Smaller, maybe. Smarter, definitely.

Competing against rivals with much-larger student bodies, Coupeville High School claimed 13th out of 24 teams Saturday at the Raisbeck Aviation High School Science Olympiad Invitational.

The Wolves claimed Top 10 performances in 10 categories, with Jaschon Baumann and Harris Sinclair nabbing second-place in “Game On.”

That event is based on a team’s ability to craft an original computer game using Scratch, a program created at MIT.

Other CHS Top 10 performances:

Herpetology (5th) — Madison Rixe and Anna Dion

Helicopters (5th) — Rixe and Luke Carlson

Rocks and Minerals (5th) — Rixe and Jakobi Baumann

Material Sciences (6th) — Sofia Hassapis and Maka Sorrows

Towers (7th) — William Nelson and Jakobi Baumann

Write It, Do It (7th) — Carlson and Josh Robinson

Astronomy (8th) — Sinclair and Sorrows

Chem Lab (9th) — Sinclair and Ricky Rebischke-Smith

Hovercraft (9th) — Teo Keilwitz and Robinson

The Bow Down hat lives on forever.

Even as the man who wore it prepares to graduate Friday, the legacy of the shaman has been preserved.

Danny Savalza, who led the Coupeville High School student cheering section clad in his unwashed thrift store dress and giant hat, passed on the responsibilities of his post to senior-to-be Jake Tumblin at the senior awards ceremony Thursday.

Now it will be up to Tumblin to fill the king-sized shoes of the master. May he wear the crown well.
