Tis the time of the season for reunions.

With the holidays in full swing, a lot of former Wolf sports stars are back home from college, and many of them swung by the gym recently to catch up with family and former teammates.

Letting his camera wander the whole 360-degree field, photog John Fisken captured some of the reunions, plus a mix of band members at work and fans being fans.

The smorgasbord of holiday pics seen above are courtesy him.

Play like it’s 1999!!

You can go home again.

The annual Tom Roehl Roundball Classic, an alumni hoops tourney dedicated to the memory of a former longtime Wolf coach, played out Saturday in the CHS gym.

Those on hand were there to remember their coach, raise money for scholarships to be given out in his name, and see who still had game (and who had spent too much time on the couch).

After a year down, Red Pride rebounded to win the title, beating the Coupeville Cows 59-48 in an all-Coupeville championship.

Last year’s tourney winners, Prestige World Wide, fell in the semifinals this time around.

Photographer John Fisken wandered by the gym and delivers the photos seen above.

Not much action, but it was all positive.

Coupeville only played a single foe on the basketball court this week, but both the Wolf girls and boys came away with solid non-conference wins over Concrete.

As winter break kicks off, a lack of games was a trend all across the Olympic League, as Port Townsend, Klahowya and Chimacum join CHS in biding their time.

Once we get past the start of the new year, things will ramp up in intensity, and the heart of the conference schedule will come to the forefront.

Until then, a look at the stat sheet shows four Wolves, senior Allison Wenzel and three newbies, netting their first points of the season against Concrete.

For sophomores Gavin Knoblich, Hannah Davidson and Ulrik Wells, those buckets also marked their first-ever varsity points.

Kylie Chernikoff operates with one thought on defense — no one scores. Ever.

Shot-blocking demon Joey Lippo gets nasty.

Having ripped the ball free, Ema Smith is off on a merry jaunt.

Do not get between Hunter Downes and a rebound. He wouldn’t like it.

Fab frosh Chelsea Prescott attacks the hoop.

   Threatening to pull his arms out of their sockets, Jacobi Pilgrim touches the heavens and snares a rebound.

The buckets were dropping, the wins were raining down and the cameras were clicking.

Coupeville’s basketball squads enjoyed a solid night Wednesday, with three of four teams beating visiting Concrete.

Wanderin’ photo god John Fisken was in the house to document the big plays and big victories, and the photos above are courtesy him.

The only thing that can cool them off is an enforced winter break.

Coupeville grad Makana Stone and the Whitman College women’s basketball team drilled a ranked foe Thursday, completing a clean sweep at the Trinity University Classic in San Antonio.

The 82-59 victory over the tourney hosts lifts the Blues, ranked #8 in NCAA D-III hoops, to 10-1.

With two wins by rout in as many days, Whitman heads home for the break riding a 10-game winning streak.

Stone and Co. are now off until Jan. 5, when they kick off a four-game home stand in Walla Walla.

The foe that night will be Pacific, and the game will start the heart of the Northwest Conference season for Whitman.

Currently sitting at 2-0 in league play, and in a first-place tie with George Fox, the Blues play their final 14 regular season games against conference opponents.

Thursday afternoon pitted Whitman against the #13 team in the nation, but it wasn’t as close a match-up as might have been expected.

The Blues led 16-13 after one quarter, stretched the margin to 41-33 at the break, then steadily pulled away after halftime.

The second half was when Stone did much of her damage, as she scored all eight of her points after the break.

The sophomore sensation added six rebounds, two assists and two steals, while All-American Casey Poe paced the Blues with 22 points.

For the season, Stone leads Whitman with 153 points on 58-90 (64%) shooting from the floor and 21-28 (75%) from the free throw line.

She also has 63 rebounds, 23 assists and eight steals.
