Cranking out the hits at Friday night’s game against Vashon.

It don’t mean a thing without that zing.

CHS music teacher Jamar Jenkins and the Wolf band bring an extra dimension to football games, making their section of the new grandstand rock from warm-ups to exit song.

There are 25 music lovers listed on the fall roster, though not all are actively playing during games, as a few band members double as football players or cheerleaders.

The folks responsible for laying down the sound track to Friday Night Lights:

Connie Armitage-Buckley
Mollie Bailey
Jakobi Baumann
Jaschon Baumann
William Davis
Noah Fisher
Kaley Grigsby

Wolves, Falcons out in front!!

September 9, 2018 by David Svien

Early results look good.

Having finished the first full week of fall sports, three Coupeville High School varsity squads remain undefeated.

Football, volleyball and boys tennis are all flawless, and while it’s early, the Wolves, and next door neighbor South Whidbey, are setting the pace.

The Falcons are also undefeated in three sports — girls soccer, volleyball and football — meaning Island teams account for six of the nine North Sound Conference programs which can still dream of perfection.

King’s, Sultan and Cedar Park Christian have unblemished volleyball records, while Granite Falls has already been dinged at least once in every sport.

Of course, this is all preamble, as everything played so far has been out of conference.

With one exception.

That was a boys tennis match-up between Coupeville and South Whidbey, which the Wolves claimed in a 3-2 thriller.

As we head into the second week of the season (or week three if you play football), a look at standings through Sept. 9:

 

North Sound Conference volleyball:

School League Overall
COUPEVILLE 0-0 1-0
CPC-Bothell 0-0 2-0

For all you do, this cheer’s for you!!

September 8, 2018 by David Svien

The freshman have arrived. Left to right, it’s Grady Rickner, Caleb Meyer, Hawthorne Wolfe and Kiara Contreras.

With help from two layers of Wolves, Mica Shipley touches the heavens.

“I’m telling you, we can still beat those lil’ punks…”

The new CHS grandstand packs them in.

The pregame pizza delivery makes for happy cheerleaders.

One photo, much talent, as Wolf volleyball aces Emma Smith (left) and Ashley Menges (center) and horse-riding supernova Madison Krieg swing by the stadium.

One team, one dream.

There are many people playing many roles, as each week’s edition of Friday Night Lights unfolds.

You have to have football players of course, but cheerleaders and fans play a huge part in making the festivities truly … festive.

Another key role is played by the paparazzi, who stop by to snap away on their cameras, as John Fisken is inclined to do from time to time.

The pics seen above, which come from Coupeville’s 13-0 win over visiting Vashon Island Friday, are courtesy the mad clicker.

To see everything he shot, including pre-game and in-game action shots, pop over to:

Gridiron glossies to grab!!

September 8, 2018 by David Svien

Gavin Knoblich keeps his eyes locked on the incoming ball.

Dane Lucero (45) pleads futilely with gridiron assassin Alex Turner: “Please, man, you can’t keep ripping people’s heads off. I can’t hide any more bodies!”  

Wolf QB Dawson Houston, now 2-0 as a varsity starter, scans downfield for an open receiver.

Ben Smith gets some practice reps in, perfecting the tuck-and-explode maneuver.

Xavier Murdy (2) prepares to hurt the ball. Badly.

Jake Pease snags an incoming ball during warm-ups.

You don’t catch Sean Toomey-Stout. Ever.

Two games, two wins, and now photos to prove it.

Ever-busy photo god John Fisken slid through Coupeville Friday on his way up to Oak Harbor, where his son is a senior lineman for the Wildcats, and merrily snapped away.

The pics seen above are a mix of warm-ups and early game action.

To see everything he shot, including photos of Wolf cheerleaders and fans, pop over to:

And when you go, remember that any purchases help fund scholarships for two CHS student/athletes.

Lhamon runs to success!!

September 8, 2018 by David Svien

Catherine Lhamon is on the attack.

Running in just her second high school cross country meet Saturday, the Coupeville sophomore sparkled at the epic 36-team Sehome Invitational.

With so many teams in attendance, the event broke its races down by classes, and yet almost every one of the eight varsity heats featured 100 or more runners.

Lhamon came pounding down the back stretch, picking off 10 runners over the final mile of her two-mile race to claim 15th out of 121 runners.

The speedy Wolf hit the tape in 13 minutes, 59.95 seconds.

The massive meet drew in teams from every classification in Washington state, with all three Whidbey Island schools making the trip.

Other Coupeville results:

Freshman girls — Alana Mihill (33rd) 15:42.79

Sophomore boys — Sam Wynn (72nd) 12:48.23; TJ Rickner (120th) 14:10.90

Junior boys — Chris Ruck (117th) 15:52.05

Senior boys — Danny Conlisk (53rd) 12:26.31; Kyle Burnett (91st) 16:30.07
