Aiden

   Aiden Crimmins (right, in glasses and robe) hangs out with his fellow sophomores, who are bringing back the student cheering section.

They are twin titans of school spirit.

Coupeville High School senior Ciera St Onge and sophomore Aiden Crimmins share a birthday and a willingness to put themselves out in front of the crowd.

St Onge has been at the forefront of the Wolf cheer team for several years, bringing a sparkle in her eye and a skip in her step to her work on the sidelines.

Vivacious and full of life, she is a ball of fire, whether it’s football or basketball season.

Crimmins, who is looking a little like Clark Kent these days, turns into Superman when it’s time to help lead the student cheering section.

He and his fellow sophomores, guys like Jimmy Myers, Uriel Liquidano and Jonathan Thurston, have revived the art of wearing costumes and verbally harassing rival free-throw shooters.

After a bit of a down period, as a once-proud, jam-packed CHS student section dwindled down to one guy looking at his phone, it’s nice to see the thrill back.

Both St Onge and Crimmins have bought in, completely, to supporting their classmates and their school.

That both are also highly intelligent, super friendly people who succeed at everything they do, is a given.

On this, their joint birthday, let’s all take a moment to cheer for THEM and for all they do.

Can I get a C-I-E-R-A and an A-I-D-E-N?

What does that spell?

Awesome! Yep, that’s what it spells.

Aiden

  The team’s #1 fan, sophomore Aiden Crimmins, overcome by the excitement of the photo shoot, has to be carried away.

The best there’s ever been?

Possibly.

The six seniors who lead this year’s Coupeville High School girls’ basketball squad are talented, successful and full of shenanigans.

On the court, they have busted out a 13-5 record (7-0 in Olympic League play), the most wins by a Wolf girls’ hoops teams in a decade.

Along the way, they also clinched the program’s first league title since 2002.

Off the court, they take it to another level entirely.

Super comfortable in front of the camera, the six-pack (Hailey Hammer, Julia Myers, Kacie Kiel, Monica Vidoni, Wynter Thorne and Madeline Strasburg) are always willing to go the extra mile for a photo op.

The day they depart will be a sad, sad day for those of us who like to draft off their good will and get a lot of page hits in return.

Friday night they will take their final bow at home, with Senior Night against Chimacum (5:15 tip).

We may never see their like again, but we did enjoy their time at Coupeville.

Thank you, ladies, for being you.

"They broke my camera..."

“They broke my camera…”

Sometimes the cameraman likes to wander.

You can only snap so many shots of basketball players at work before you need to shake things up a bit and spin the clicker towards the audience.

Fueled up by dangerously-high levels of Diet Coke, travelin’ photo man John Fisken delivered these snaps from Wednesday night’s home hoops doubleheader.

Bask in the glow.
