She’s a two-timer.

Coupeville grad Makana Stone was picked Monday as the Northwest Conference women’s basketball Player of the Week, the second time she’s notched the honor during the 2017-2018 season.

This time around the Whitman College sophomore was honored for a spectacular road trip to Oregon Jan. 19-20.

Stone threw down 18 points against Linfield, then topped that with a new single-game college career high of 23 in a battle with Willamette.

The Blues won both games, running their winning streak to 16 games.

Whitman, ranked #4 in the NCAA D-III Women’s Basketball Coaches Association poll, sits at 8-0 in league play, 16-1 overall.

Stone has been a big part of the success, teaming with All-American senior Casey Poe to form the league’s most deadly one-two combo.

The former Wolf leads Whitman in scoring, rebounding and field goal percentage this season.

The Player of the Week honor was Stone’s second, as she was also honored Dec. 11, after claiming MVP honors at the Whitworth Holiday Classic.

Having returned to Walla Walla, Whitman hosts two games this weekend, with the University of Puget Sound swinging by Friday, followed by Pacific Lutheran University a day later.

Forever young, forever revered!!

January 22, 2018 by David Svien

   The hoops legends of the ’70s reunited. Left to right, it’s Randy Keefe, Bill Jarrell and Jeff Rhubottom. (Renae Mulholland photos)

   Dale Sherman, a beast on the boards in the ’60s, and daughter Shannon, a star cheerleader in the late ’80s.

   Darrell Dyer, who operated the clock at CHS basketball games for decades, has a smile and firm handshake for all.

   Foster Faris (green jacket), a star on the hardwood in the ’70s, embraces his coach, Bob Barker.

   The current score table crew, l to r, announcer Moose Moran, Martin Mazdra and the greatest score-book operator to ever put pencil to paper – June Mazdra.

L to r, returning legends Utz Conard, Denny Clark, Pat Clark and Keefe.

Dorothy Keefe (red jacket) keeps an eye on her “boys.”

There were more points in the CHS gym Friday than there are stars in heaven.

The 101-year anniversary of Wolf boys basketball brought out almost every living major scoring star of the past, outside gunners and inside bangers alike.

As hoops stars from the ’40s through 2018 mingled, Renae Mulholland, who grew up cheering for her brothers (the Keefe boys) and their friends, snapped these pics and was nice enough to share them with us.

A legend in every seat!!

   Sherry Roberts, a basketball star of the late ’80s, hangs out with the next big thing in Wolf Nation, son Landon.

It ain’t a thing without that swing.

   Speedy shutterbug Maya Toomey-Stout snaps away as the action unfolds a few inches away.

Jordan Ford 1, Sherry Roberts 0. Rest assured, payback will be swift and deadly.

   A superstar in every seat, as the living legends return to their alma mater to be honored.

   Wolf mom Kali Barrio and daughter Jennifer Bergeron cheer on their favorite hoops star, son/brother Ethan Spark.

   Young gun Daniel Olson takes the sticks, as drumming veterans Sean Toomey-Stout (left) and Ben Olson prepare to give him grief (or a Wet Willie).

You can go home again.

Coupeville High School celebrated the 101st anniversary of its boys basketball program Friday, and there was a legend in every seat.

The superstars of the ’70s crossed paths with guys who want to match their achievements in the coming years, and fans of every age showed up to watch it all go down.

Travelin’ photo man John Fisken was there as well, though he was working, snapping pics all night long.

The mix of glossy images above are courtesy him.

We three kings!!

January 22, 2018 by David Svien

   Three generations of star Wolf quarterbacks, finally caught together on film. From left to right, Brad Sherman, Hunter Downes and Corey Cross. (Lisa Jenne photo)

Three men, of different eras, all linked by the uniform they wore and the touchdowns they threw.

If you look at the Coupeville High School record board, Corey Cross, Brad Sherman and Hunter Downes share a line, tied for the most touchdown passes in a single game by a Wolf quarterback.

The magic number is four, and was first accomplished by Cross in 1971.

Three decades later, Sherman matched the mark, doing it twice during the 2001 season.

Jump forward 15 more seasons, and this time, it was Downes dropping a quartet of scoring bombs during a road game in 2016.

Sherman was on the sideline, calling the plays for Downes as the CHS Offensive Coordinator, and with his help, the young gun claimed a second mark, this one for career TD passes, during his senior season in 2017.

The holder of that career mark? Sherman … who had originally taken it away from Cross.

Three legends, forever linked.

Bouncy balls and sassy babies, oh my!!

   Ace tennis duo Sage Renninger (left) and Payton Aparicio make sure everyone remembers what Wolf legend-in-the-making Hunter Smith looks like.

   Hope Lodell (left) and Sylvia Arnold (gently) compete for the title of World’s Nicest Person.

Oh Chimacum, you wouldn’t like Kyle Rockwell when you make him mad.

Jered Brown gets ready to slice ‘n dice the defense.

   Man, myth or urban legend? Cameron Toomey-Stout, AKA “Camtastic,” is all that and more.

Alex Jimenez only has eyes for the man on the other end of this pass.

“My good sir, I do not believe I gave you permission to take my photo!!”

A cameraman’s work never stops.

In between capturing action-packed images on film, local photo bug John Fisken always grabs some human interest pics as well, which makes him enormously popular in these parts.

The pics above, a mix of on and off court, come to us from Friday night’s CHS boys basketball games against visiting Chimacum.

To see everything Fisken shot, pop over to:

And, when you do, remember, purchases help fund college scholarships for Coupeville student/athletes.
