They’ll be back for the playoffs.

Coupeville High School basketball ends the regular season Tuesday on the road in La Conner, but the Wolf boys’ varsity is guaranteed a return trip to its own gym for the postseason.

That means the CHS cheer squad will be in action as well.

As the Wolf spirit leaders prep for the postseason, take a moment to reflect back on some of what they have accomplished recently, courtesy a photo essay.

Bailey Thule has a rare talent.

My hot take of the day — there is no photographer working in Coupeville, adult or teen, who can match the work she’s doing right now.

End of story.

Miss Thule may still be a CHS student, and is largely working with school cameras, but she possesses a rare eye and an ability to go far deeper than the surface level with her images.

In the pics above and below, she captures deep, emotional joy and rock-’em, sock-’em competitiveness like few others.

Yearbook advisor Jackie Saia has several very good photographers in her stable — and is quite the photo bug herself — but Bailey is the current gold standard.

I don’t know what her post-high school plans are, but if they involve photography, someone with big bucks should look to back her.

The fact she allows Coupeville Sports to run her pics (for free!) is a blessing.

When (not if) Bailey hits it big, people will look back at this blog and say, “Wow, she was amazing from the start.”

Push for the big 3-0-0-0.

As Coupeville High School basketball teams head into a new week — with three of four teams slated to play their final game Tuesday at La Conner — the Wolves have amassed 2,960 points among them.

Leading the way are the varsity boys, who are the one squad headed to the postseason.

Senior Logan Downes, even hobbled by a recent leg injury, has racked up 435 points and counting.

That gives him two of the top five individual seasons in program history, as he tallied 554 points as a junior.

Also in that top five? School record holder Jeff Stone (644), Jeff Rhubottom (459), and Pete Petrov (442).

Which means only 25 points separates Downes from having two of the top three individual campaigns for a CHS boy over the last 107 seasons.

She’s heading back to the big dance.

Former Cow Town student Izzy LeVine, the last link in a family which includes three Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame inductees, qualified for the state wrestling tourney in Arizona for a second-straight season.

Micky and Jae’s rampaging lil’ sis finished second in her weight class at sectionals this past weekend, while her Casteel High School squad won a team title.

Izzy’s lone loss at the postseason rumble came in the final, where she faced the #2 ranked grappler in the state.

Overall, Casteel is sending eight wrestlers to state this season.

The cap to the high school mat campaign is Feb. 15-17 in Phoenix.
