Bailey Thule is the photo GOAT!

“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.”

Pop your shot, record the stat

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.

Seven schools, two separate paths.

The 1B schools in the Northwest 2B/1B League have wrapped regular season play, and are currently involved in playoff action, while the 2B institutions are still playing conference rumbles.

Coupeville’s hoops squads close with road games Tuesday at La Conner, before the Braves travel to Friday Harbor Feb. 9.

After that comes the postseason, though only the Wolf boys will advance this season, as the CHS girls fell just short of qualifying for the playoffs.

Seniors (l to r) Skylar Parker, Kayla Arnold, and Reese Wilkinson bow out next week.

 

Where win/loss records sit through Feb. 4:

 

Northwest League boys’ basketball:

School League Overall
La Conner 6-0 13-5
Coupeville 6-1 14-5
MV Christian 7-2 9-11
Orcas Island 4-5 8-11
Friday Harbor 3-4 8-10
Concrete 2-7 8-14
Darrington 0-9 4-14

 

Northwest League girls’ basketball:

School League Overall
MV Christian 9-0 18-4
La Conner 5-1 12-6
Friday Harbor 4-3 6-12
Darrington 4-5 10-9
Orcas Island 3-6 5-13
Coupeville 2-5 7-12

She’s a destroyer of worlds!

Call her “The Chiropractor,” cause Teagan Calkins is rearranging spines out here.

The Coupeville High School sophomore seems like a gentle soul in the real world, but put her in the heat of athletic battle, and she becomes a wild beast.

And we’re lovin’ it, as these reactions (clearly not taken out of context) demonstrate.

Buckets rain down, scorekeepers stay busy

As the latter stages of the season unfold, the numbers continue to tick upwards.

Coupeville High School basketball players have combined to score 2,679 points this season, with 10 different Wolves notching 100 or more.

Even after going scoreless for the first time this season, due to a first quarter injury, senior Logan Downes is WAY out in front of everyone in the scoring race.

The battle for #2, however, is much closer, with JV player Camden Glover 17 points up on varsity star Chase Anderson.
