We really broke the budget on our trophy…

Thursday night Coupeville High School will hand out its Male and Female Athletes of the Year. A week later we’re gonna top ’em.

Over the next week, you, my fervent followers, are being called on to vote for the first-ever winner of the “Coupevillesports.com Athlete Supreme.”

To be eligible, you had to play for Coupeville High School in 2012-2013, and, after much heated debate (between me, myself and I, and yes, fisticuffs were involved…), here are your 12 candidates. But, just in case you think I’m a complete moron, I also am offering a 13th slot for write-ins.

So, think I was wrong to leave out Amanda d’Almeida, Madeline Strasburg, McKayla Bailey, Brett Arnold or someone else? Your voice can still be heard.

The winner will be announced Friday, June 7 at 10 AM. Why? I don’t know, it just sounds official that way.

The nominees:

Aaron Curtin — #1 player on tennis team. Key basketball player. All-Conference honorable mention as baseball pitcher.

Ben Etzell — Went to districts in tennis. Second leading scorer in basketball, despite missing a chunk of time at start and end of season. First Team All-Conference as a baseball pitcher.

Austin Fields — Medalist five times during golf season. Went to state for third straight season.

Christine Fields — Strong soccer player. Claimed 15th at state golf tourney, a year after finishing 8th as a freshman.

Hailey Hammer — Starter in volleyball, basketball and softball. First Team All-Conference for softball, Second Team for volleyball.

Breeanna Messner — School’s only four-sport athlete (volleyball, cheer, basketball, softball) and a star in all of them.

Makana Stone — Strong soccer player. Battled for team scoring title in basketball despite missing games with illness. Made her high school track debut by winning first 32 races. Broke school records in 200 and as part of two different relay teams. Finished 5th at state in 4 x 200. Named First Team All-Conference in four separate track events.

Nick Streubel — One of two best offensive linemen in league during football. Team’s leading scorer in basketball. Went to tri-districts as a track thrower.

Madison Tisa McPhee — Strong soccer player who battled injuries. Undefeated in 100 and 300 hurdles all the way up through two final postseason track meets. Broke school records in 300 hurdles and as part of 4 x 200 relay team. Only Wolf to win two medals at state track meet. First Team All-Conference in three events.

Jake Tumblin — Led football team in virtually every offensive category; led baseball team in steals while anchoring defense as catcher.

Caleb Valko — Team leader and captain in football and basketball. Threw shot put and discus in track. Gave great smack talk.

Bessie Walstad — Captain for all three of her sports (volleyball, basketball, softball). Leading scorer in basketball. Second Team All-Conference in volleyball.

All-League honors rain down on Wolves!!

Posted in Golf, Track on May 30, 2013| 1 Comment »

“I see … awards. Lots and lots of awards!”

“So do I! So do I!!”

“How smart of me to bring the big cart, then, with all this cargo space for your award-haulin’ pleasure. Ladies…”

Go to state, get All-Conference honors.

It’s an easy formula, and one that worked just dandy for all eight Coupeville High School athletes who went to the Big Dance this spring.

All six Wolf track stars who traveled to Cheney last weekend and the entire two-person CHS links squad nabbed honors when the Cascade Conference released its final awards tally.

Leading the way was freshman Makana Stone, who was named First Team All-League in the 100, 200, 4 x 200 and 4 x 400. Hot on her heels was senior Madison Tisa McPhee, First Team in the 100 and 300 hurdles and 4 x 200 and Second Team in the 4 x 100.

Also honored were senior Jai’Lysa Hoskins (First Team 4 x 200 and 4 x 400 and Second Team 4 x 100), freshman Sylvia Hurlburt (First Team 4 x 200, Second Team 4 x 100), sophomore Marisa Etzell (First Team 4 x 400, Second Team 4 x 100) and freshman Kirsten Pelroy (First Team, 4 x 400).

Out on the links, both sophomore Christine Fields (First Team) and senior Austin Fields (Second Team) were honored. Though one has to ask how Austin wasn’t a First Teamer when he was medalist in five matches.

Breeanna Messner was the hardest-working athlete at Coupeville High School this year.

Unlike the olden days (say, the ’80s and ’90s), when virtually everyone played three sports, only 18 Wolves played for three sports teams in 2012-2013.

Heading that list was Messner, the only three-sport athlete to also be on the CHS cheer squad, which meant she juggled two teams in the fall. A key contributor for every one of her teams, the junior proved you can be good at a lot of things (old school style) as opposed to fanatically playing just one sport (new school style).

At a small school like Coupeville, you wish more athletes would make that all-year commitment.

But, proving 2013 is a lot different than 1983, only TWO seniors played three sports, and not a single male athlete completed what used to be viewed as the “standard” season — football, basketball, baseball.

While there are legitimate reasons some couldn’t, or wouldn’t, do so (injuries, academic issues, no desire to play basketball, Coupeville’s only winter sport), we have come here today to hail those who did put out the effort, season after season.

With an eye to the future, the fact 13 of the 18 athletes were freshmen or sophomores speaks well for a possible resurgence of what was once taken for granted — the multi-sport athlete. Or it just means they haven’t burnt out yet.

The 2012-2013 Iron Men and Women of CHS:

Seniors:

Caleb Valko (football, basketball, track)
Bessie Walstad (volleyball, basketball, softball)

Juniors:

Ben Etzell (tennis, basketball, baseball)
Breeanna Messner (volleyball, cheer, basketball, softball)
Nick Streubel (football, basketball, track)

Sophomores:

McKayla Bailey (soccer, basketball, softball)
Aaron Curtin (tennis, basketball, baseball)
Hailey Hammer (volleyball, basketball, softball)
Oscar Liquidano (football, basketball, soccer)
Carson Risner (football, basketball, track)
Madeline Strasburg (volleyball, basketball, softball)
Monica Vidoni (volleyball, basketball, softball)

Freshmen:

McKenzie Bailey (volleyball, basketball, tennis)
Miranda Engle (volleyball, basketball, tennis)
Jared Helmstadter (tennis, basketball, track)
Dalton Martin (football, basketball, track)
Samantha Martin (volleyball, basketball, tennis)
Makana Stone (soccer, basketball, track)

P.S. — If Coupeville considered cheer a sport (which it should, but doesn’t), six girls would join the three-sport club:

Sydney Aparicio (cheer, volleyball, softball)
Lauren Escalle (cheer, volleyball, basketball)
Amanda Fabrizi (cheer, volleyball, basketball)
Julia Felici (cheer, basketball, softball)
Jai’Lysa Hoskins (cheer, basketball, track)
Iris Ryckaert (cheer, volleyball, tennis)

It’s a photo dump, y’all!!

“I am Caleb Valko! Hear me roar!!” (John Fisken photos)

Morgan Payne comes up firing.

Wade Schaef gets ready to run.

Korbin Korzan flings the high, hard cheese.

Josh Bayne makes a web gem.

“The show’s over! Go home!!”

Spring sports are done, but the excess pile of photos, they linger on forever.

Thanks to photo whizzes like Shelli Trumbull and John Fisken and a thousand other clickers out there, we were able to get a ton (yes, literally a ton) of pics this season.

And while every sport was covered, baseball certainly had the most images frozen on cameras.

So, here are a few more, to remind you of a time when bats and balls ruled the afternoons.

Oh, and the first photo? I know, it’s not baseball. But, it is a parting shot from the Page Hit King, so tough. It stays.
