Shooters gotta shoot

Alex Jimenez looks for an opening.

Ryan Blouin spins away as Cole White plays lock-down defense.

Miles Davidson lets a rainbow fly.

Logan Martin, en fuego.

Sage Downes makes it rain.

Grady Rickner calls backboard.

One more time.

Wrapping up his wanderings through Coupeville High School sports practices, photo whiz kid John Fisken collected the pics seen above.

They capture the Wolves as they go through off-season workouts, masks and social distancing included.

If plans hold, the hoops stars will be the first prep athletes to return to games in the age of coronavirus.

The first “real” practices would go down the last week of December, with contests starting in Jan.

Or, at least that’s the hope.

For now, the Wolf coaches and players will take what they can get, when they can get it.

Sort of.

Staying off to the side at a reasonable distance, intrepid photographer John Fisken visited a recent Wolf softball event, where he snapped the pics seen above.

Looking to get out of the house, wanderin’ photo man John Fisken swung by CHS to snap the pics seen above.

Race the Reserve registration extended

Deb Smith is so nice, she’s giving you extra time.

The force of nature Wolf mom behind this year’s Race the Reserve has stretched the deadline for registration until 11:59 PM, Sunday, Oct. 11.

The popular running event, which normally offers a marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K, all stretched across Ebey’s Prairie, will be a virtual event this time.

With an ongoing pandemic, organizers were unable to get permits for an in-person race.

Race the Reserve is the biggest fundraiser for Coupeville’s Class of 2021, though, so Smith and Co. are plowing ahead as best as possible.

Step up and pay your $45 to be an official participant in this once-in-a-lifetime (we hope) virtual event, and you’ll still get a race bib, T-shirt, medal, and swag bag as in years past.

All proceeds go towards a safe, drug and alcohol-free graduation night party next spring.
