We’re sweeping out the archives.

The pics seen above and below have two things in common.

One, they feature Coupeville athletes or athletic supporters.

And two, they’re some of the last photos sent my way by John Fisken before he took his Diet Coke and went home, ambling off to semi-retirement.

So, with no games today as we wait for district playoff action to kick into full gear starting Thursday, now is a perfect time to slap ’em on the page and let ’em marinate.

“I’m just saying, it feels like we’re being watched…”

Ember Light fires off a serve.

Megan Richter and her junior associate catch a softball game on a sunny day.

The hunt for missing softballs is a never-ending one.

Paul Messner has his eye(s) on you.

Kickin’ up a dust storm on the way to softball glory.

It’s a collection of random photos.

With high school basketball having reached the finish line in Coupeville, we’re cleaning out the leftover pics, so here you go.

Apparently, they’re not afraid of losing their souls.

The Coupeville fans and coaches seen in the pics above and below are content to stare right into the camera and risk the chance the paparazzi behind the lens is up to nefarious purposes.

Bravery, thy name is Wolf Nation.

Small slices of life, caught between the competition.

Coupeville High School yearbook staff captured the images seen above and below, which showcase Wolf athletes in behind-the-scenes pics.

My thanks, as always, for their hard work, keen shooting eyes, and willingness to let me use their photos here on the blog.

One year, a million (or so) photos

Emotion beats equipment.

You can have all the fancy cameras in the world, and a grainier image which burrows deep to nail exuberant happiness or tender sadness will still win the day.

At least in my book.

As I looked back at the photos run here on Coupeville Sports in 2023, I didn’t try and balance the various sports.

Some are featured more than others. It is what it is.

And there certainly is no ranking, which would be madness. The order they’re running in across this story is random in the extreme.

But these 23 pics, for me, in this moment, capture the year as it was.

Argue, debate, or simply accept that as long as I’m the only one able to publish on this blog, I’ll always be right in the end.
