Hoopaholics, the early days.

They’re hitting both a milestone, and nothing but net.

Hoopaholics, a basketball camp geared at guys in the 30-and-above crowd, returns to Whidbey Island June 14-16.

It’s the 35th anniversary for the event, which is centered around Camp Casey, with game action held at Coupeville High School.

CHS players, coaches, and parents traditionally help out with clock management, food, and such, during the weekend, with Hoopaholics donating money to the Wolf hoops programs in return.

To be eligible to participate, you need to be 30 years of age and still possess a burning desire to pursue God’s Chosen Sport.

Though this year, in conjunction with the camp being held on Father’s Day Weekend, you can bring your son along, if they’re 21 or older.

This is where one road ends.

Hardwood playoff action rolls on, but today’s look at Northwest 2B/1B League win/loss records is our final one.

For basketball season, at least.

With regular season games done, the final league standings are forever frozen in time, with the Coupeville and La Conner boys sharing a crown, while the Mount Vernon Christian girls stand alone.

For the Wolf boys, the playoffs begin Monday at Auburn Adventist Academy, then loop back to Cow Town for the remainder of the District 1/2 tourney.

For Coupeville’s girls, time to get ready for spring sports.

The loudest ones in the gym, even when it isn’t their own gym.

Coupeville High School hoops players and fans trekked to La Conner Tuesday and shook the joint.

Capping the evening with a varsity boys’ win that clinched at least a share of a league title, the Wolves (and their faithful followers) put the locals on notice.

We will invade your gym, and we will own it. Every night.

Capturing the flexin’ on camera was photo whiz kid John Fisken, who delivers the pics seen above and below.

“Bailey is shooting our game today???? Get out!!!!!!!!” (Bailey Thule photos)

Bailey Thule has a rare talent.

My hot take of the day — there is no photographer working in Coupeville, adult or teen, who can match the work she’s doing right now.

End of story.

Miss Thule may still be a CHS student, and is largely working with school cameras, but she possesses a rare eye and an ability to go far deeper than the surface level with her images.

In the pics above and below, she captures deep, emotional joy and rock-’em, sock-’em competitiveness like few others.

Yearbook advisor Jackie Saia has several very good photographers in her stable — and is quite the photo bug herself — but Bailey is the current gold standard.

I don’t know what her post-high school plans are, but if they involve photography, someone with big bucks should look to back her.

The fact she allows Coupeville Sports to run her pics (for free!) is a blessing.

When (not if) Bailey hits it big, people will look back at this blog and say, “Wow, she was amazing from the start.”

Push for the big 3-0-0-0.

As Coupeville High School basketball teams head into a new week — with three of four teams slated to play their final game Tuesday at La Conner — the Wolves have amassed 2,960 points among them.

Leading the way are the varsity boys, who are the one squad headed to the postseason.

Senior Logan Downes, even hobbled by a recent leg injury, has racked up 435 points and counting.

That gives him two of the top five individual seasons in program history, as he tallied 554 points as a junior.

Also in that top five? School record holder Jeff Stone (644), Jeff Rhubottom (459), and Pete Petrov (442).

Which means only 25 points separates Downes from having two of the top three individual campaigns for a CHS boy over the last 107 seasons.
