Time to stretch out the ol’ wallet a little more.

As Thursday’s night’s Coupeville School Board meeting officially hit the three-hour mark, the directors capped things by voting 5-0 to approve participation fees for the 2025-2026 school year.

When it comes to “pay to play fees,” which are charged per sport, there will be a $5 hike at both the high school and middle school levels.

Those fees are in addition to each student athlete (or their parental figures) being required to purchase an ASB card.

Fees for 2025-2026:

Take your basketball and go East, young man.

Summer is prime time for looking ahead, and seeing what next season’s roster might look like.

So that’s what Coupeville High School coaches did this week, as they scooped up a collection of players and headed off to the other side of the state for the Connell Shootout.

While spending three days in Eastern Washington, Wolf boys’ hoops stars played eight games in a 48-hour span.

Foes included Willapa Valley, Columbia Burbank, Warden, East Valley, Oroville, Othello, Warden, and the host school.

As he headed back to Whidbey, still abuzz after the experience, CHS coach Brad Sherman was philosophical.

“Some wins, some losses, a lot of growth as a team,” he said “Exactly what you want out of summer hoops.”

The Wolves share dinner with players from league rival Mount Vernon Christian.

The hardcourt ace, who went on to play two seasons of hoops at Skagit Valley College, will be headlining a summer basketball camp set for July 22-24.

Jump earns college academic honors

June 24, 2025 by David Svien

Winner in the throwing pit, winner in the classroom.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, now a sophomore track and field star at Plattsburgh State in New York, received another honor Tuesday.

She was one of five Cardinals named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Track and Field Team.

She joins Plattsburgh teammates Grace Yarkosky, Charles Cypress, Faris Webber, and Isaiah Martens-Collins.

To be eligible for the team, an athlete needed a 3.50 or higher grade point average, while also placing in the top 50 in their region in at least one event.

Jump, who is majoring in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology, finished her sophomore season ranked in the top 18 in her region in both the javelin and weight throw.

The former Wolf ace topped things off with a sixth-place finish in the javelin at the league championships.

It’s been a busy week of honors for Jump, who five days ago was tabbed to the State University of New York Athletic Conference Academic Honor Roll.

During her days at CHS, Aleksia and Khanor’s big sis played school and club volleyball, as well as performing for the Wolf track team.
