“Get in my belly!!!”

“Simmer down, ya animals! Five minutes more! Willie Smith, you even breathe on that oven you get none, mister.”

“Oh. Hi, Mrs. Downes. Gee Mrs. Downes, your hair looks real pretty today.”

“Ooh, you keep an eye on him, Mrs. Downes! He’s a sneaky one!!”

“Baby death grip activated. This dude’s going nowhere! No need to thank me, you can pay me in sweet, sweet pizza rolls!”

“You touch that oven, and we’re comin’ for you, old man!”

“You even think about touching my pizza rolls, you’re sleeping on the couch, buddy!”

Oven dings. “LET’S GET ‘EM, BOYS!!!!”

She still sparkles in the spotlight.

Former Coupeville three-sport star Savina Wells continues to dazzle on the hardwood, though these days she suits up in the Sunshine State.

Now a junior at Fernandina High School in Florida, Ulrik and Izzy’s “little” sister led the Pirates basketball squad in scoring, rebounds, and blocked shots this season.

Playing in 20 of her team’s 22 games, Savina racked up 250 points, snatched 175 rebounds, and rejected 50 shots.

She also tallied 27 steals and five assists for a Pirates team which finished 12-10, getting knocked out in the second round of the district tourney.

Savina began her high school hoops career as an 8th grader in Coupeville, scoring 59 points during a Covid-shortened season.

After adding 74 more as a freshman, she and the Wells family moved South, where she popped for 160 points as a sophomore during her Florida debut.

During her Cow Town days, Savina was a vital part of a tight-knit, talented group of young women who excelled in softball, basketball, volleyball, and track and field.

Both of her older siblings graduated from CHS after also playing multiple sports for the Wolves.

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.

Mikey Robinett, flexing on La Conner. Yes, on the whole town. (Photos by JohnsPhotos.net)

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.
