Savina Wells (and associates) can’t be stopped!!

Death and destruction.

That’s what the Coupeville 8th grade SWISH girls basketball team brings to the floor, as it proved once again Saturday afternoon.

Thrashing Mount Vernon Blade Chevrolet 30-3 while playing in Burlington, the Wolves improved their early-season record to a crisp 2-0.

Coupeville gets a chance to double that win total next Saturday, Nov. 17, when they face South Whidbey and Orcas Island in a doubleheader in Mount Vernon.

Playing in a rough-and-tumble affair Saturday, the Wolves jumped out to a 7-0 lead after one quarter, before coasting in to the halftime break up 15-1.

They didn’t give up a field goal until the third quarter, while seven of their 10 players made it into the scoring column.

Sixth-grade sensation Savina Wells torched the nets for nine points to pace Coupeville, while Brionna Blouin banked home six and Maddie Georges knocked down five.

Nezi Keiper tossed in four in her season debut, with Hayley Fiedler, Alita Blouin and Gwen Gustafson each adding a bucket to the cause.

Ryanne Knoblich, Carolyn Lhamon and Lauren Marrs didn’t have a chance to score, but each contributed on the defensive side of the ball.

A new season means new portraits.

Wanderin’ camera clicker John Fisken was out and about, and snapping away, this week as Coupeville Middle School boys basketball kicked things off.

The mug shots seen above are but a small portion of what he shot, but to see everything, you’ll have to return to these pages as the season unfolds.

Can’t give away the whole store right at the start.

Winter cheer is coming.

High School basketball season starts Monday, when Coupeville players hit the floor for their first practices.

While Wolf ballers will just be getting started, their cheer counterparts are already working towards a new season, leaving the gridiron sidelines behind for the warmth of the gym.

First-year CHS coach BreAnna Boon has a 13-woman roster with which to work, with 11 of those Wolves returning from football season.

“We are a small but mighty squad!,” Boon said. “Great things are coming … be prepared to be amazed!”

The CHS winter cheer squad:

Ashleigh Battaglia
Julie Bucio
Kim Castro
Coral Caveness
Emily Fiedler
Kaley Grigsby
Ja’Tarya Hoskins
Lola Jimenez
Jaden Marrs
Marenna Rebischke-Smith
Mica Shipley

So long, but not good-bye!!

Casie Greve is leaving the gym, but not the school.

The popular Coupeville Middle School volleyball coach has stepped down after four seasons in the program.

Greve, who is an English teacher at CMS, is remaining at the school.

“She’s (just) moving into a different phase and she won’t have time to coach right now,” said Coupeville Athletic Director Willie Smith.

After stepping in as the 7th grade coach in 2015, Greve eventually moved up to coach the 8th grade team in recent years.

Her squads were always competitive, and her coaching laid the groundwork as Wolf players prepared to make the transition to the high school program.

Plus, she always responded to emails and was quick to deliver info, even when it probably seemed like I was nagging.

On the bench or in the classroom, Greve has always been first-rate, and we here at Coupeville Sports thank her and wish her the best.

Walstad kick-starts coaching career!!

The Wolf has become a Cougar.

Former Coupeville High School star Joel Walstad, a three-sport athlete who holds the single-season school record for TD passes, is back in the gym, but not as a player.

The 2015 CHS grad is working as an assistant boys basketball coach at North Whidbey Middle School.

He can also be found at the Living Word Foursquare Church in Oak Harbor, where he’s Middle School Director.

During his days in Coupeville, Walstad played football, basketball and soccer, and his exploits earned him induction into the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame.

He was a talented goalkeeper on the pitch, and a hard-driving ball-hawk on the hardwood, but his biggest moments came on the gridiron.

During his senior season in 2014, Walstad threw for 1,675 yards and 18 touchdowns (he also ran for four scores), guiding Coupeville to its best record in a decade.

His best performance came in the biggest game of the season, as he completed 20 of 29 passes for 252 yards and three touchdowns as the Wolves drilled arch-rival South Whidbey.
