Shenanigans on the bench.

“She’s … right … behind me … isn’t she?”

CMS coach Brett Smedley lays down some wisdom.

Scout Smith wheels and deals.

The 8th grade varsity clamps down on defense.

“I can see the future of Wolf basketball and it’s a bright one!”

Roberts gets some flowers from her ever-growing fan club.

The future of Wolf hoops is a bright one.

At the high school level, the varsity girls’ squad went 15-7 and won a league title, while the JV went 14-5. Both teams were a flawless 9-0 in league play.

Meanwhile, the Coupeville Middle School teams, which will provide more weapons for the big leagues in the next year or two, are playing impressive ball of their own.

Roving photo man John Fisken was hanging around the gym Monday as the Wolves played their final home game of the season (they finish with three straight on the road) and snapped the pics above.

“My elbow, your ear. This is where they meet if you don’t give me that ball, sister.”

Avalon Renninger leads the charge.

And then a wrestling match broke out in the CMS gym.

Coupeville gets a jump on Langley.

Right back at it.

Two days after kicking off their season, the Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball players were back in their home gym Thursday, facing off with Island rival Langley.

On the scene, camera in hand, was travelin’ photo man John Fisken, who provides the pics above.

Let the ball hit the net!!

Posted in Girls Basketball, Middle School, tagged Basketball, CMS Wolves, John Fisken photos, Kalia Littlejohn, Sarah Wright on February 11, 2015| Leave a Comment »

Sarah Wright is a bit perturbed. “Will someone make this fool let go of my basketball? I don’t like people touching MY basketball!!” (John Fisken photos)

“Get out your umbrella, cause I’m gonna make it rain!!”

“Block my shot? Not a chance, sister!!”

And the crowd (led by irrepressible future Wolf star Mollie Bailey, top left in red) goes wild.

Having left her defender sprawled on the floor, a young Wolf heads for the basket.

Kalia Littlejohn threads the needle.

Raise your hands if you’re sure Coupeville is better than Granite Falls.

“The next sound you’ll hear is the ball hitting the bottom of the net, baby!!”

And we’re officially tipped off.

The Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball squads made their regular-season debut at home Tuesday, battling Granite Falls and being captured on film by roving photographer John Fisken.

In the night’s premier showdown, the Wolf 8th grade varsity came within a missed half-court shot at the buzzer of upending the Tigers.

Battling back from a double-digit deficit, Coupeville, which was playing without vacationing shooting star Lindsey Roberts, got scoring from four players.

Sarah Wright banged home 10 to pace the Wolves, while Kalia Littlejohn (8), Ashlie Shank (4) and Ema Smith (3) all chipped in.

They have next. (John Fisken photos)

Coaches Ryan King (back, left) and Bob Martin pose with the 7th grade squad and future star Mollie Bailey (far left), who knows a good photo op when she sees one.

Short bench, big talent for the 8th grade squad.

A gun show breaks out.

The 8th graders are not impressed…

It’s their time.

The opening days of practice are done and the Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball teams take the court for their first taste of competition this afternoon.

The Wolves will be in Langley for a jamboree (3 PM), before starting their eight-game regular season schedule at home Tuesday, Feb. 10 against Granite Falls.

Coupeville plays four of its first five at home (Feb. 12 against Langley, Feb. 25 against Sultan and March 2 against Lakewood), then closes with three straight on the road.

To get you prepped, a first look at the 20 young women who were hanging around the court when traveling photo man John Fisken swung by the gym the other day.

Puttin’ that work in!!

If this picture is any indication, Zoe Trujillo will be just as feisty on the court as older sister Valen. Which was very, very feisty. (John Fisken photos)

Oliana Stange dreams of breakin’ ankles and takin’ names.

Tia Wurzrainer (left) and Maya Toomey-Stout work on their ball-handling skills.

“Me! I want the ball, coach!! Give me the rock!!” Ema Smith, stone-cold hoops assassin.

“Dribbling drills all day long? I want to start bustin’ some heads, coach!!”

Try and touch her basketball and Kalia Littlejohn pledges to let you taste the fury of her elbow.

Heart of a champion.

The future is fine-tuning its skills set.

With the start of a new Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball season less than two weeks away, the Wolves are hard at work.

Dribbling drills, rebound work, learning to pose for the camera man — all in a day’s work.

Wandering through the gym before heading across the hallway to snap high school action, John Fisken caught the next generation of hoops stars hard at work.
