Wolf spikers ride high.

Grey Rische, dressed for excitement, dressed for danger.

The sophomores fly away, Peter Pan-style.

She was actually in a pretty good mood, and not at all … crabby.

Senior princesses (l to r) Valen Trujillo, Bree Daigneault and Ally Roberts are old pros at getting their photo taken.

If it rains, no problem. They’re ready to live under the sea.

The Wolf booters get ready to hit the open road.

Robin Cedillo’s super power? Her spirit.

King Clay Reilly and Queen Kiara Burdge enjoy their first ride as royalty.

Lazurus lives!

Climbing off his death bed, everyone’s favorite camera clicker, John Fisken, staggered down to Coupeville and ignored being sick long enough to snap a ton of pics at this afternoon’s CHS Homecoming parade.

Next time you see him (if we didn’t just put him in the hospital…), maybe buy the guy a Diet Coke to say thanks.

The Wolf tennis team gets 3-D. Yes, that’s a ball coming right at the camera.

The CHS band hits the open streets in style.

A segment of Wolf football rolls out to meet their fans.

The senior class float is off on an interstellar jaunt.

It took superhuman skills to craft this float.

Homecoming royalty, including Queen Makana Stone, gets to ride high.

The real royalty, the women who make everything work smoothly behind the scenes. Left to right, it’s Aimee Bishop, Barbi Ford and Eileen Stone.

It was a quiet Friday, until a parade went and broke out.

Keeping alive the revived tradition of having a big, dramatic Homecoming parade wend its ways through town before the big game, Coupeville High School got festive in the sunshine.

Snapping away for those of us who weren’t there was rovin’ camera man John Fisken, who provides us with the pics above.

P.S. — Game time is 5:30 PM tonight at Mickey Clark Field. Beat Chimacum and the Wolves clinch a playoff berth.

Lindsey Roberts (red jacket) is excited. Are you?

CHS cheerleaders Claire Mietus (left) and Mckenzie Meyer were born with spirit.

Today’s the day.

Homecoming fever sweeps through Cow Town, plus there’s a playoff spot on the line.

Festivities hit the open road with a parade through town that kicks off at 2:40 PM.

Said parade goes down Terry Road, then winds itself along S. Main and N. Main before heading for the waterfront and back.

The football game — a battle between Coupeville (1-5) and Chimacum (0-6) — kicks off at Mickey Clark Field at 5:30.

Win and the Wolves clinch a playoff spot, while keeping their hopes of finishing as high as second in the 1A Olympic League alive.

“I’m a senior, Jim, not a doctor!!” Homecoming floats centered around board games, with Operation setting the pace.

Senior Aaron Wright shares a moment with his grandparents.

Madeline Strasburg and CHS tennis coach Ken Stange were ready to snap some memories.

“I’m small, but I’m sassy!” A halftime performance introduced Wolf fans to the future of CHS cheer.

Senior princesses (l to r) Julia Myers, Wynter Thorne and Kacie Kiel are just along for the ride.

Savanna Dohner cranks up the bass.

Freshman princess Abby Parker enjoys the evening.

Shame on you, Canada.

Proving the “local” newspapers have learned nothing after the debacle of last year, we now sit three full days away from what is, for a small town, a big deal.

That deal is Coupeville High School’s Homecoming celebration, which included a parade through town, halftime festivities and the best football game I may have witnessed in 24 years of covering sports on Whidbey Island.

But, other than a story on the game (Sports Editor Jim Waller is on top of his game), the Canuck-owned Whidbey papers would have you believe none of that happened.

Not a single photo can be found on either the Whidbey News-Times or Whidbey Examiner web sites, as we careen head-long into being 72 hours past the events.

During that time, we here at Coupeville Sports have already published 50+ photos.

Cause, unlike the hosers up in Moose Jaw, we understand the importance of documenting small town life for the people who live in our small town.

Maybe the “local” newspapers will catch up to the rest of us, one day. Maybe next year.

If they’re still here…

May Rose’s elbow, Grey Rische (purple), Aiden Crimmins (yellow) and Ally Roberts play a disturbing game of Clue.

Lauren Bayne (middle) and Mckenzie Meyer may have cheated at Monopoly, resulting in Payton Aparicio hauling them off to jail. They did not pass Go or collect $200.

Wolf fans (l to r) Jennifer Spark, Monica Vidoni, Makana Stone, Micky LeVine, Lauren Grove and Julia Myers root for their team.

Abby Parker and Jesse Hester wave to the crowd.

The CHS Booster Club gives back, in the form of mini footballs they bombarded the crowd with.

Perfect costume for a late night jog.

Aaron Trumbull and his little buddy head to Candyland.

The future of Wolf sports.

“I was told there would be cake. I don’t see any cake.”

“The dog is talkin’, man!!”

Want to play a game?

Coupeville High School did Friday, as its Homecoming floats all revolved around famous board games.

Clue, Operation, Candyland and Monopoly all got shout-outs as the various classes floated by at halftime, accompanied by a group of royalty headed up by Queen Ashlyn Miller and King Lucas Etzell.

Joining them in snagging sashes and such:

Senior Prince and Princesses — Josh Bayne, Oscar Liquidano, Aaron Wright, Kacie Kiel, Julia Myers and Wynter Thorne.

Junior Prince and Princess — Brenden Gilbert and Jazmine Franklin.

Sophomore Prince and Princess — Mitchell Carroll and Mattea Miller.

Freshman Prince and Princess — Jesse Hester and Abby Parker.

Duke and Duchess — Kyle Nelson and Catherine Berg.
