Cop karaoke, your moment in the spotlight is up.

The other rage sweeping the nation over the past few years has been teachers and support staff lip-syncing to “What Does the Teacher Say?,” a twist on the Ylvis hit “What Does The Fox Say?”

Now, Coupeville Elementary School has jumped in with their version, and, as in all things, Coupeville 1, Rest of the World 0.

Rise up and dominate!!

Volleyball is crushing it, but football took a big step back.

While the spikers in the North Sound Conference haven’t played a single league match yet — that begins this coming week — the six teams have combined to thrash a variety of outsiders.

Led by Coupeville and South Whidbey, which are the last two NSC fall sports teams still capable of pulling off an unbeaten season, the league’s volleyball squads are a combined 15-4.

That’s a big step up on football, where five of six teams suffered a loss Friday in the third week of non-conference play.

Meanwhile, soccer and tennis are the only sports where conference mates have clashed.

While it’s still (very, very) early, Coupeville and King’s sit atop the pile, with two league wins to their credit.

The Wolves have won a game on both the pitch and the courts, while the Knights don’t play tennis.

Cedar Park Christian and Granite Falls have one league win apiece, while Sultan and South Whidbey are still looking to collect that first W in the first year of the league.

No, no, no, no, nooo!!

September 15, 2018 by David Svien

Well, that didn’t go quite the way everyone expected.

After four years of drilling Chimacum on the soccer pitch during their Olympic League days, Saturday’s non-conference tilt seemed like a good bet to land in the win column for Coupeville.

But it wasn’t to be.

Shocking the world, the host Cowboys snapped a 10-game losing streak to the Wolves, dismantling the visitors 5-0.

The unexpected loss, a complete reversal from a well-executed win Thursday against Sultan, drops the Wolves to 1-3-1 on the season.

From 2014 to 2017, Coupeville’s female booters swept every game they played against Chimacum, outscoring the Cowboys 35-9.

The contests in that series played out one of two ways, with five games decided by a single goal and five decided by five or more goals.

Saturday’s bout joined the list of blowouts, just with the wrong team dominating.

It was the third time in five games Coupeville has been shut out this season.

The Wolves, who sit at 1-1 in North Sound Conference play, return to action next Tuesday, Sept. 18, when they travel to Bothell to face Cedar Park Christian (3-2, 1-1).

The loss at Chimacum marked the start of four straight road games for CHS, which doesn’t play at home again until Sept. 27.

The cross country revival is operating at full force.

Coupeville relaunched its program this fall after a two-decade absence, and Saturday marked the first time both the high school and middle school teams competed together.

The place to be was Langley, where the 40th annual Carl Westling Invitational attracted hundreds of harriers.

While the Wolf high school runners were competing in their third meet, it was the debut for their younger counterparts.

And it went off very well, as three CMS runners — Carolyn Lhamon, Cole White and Claire Mayne — brought home medals for placing in the top 15 finishers.

“OH MY GOODNESS IT WAS SO FUN!!!!!,” said slightly-excited CMS coach Elizabeth Bitting. “They all did amazing!!! Great attitudes!! I am SO PROUD of each of them!

“They ran so strong, all finished hard, this is one happy, super impressed, super proud coach!!!!!! They are all truly amazing!”

Help Bree make a difference!!

It’s a 2-for-1 deal.

Kick in some moola to support a great cause and you can help out a prairie legend and greatly benefit homeless women in California.

Coupeville High School grad Breeanna Messner, a four-sport (volleyball, cheer, basketball, softball) star in her Wolf days, is currently living in San Diego as she prepares to apply to medical school.

In between her college days, and her next college days, Messner, one of the most talented, kindest people on the face of planet Earth, is busy working to help others.

She’s currently working on a project to create and distribute free, reusable feminine hygiene products to homeless women in the San Diego area.

The plan is to produce 150 pads, giving three apiece to 50 women.

Messner, who is doing the work herself, has launched a GoFundMe to raise the money needed to buy flannel material, towels, snap buttons, thread, Ziploc bags, and sewing necessities.

She’s raised just over half of her $1,000 goal and we, her many die-hard fans in Wolf Nation, can help her get over the top.

To read Messner’s full proposal, and/or donate, pop over to:
