   Moments later, these four small children took the floor and beat Port Townsend. Ooh, you’ve been zinged, RedHawks.

cowan

   Kalia Littlejohn tries to bribe her CHS soccer coach, Troy Cowan, with candy, but he has a laser focus and will not be deterred from the on-court action.

moms

   Wolf moms (l to r) Eileen Stone, Kristi Etzell and Kristin Hurlburt threaten to get rowdy in the stands. It wouldn’t be the first time.

Jamar Jenkins: "You're not ready for this beat, but I'm going to lay it down anyway."

Dalton Martin

   Dalton Martin, always the center of attention, even when he’s just here to drink some milk.

Katrina

   Wolf softball sensation Katrina McGranahan swings by the gym to root for her classmates, and, possibly, sign autographs.

"I swear, these are the hardest bleachers known to man. I can't feel either of my legs right now ... and I may be stuck."

Basketball is not the only game in town.

The games bring out a bevy of other side shows, from band to cheer to coaches from other sports stopping by to show their support (and possibly recruit players) to fans busy in the stands.

Wandering around, in between the action Friday night, travelin’ photo man John Fisken was nice enough to snap us some pics of the whole wide show, and the pics above are courtesy him.

Julia

   “Elbows” returns. One-time hoops enforcer/photo queen Julia Myers checks out the new bleachers (and drives my page view count up 276%).

Aunt Judy hangs out with her lil' niece, Lydia, and gets bum-rushed by everyone in the crowd.

Tis the season for heroes to return.

As the holidays hit, former Coupeville High School hoops stars are prone to return to town to see family and check up on the “young punks” who now wear the uniforms they once did.

Travelin’ photo man John Fisken kept one eye cocked at Friday night’s Wolf boys’ hoops games and snagged the photos above to give us a brief visual reminder of the walkin’, talkin’, muggin’ for the camera glory days.

He's got lines for days.

He’s got lines for days.

Basketball players and babies, they go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Take a look at former Coupeville High School hoops sensations and a ton of them have one thing in common these days — they have produced a photogenic next generation.

You could do many things with your Monday. Smiling at pics of babies should always be high on that list.

You’re welcome.

Lauren Rose (left) and Kyla Briscoe — best people in the world today. (John Fisken photos)

"Cupcakes?!?!? Did you say cupcakes?!?!?!?!"

“Cupcakes?!?!? Did you say cupcakes?!?!?!?!”

"Don't let my dad hear about the cupcakes or..."

“Don’t let my dad hear about the cupcakes or…”

Too late.

Too late.

I’m just going to say it — Lauren Rose and Kyla Briscoe may be the best people in the entire world.

What? You think just because they gave me a free cupcake at Monday’s Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball home finale, I would say something like that?

I am offended, sir! Deeply offended that you would think I could be bought for chocolate cake and frosting and … yeah, I’m busy right now.

Go away. Take your petty accusations elsewhere, so that I might focus on my cupcake.

Lauren and Kyla. Best people ever. End of story.
