Shiny cars fuel teen athlete safety

Get your vehicle sparkly, while helping us drive over the finish line.

Members of Wolf Nation are holding a car wash this coming Sunday, Aug. 20 as the community works towards funding Coupeville High School’s athletic trainer position for the 2023-2024 school year.

The wet ‘n wild fundraiser is from 10-2 at Ebey Academy on SE Terry Rd., right across from CHS.

Suggested donation is $10 per vehicle, though tips are more than welcome.

The car wash is part of a grassroots movement to retain Wolf alumnus Jessica Caselden as athletic trainer, after recent school budget cuts threatened to erase her position.

While the district won’t fund the invaluable position this school year, officials agreed to allow the community to do so, at a cost of $8,600.

The donations fund the position, not a particular employee, though CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith, the trainer’s direct supervisor, has confirmed Jessica will be retained.

If you can’t be at the car wash, you can contribute to our GoFundMe, or contact me at davidsvien@hotmail.com to set up an alternative way to donate.

They came to run in the sun

August 14, 2023 by David Svien

They turned out in force.

Official stats show 277 runners competing Saturday in the annual Race the Reserve, the biggest fundraiser for Coupeville High School’s next graduating class.

The 5K was the most-popular event, attracting 107 competitors.

Meanwhile, the 10K snagged 99 runners, and the half marathon featured 71 people ambling across the prairie.

Two of the day’s three winners have a direction connection to Coupeville Middle and High School cross country.

Andrew Wyman, husband of CMS harrier coach Amber Wyman, claimed the crown in the half marathon.

George Spear, who will be a Wolf sophomore this fall, outran the field to win the 10K, while the 5K title was copped by Levi DeBoard, who seems to have no connection to the Wolf running programs.

Hoops legend inspires next generation

August 13, 2023 by David Svien

Back, by popular request.

Wolf hoops legend Makana Stone, enjoying a summer vacation back in Coupeville, is spending part of her time passing on hardwood wisdom.

She and fellow pro basketball player Jaron Kirkley put on a three-day camp in the CHS gym last week for elementary school children.

Now, this weekend, as the Arts and Crafts Festival and Race the Reserve also invaded Cow Town, Stone, who has been playing overseas, spent time working with middle and high school players.

The former Wolf ace will return to Norway for another season of nailing jumpers, but for now, she’s at home in the same gym she once lit up as a teenager.

The circle of life plays out, one defensive drill at a time.

Prairie run attracts a crowd

The prairie was alive with the sound of footsteps.

The annual Race the Reserve extravaganza returned to Coupeville Saturday, with runners conquering 5K, 10K, and half-marathon routes while raising money for the Class of 2024.

The year’s biggest fundraiser for the next batch of Wolf seniors, the event played out under sunny skies this time around, as you can see in the pics above and below.

“Torpedo” still blowing up

August 12, 2023 by David Svien

Sean Toomey-Stout, urban legend. (Chelle Herbruger photo)

It’s the run everyone still talks about.

Back in 2018, Sean Toomey-Stout had a kickoff bounce off his hands — one of the few times the Coupeville High School four-year, two-way starter ever juggled a live ball.

Not that it mattered, as “The Torpedo” snatched the ball up, then took it to the house while escorted for 95 yards by a wayward deer which had entered the playing field right as the kick descended from the clouds.

At the time, multiple videos of the run cropped up across the internet, from local sites to international ones, and Maya’s twin brother became a viral sensation.

Now, as Sean prepares for another season of college football at the University of Washington, continuing to beat the odds as a walk-on player getting significant playing time, the video is still never far away.

The latest mention comes to us from Dan Raley, who covers the Huskies for Sports Illustrated:
