Hawthorne Wolfe reminds you there’s a line to get his photo, and it starts over there.
You can’t dampen their enthusiasm.
Coupeville High School seniors Noelle Daigneault and Hawthorne Wolfe are multi-sport stars who both have vibrant personalities.
So, it’s sort of appropriate that the duo was both honored Tuesday, taking home the Cliff Gillies Award.
That honor, named for the longtime Executive Director of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, recognizes student/athletes who excel in scholarship, citizenship, and participation in activities.
Daigneault was a key member of Wolf soccer and tennis teams.
On the pitch, she was a feisty, fast-talking defender who helped anchor the back line.
Pop her on a tennis court, and Daigneault was an ace, partnering with Eryn Wood to advance all the way to bi-districts.
An academic sensation, she also ruled the stage as an actress and was voted Homecoming Queen, accomplishing everything while showcasing one of the sunniest personalities in Wolf Nation.
Wolfe is one of the few CHS stars from any time period who can match Daigneault’s charisma, and he loves the spotlight.
As a senior, he helped lead Coupeville to its best boys basketball season in decades, with the Wolves winning their first league title since 2002.
The hoops squad added its first district title since 1970, then punched a ticket to the state tourney for the first time since ’88.
Wolfe went out doing what he does — raining pain on his foes from long-distance, while bobbing, weaving, and talking non-stop to fellow players, refs, and fans.
The man who lived to watch the nets flip dropped 10 of his team-high 16 points in the fourth quarter of Coupeville’s finale at state, with the final three-ball giving him 800 career points.
After that, Wolfe moved to the baseball diamond, where he earned Northwest 2B/1B League co-MVP honors for his work on the mound, in the outfield, and at the plate.
