The free ride is over.

With the pandemic throwing everything asunder last school year, Coupeville High School waived entry fees, allowing fans to view any and all Wolf games for free.

Now, we’re going back to reality.

CHS, like its fellow Northwest 2B/1B League rivals, will once again charge for entry to volleyball, football, and basketball games during the 2021-2022 school year.

Softball, tennis, track and field, soccer, cross country, and baseball remain free.

 

NWL admission prices for 2021-2022:

$6.00 for adults and high school students without ASB cards
$4.00 for visiting students with ASB cards and senior citizens (62+)
$4.00 for grade school (K-5) and younger

Joey Lippo tees off for a new adventure

Joey Lippo is the master of more than one kind of stick.

Fresh off a summer baseball season in a wood bat league, the Coupeville High School grad has returned to the University of Maine at Presque Isle.

Only this time he’s hitting campus as a two-sport athlete, and not just a diamond dandy.

Lippo, who will be a sophomore on the Owl baseball squad next spring, will also rep UMPI, an NCAA D-III school, in golf.

He can play both since the links season runs in the fall.

“I decided to add golf to my resume in college because I’ve always loved playing golf with my dad and grandpa,” Lippo said. “And I thought it would be fun to play with my friends this fall.”

UMPI kicks off a seven-match regular season Saturday, Sept. 11, and things wrap up with the league championships in early Oct.

During his freshman baseball season at UMPI, Lippo led the Owls in at-bats (57), while tying for second in hits (15), RBI (7), and stolen bases (2).

He was third in total bases (17), runs (8), and batting average (.263) among regulars.

Lippo played baseball for the Lynnwood Llamas this summer in the Cascade Collegiate League, helping them finish 16-6 and win the league’s postseason title.

Back in his Coupeville High School days, Skyy’s twin brother played tennis, basketball, and baseball.

Fall sports are almost upon us.

September arrives in a few hours, and wanderin’ photo clicker John Fisken is out and about snappin’ pics — two signs that high school sports are on the (very near) horizon.

The first photos of the 2021-2022 school year are a medley of football and boys soccer images.

They’re the start, but hardly the finish.

As sports get underway, you can find Fisken’s work here on Coupeville Sports and over at his website — https://www.johnsphotos.net/

Lunch is on them.

All students enrolled in Coupeville schools will receive free meals during the 2021-2022 school year.

Thanks to extended funding from the United State Department of Agriculture, students will enjoy lunches cooked by Chef Andreas Wurzrainer and his staff at no charge.

School meal account deposits will not be necessary.

“(We want to) ensure all students are fueled and ready to learn,” the Coupeville Connected Food Program said in a statement.

“Our goal is to offer ALL of our students delicious, healthy food that is served safely and efficiently this year.”
