fans who donated, and Holiday House North, who will distribute the gifts.

Overall, the Wolf hardwood heroes collected more than 200 toys.

Rivals united for a good cause.

When the Coupeville High School basketball teams head to Langley Friday to mash on South Whidbey, fans are encouraged to bring toys with them.

SWHS is conducting its annual Holiday House Toy Drive and will have collection bins at both sites where games are being played.

The community stepped up big time in its support of its athletes.

The annual Coupeville Booster Club fundraiser dinner and auction snagged $26,000 this past weekend.

“I’m so humbled by the generosity of the community giving to our kids,” said Booster Club board member Danette Beckley.

The event was a true labor of love, with Beckley, Michelle Armstrong, and Jess Lucero leading the booster club side of things.

Current Wolf athletes, both at the middle and high school level, volunteered their time to work during the dinner as well.

Serendipity Catering provided the food, while community members donated sweet treats for the always-popular dessert auction.

There was also a silent auction, and a live one, with trips to Chelan and Maui, a Seahawk gift package (including game tickets), a “Pork-A-Palooza” event for eight, and a “Wheelbarrow of Booze” perfect for parties among the items up for grabs.

You can help Chayse chase his pitch dream.

Coupeville Middle School 8th grader Chayse Van Velkinburgh has been picking up plenty of overseas soccer experience in the past couple of years, and he has an opportunity for much more.

The fleet-footed booter’s family has launched a GoFundMe to allow his supporters to help him raise the money necessary for a three-month full-time residency at the prestigious Madrid Euro Soccer Academy in Spain.

Cost is $13,300 and the fundraiser is 9% fulfilled in a little under 24 hours.

The spikers scored big, two ways.

Coupeville High School volleyball hosted its annual Dig Pink night last Thursday, with both the varsity and JV knocking off visiting La Conner on the court.

Now, Wolf coaches have revealed the cancer awareness event generated $1,420, with the proceeds earmarked to go to the WhidbeyHealth Foundation.

Coupeville’s net crew returns to action Thursday, Oct. 24 with a road trip to Concrete.

The Wolf varsity is a pristine 10-0 on the season, and a win against the Lions will clinch the Northwest 2B/1B League title and give the 2024 squad the best start in program history.

Meanwhile, the JV spikers aren’t too far off their varsity counterparts, boasting an 8-1 mark this season.

The Wolf varsity gets pumped, pre-game.
