You thought just cause the season was over, we had no more photos to run?
You thought wrong, skippy.
Bask in some more snaps courtesy traveling photo man John Fisken, and then, and then only, are we done with the Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball season.

Now it’s on to high school basketball for Kyla Briscoe (25) and Co.
CMS 8th grade basketball guru Brett Smedley.
They went out with a bang.
Closing their season, both of Coupeville Middle School’s varsity girls’ basketball teams thumped host Langley Wednesday.
The Wolf 8th grade varsity came out on top 28-22, while the 7th graders rolled to an impressive 33-20 victory over their Whidbey rivals.
The Falcons got a bit of revenge in the JV games, pulling out 12-6 and 6-5 wins.
A season of big wins and big growth now comes to a close, but the ride was worth it for CMS coaches Bob Martin, Brett Smedley, Ryan King and Christine Wright.
“We are so proud of all the girls!,” Martin said. “Wrapped up the season on very well played defensive games!”

Kalia Littlejohn hits second gear and flies past a defender.
Ashley Shank dominates in the paint.
Much like her mom, former Wolf superstar Sherry (Bonacci) Roberts, CMS sharpshooter Lindsey Roberts always has her eyes on the bucket.
It all ends today.
Capping their season, the Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball squads will hit the long and winding road one last time, with a short jaunt down the Island to Langley.
The match-up between Whidbey rivals (3 PM tip) ends an eight-game season and will be the swan song for a talented eighth grade varsity team led by Katrina McGranahan and Mia Littlejohn.
The next time local fans will see them and teammates such as Sage Renninger, Kyla Briscoe and Lauren Rose sporting the red and black on the hardcourt will be as high school players.

Lauren Rose (left) and Kyla Briscoe — best people in the world today. (John Fisken photos)
“Cupcakes?!?!? Did you say cupcakes?!?!?!?!”
“Don’t let my dad hear about the cupcakes or…”
Too late.
I’m just going to say it — Lauren Rose and Kyla Briscoe may be the best people in the entire world.
What? You think just because they gave me a free cupcake at Monday’s Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball home finale, I would say something like that?
I am offended, sir! Deeply offended that you would think I could be bought for chocolate cake and frosting and … yeah, I’m busy right now.
Go away. Take your petty accusations elsewhere, so that I might focus on my cupcake.
Lauren and Kyla. Best people ever. End of story.

“There can only be one!!” (John Fisken photos)
Shelby Montoya stops and pops while teammate Allison Wenzel runs protection for her.
Mia Littlejohn delivers an airborne pass while Kyla Briscoe trails the play. Littlejohn later doled out cookies to her teammates in much the same style.
Ashley Smith is so good at rebounding, she can even do it with her eyes closed.
Hope Lodell hits the floor running.
Sarah Wright goes up strong in the paint.
Do not get between a Wolf and her basketball.
The Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball players are a fiesty bunch, as they proved time and again Monday during their home finale against Granite Falls.
Ripping down rebounds, lunging for loose balls and (once or twice) almost getting into MORTAL KOMBAT!!! (old school reference — ask your parents…) with the visiting Tigers, the Wolves upheld the honor of the red and black quite nicely.
Lounging down on the baseline, clicking away, was traveling photo man John Fisken, who offers up these pics and many more.
