They played together from the start of their careers to the end.

So, it’s only fitting Coupeville High School seniors Joey Lippo and William Nelson capped their prep tennis run by sharing team MVP honors.

The doubles duo also earned Captain status Monday, along with fellow senior Nick Etzell, as the Wolves became the final fall squad to hold a postseason shindig.

Other award winners honored by longtime coach Ken Stange included Thane Peterson (Most Improved) and Harris Sinclair (Most Inspirational).

Letter winners:

Jakobi Baumann
Jaschon Baumann
Drake Borden
Nick Etzell
Pedro Gamarra
Zach Ginnings
Mason Grove
Tiger Johnson
Joey Lippo
Nile Lockwood
William Nelson
Thane Peterson
Koby Schreiber
Harris Sinclair

Road warriors retire running shoes!!

December 11, 2017 by David Svien

They started on the road and finished on the road.

With no active cross country program at their own school, three Coupeville High School harriers struck a deal with their Island rivals.

Wolves Henry Wynn, Danny Conlisk and Sam Wynn trained and traveled with South Whidbey (while wearing CHS uniforms), then split off on their own for the postseason.

Once there Conlisk ran all the way to the state meet, becoming the first Wolf to make it to the big dance since Tyler King won the 1A boys title in 2010.

Now, the trio have officially capped their season, receiving letters alongside their Falcon “teammates” at a season-ending shindig.

Henry Wynn was the lone senior for the Wolves, with Conlisk, a junior, and Sam Wynn, a freshman, expected to return to running next fall.

That may be at Coupeville, as there are rumors of the Wolves restarting their dormant program, which has a long and distinguished history.

If not, they’ll likely head back down the trail to Langley and reunite with the Falcons.

They like her! They really like her!!

Another day, another honor.

Coupeville High School grad Makana Stone has been busy adding to her trophy room (if she has one) this past week.

After playing two superb games over the weekend for Whitman College, the former Wolf hoops star was tabbed as the MVP of the Whitworth Holiday Classic.

Monday, she picked up another honor, with the Northwest Conference hailing her as its women’s basketball Athlete of the Week.

Stone scored 29 points and hauled down seven rebounds this weekend, as Whitman pounded on Carroll (Mont.) College and Colorado College.

For the season, the sophomore sensation is averaging 14.3 points and 5.8 rebounds a night. She leads the Blues in points, field goal percentage and free throw percentage.

Whitman, which is ranked #7 in the most-recent NCAA D-III poll, is 8-1.

The Blues carry an eight-game winning streak to San Antonio, where they will play in the Trinity University Classic Dec. 20-21.

Wolf cheerleaders bring the noise and the funk.

   Fast-rising CMS hoops stars Ja’Kenya Hoskins (left) and Izzy Wells visit the gym they will one day rule.

CHS band instructor Jamar Jenkins makes sure they spelled his name correctly.

Wolf legend CJ Smith spends some quality time with mom Charlotte.

   One row, four Wolf superstars. L to r, it’s Payton Aparicio, Sage Renninger, Natalie Hollrigel and Mallory Kortuem.

   Sherry Roberts (left) and Sylvia Arnold share a chuckle … while discussing their plot to take over the world.

“Put me in, coach!”

   An injury has kept Heidi Meyers off the basketball court, but nothing can slow her roll when she’s got a tune to share with the world.

   “The Gazelle” at rest. Fleet-footed Maya Toomey-Stout slows down long enough to turn her camera on her fellow athletes.

Glossy pics as far as the eye can see.

Whenever John Fisken swings by Coupeville to shoot sporting events, he always tries to capture the full circus.

So, along with action shots of whatever game is playing out, he also is quick to nab band members, cheerleaders, fans and the like as they go about their business.

Thanks to his lightning-quick camera(s), we have a new batch of behind-the-scenes photos, which appear above courtesy him.

If you like what you see, pop over to Fisken’s site and take a gander at the other three billion photos he has stashed there.

And remember, purchases help fund college scholarships for CHS senior student/athletes.

James Vidoni triggers the in-bounds play.

   Stopping on the fly, Mikayla Elfrank is seconds away from draining another bucket.

Defensive dynamo Kylie Chernikoff adds some new floor burns to her collection.

David Prescott touches the heavens as he yanks down a rebound.

   Hunter “The Hammer” Downes drops his patented “Full Moon Falling” wrestling move on a rival player’s noggin.

John Fisken had to sip his Diet Coke on the fly Friday night.

With four basketball games going in Coupeville, and more to come up in Oak Harbor later in the evening, the intrepid photographer was a busy guy, clicking away, then moving on and clicking some more.

The pics above, which capture the Wolves as they battled visiting Sequim, are courtesy him.
