Everyone approaches their portrait differently.

Some smile. Others go as far to the opposite extreme as possible.

Whichever route they pursue, John Fisken (and his trusty camera) are there to document their choice.

The pics above are just a small taste of those he captured at recent CHS fall sports practices.

To be fair, I randomly selected two athletes from each of the sports (volleyball, tennis, soccer and football), varsity and JV, to showcase some of his work.

To see more (purchases help fund college scholarships for Wolf student/athletes), pop over to:

There isn’t currently a link for the tennis portraits, but if you contact Fisken at http://www.johnsphotos.net/, he can let you know what he has to choose from.

Enthusiastic with a capital E!!

Aiden

“I will destroy you, my fuzzy yellow nemesis!!”

Aiden Crimmins is keeping the family business going strong.

As the son of legendary CHS athletes/shenanigans-causers Jon and Jodi (Christensen) Crimmins, he is busy in both worlds.

Aiden has been known to wield a baseball bat and a tennis racket, just like his dad, while also always being front and center when it comes time to root for his classmates.

Part of a pack of Wolves prone to wearing costumes, he puts a capital E in enthusiastic.

He’s also been known to eat Twinkies that had previously been stored in someone’s underwear, cause … well … Twinkies are delicious and it made his mom blush three shades of red on an otherwise cold day at the tennis court.

The kind of guy whose smile arrives several feet ahead of him, Aiden, who celebrates a birthday today, is a genuine good dude in all ways.

Entertaining, goofy, smart, a blessing (most days) to his parents, a good brother (at least in public) to lil’ sis Maggie and a lot of fun.

He lights up the room when he enters, and he’s a guy you can’t help but root for, always.

So happy cake day (or Underwear Twinkies, if you prefer), Aiden! May it be as awesome as you are.

Who hides behind the mascot heads? It’s a state secret.

“You ever see that movie “Drumline?” Bunch of amateurs compared to us…”

The back row, up to no good, as usual.

sax

“A sax solo? You don’t have to ask twice.”

It ain’t a thing, unless it’s got that swing.

Stepping up bold and loud, the Coupeville High School pep band, with some help from a guest appearance by the Oak Harbor High School pep band, made its season debut Wednesday when it held court at the Wolf basketball doubleheader.

In between wailing on their instruments and screaming their lungs out in support of their hoops teams, the band members also snagged some photo ops thanks to travelin’ clicker John Fisken.

The CHS band, while not all pictured here, includes:

Jamar Jenkins (Instructor)
Jakobi Baumann
Jaschon Baumann
Nick Blalock
Laurence Boado
Luci Coleburn
Beauman Davis
Natasha Estes
Kaley Grigsby
Jake Hoagland
Garrett Machen
Mckenzie Meyer
Claire Mietus
Matt Millenbach
Ben Olson
McKenzie Rice
Grey Rische
Brian Roberts
Harris Sinclair
Connor Thompson-Moler

Will there be tennis today?

Prognosis: check back later.

The Wolf netters are scheduled to face off in a home non-conference tilt with 2A Sequim at 3:30, but the skies are dark and the occasional rain drop has already plopped down outside.

As we wait to see if hard-court action takes center stage, a few photos from Friday’s match against Klahowya to mentally prepare you for either outcome.

If the rain stays away, you’ll have a jump-start on putting a name to each face in action.

And, if the skies give in and pour, preventing you from seeing live action, well, at least you have snappy pics to look at.

Freshman netter delivers big hits, big laughs!!

Nile Lockwood has made a fast impression.

“He’s a wild one, but he’s also very kind and funny,” said Coupeville High School tennis coach Ken Stange.

“And sometimes inappropriate,” he added with a huge laugh.

Since Stange is an easy-going free spirit with a wild sense of humor himself, it’s a player/coach match made to order.

Lockwood, a Wolf freshman who started playing tennis six month ago, made his regular-season debut Monday in Sequim, teaming with Aiden Crimmins to play doubles.

It’s just the start of a journey Lockwood hopes will go on for some time.

“I started because it was a lot of fun to play and everyone was super friendly,” Lockwood said. “My goal is to have a great season and win most of my games and make varsity next year.”

Like most younger players, he’s beginning to learn what parts of his game are already set, and what needs to be tweaked.

“One of my strengths is my power,” Lockwood said. “I would like to work on my backhands, because they’re not as strong as my forehand.”

Away from the court he has hopes to “get through high school with good grades and go to college” and he has come to deeply appreciate the help offered by family, his coach and some of the Wolf veterans.

“The people that have helped me out the most are (fellow Wolf player) John McClarin, Ken Stange and my mom for getting me to all the practices and lessons I’ve taken,” Lockwood said. “And just about everyone on the team.”
