Want to support Wolf athletics in the future?

Then it’s time to get in on the ground floor today.

The Coupeville Booster Club is holding its “year-end” meeting this coming Thursday, June 15, an event which will include electing board officers for the 2023-2024 school year.

Things go down starting at 6:00 PM in the health room inside the entrance to the Coupeville High School gym, and all are welcome.

The club is particularly interested in bringing in parents of high school and middle school athletes, helping build a solid bench of backers.

That way, as one group invariably exits as their offspring depart CHS playing fields, the next will already be in place and rarin’ to go. And on and on.

Thursday’s meeting is ideal for both those already entrenched in the booster club world, and first-timers alike.

President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary are all in play, with board officers serving for a term of one year, and not more than three years.

If you’d like to throw your name into the race, contact the booster club at coupevillebc@gmail.com before the meeting.

All current members in good standing have voting privileges for the election of officers.

In addition to elections, the year-end meeting will help the booster club prep for next school year, setting goals, forming committees, and pre-planning for functions.

The booster club has been invaluable in recent years, providing financial support in areas where the school athletic budget doesn’t.

From purchasing new equipment, to supplying athletic letters, to making sure athletes have snacks on road trips, to maintaining the Wall of Fame in the gym, the club is the motor which drives Wolf Nation.

Can’t play without one.

Sports physicals are required for high school and middle school athletes, and are something every parent needs to stay on top of when monitoring their athletes.

For those in need, the Wildcat Booster Club up in Oak Harbor is offering a one-stop experience June 14.

While the event is a fundraiser for OHHS athletic programs, it’s open to all, potentially benefitting Coupeville athletes in need.

Show your support, snag some pizza.

The Coupeville Booster Club is holding its annual membership meeting this Thursday, May 18 — the 43rd anniversary of Mt. St. Helen’s blowing its top — at 6:00 PM in the CHS commons.

Free pizza and drinks will be provided, with the focus on informing folks of what the club does, while offering newcomers a chance to join the organization.

The booster club provides financial support to Coupeville’s middle and high school sports programs, through things such as equipment purchases, scholarships, and athlete appreciation festivities.

Six $1,000 scholarships are annually awarded to graduating CHS senior athletes, while current athletes are helped with sports fees, roses for Senior Night events, and varsity letters.

The club has also aided the school’s athletic department with purchases including weight room equipment, a portable race clock for track and field, scoreboards, batting cages, and the painting of the high school gym.

The Wall of Fame in the CHS gym, which highlights league, district, and state accomplishments for Wolf teams dating back decades, became a reality thanks to a financial donation from the club.

The boosters are always looking for a few good volunteers to help the cause, and you can have your choice of committees coordinating action on the Penn Cove Mussel Festival, the club’s crab feed fundraiser, and the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival, among others.

Or help out with doling out varsity letters, getting spiffy new duds for Wolf coaches, doing PR through Facebook and Instagram, or a billion other things.

All in the service of “providing additional opportunities for our athletes that wouldn’t exist otherwise.”

If you have questions before the meeting, reach out to the club at coupevillebc@gmail.com.

You had me at pizza and cake.

The booster club is holding an athlete appreciation dinner Thursday for Coupeville High School athletes.

Things go down starting at 6:00 PM in the school’s commons, with cake, pizza, games, and gifts on the menu.

Any CHS student who played a sport during the 2022-2023 school year — be it fall, winter, or spring — is invited.

In addition to the free food and gifts, there will be two guest speakers with strong Wolf ties.

Dane Lucero played football, basketball, and baseball for Coupeville, and just graduated from Washington State University.

Kassie O’Neil, currently the JV girls’ basketball coach at CHS, is among the most cold-blooded hoops killers in school history.

She repeatedly made King’s basketball fans cry expensive tears back in the day when she routinely drilled buzzer-beaters against the Knights, which is why she shall forever be known as Killer Kassie.

The athlete appreciation dinner was a yearly event, until the pandemic knocked if off the schedule for a bit.

“We are very excited to bring it back!” said Booster Club board member Jess Lucero.

Our rivals to the South are in turmoil.

South Whidbey High School’s football program is in shambles, and now the head coach has quit, apparently moments ahead of a parent movement to oust him from the position.

The school’s Booster Club is missing what could be tens of thousands of dollars and a felony-level investigation is underway.

Even the Falcons recent trip to state in volleyball was marred by players being suspended for alleged involvement in a party.

Those suspensions are lingering over to basketball season, with both SWHS boys and girls hoops teams missing players during the first week of the season.

While the severity — of lack thereof — for breaking the athletic code is a hot topic behind the scenes (school officials, as normal, have made little to no public comment), the other two matters are grabbing bold-faced headlines.

The Falcon gridiron squad went 0-9, forfeiting to Archbishop Thomas Murphy and declining to play a crossover game against Lynden Christian.

South Whidbey opened the season by being blasted 41-10 by Coupeville, after which the Falcons returned The Bucket — the trophy awarded to the winner of the Island rivalry game — bearing a huge, and recently-inflicted, dent in the side which has the Wolf logo.

It was downhill from there, as SWHS barely fielded enough players to take the field the remainder of the season.

Second-year coach Michel Coe, who had been unable to obtain a teaching position at the school, resigned and joined the Meadowdale football program. He’s a para-educator at the school.

Meanwhile, in a far more serious matter, police are deep into an investigation of financial malfeasance within the school’s Booster Club program.

While Coupeville’s own Booster Club has been a model of financial propriety, it appears the same may not be true in Langley.
