Action! Drama! Face plants in the background! The kind of photo that sells itself.

McKayla Bailey, blinded by Bayne’s star power, or just taking a nap? She’ll never tell.

Think about the future.

Thinking about playing more than one sport this school year? Do it.

Thinking about you or your family buying photos taken by Olympic League clicker John Fisken? Do it.

Both choices can benefit you, if you’re a Coupeville High School student/athlete.

Today and in the future.

For the second year, Fisken will be awarding up to two college scholarships to Wolf seniors. And, with the money coming directly from photo sales, local fan and parent support is key.

The scholarships, which went to Breeanna Messner and Brandon Kelley in their inaugural go-round, have been renamed the Olympic League.com Scholar-Athlete Award, to reflect Coupeville bouncing into a new league.

Up to two $250 awards will be handed out. The number of scholarships and dollar amount are directly tied to photo sales.

You can find pics at the league’s website, http://www.olympicleague.com , and links to Fisken’s work are frequently posted here on Coupeville Sports.

To be eligible, Wolf seniors need to have participated in at least two sports for all four years of school.

Exceptions may be granted in cases of injury or for students who came to CHS midway through their high school careers.

Seniors also need to have a cumulative 3.0 GPA or better and submit a 500-word essay on “How Sports Made Me A Better Person.”

Applications are available in the CHS counseling center.

Aimee Bishop has never frowned in her entire life. True story.

She is the smile that powers Coupeville.

Everywhere she goes, in everything she does, Aimee Bishop spreads joy. That’s her job, her mission, her business — and business is good.

A former Wolf athletic star herself back in the day, she has gone on to bless Cow Town with a daughter (Breeanna Messner) who was as smart, talented and caring as any athlete to ever wear the red and black.

If there is an event, Aimee is there, phone bouncing from hand to hand as she keeps the lights on, makes sure the PA system doesn’t flame out and each and every fellow fan gets a smile, a nod, a hug, a brief bit of the “Bishop Glow.”

Today is her birthday but really, we should celebrate her every day. Coupeville would be 44.7% less fun if she had not returned to The Rock.

Now, at this point, she is likely rolling her eyes and saying “Oh, you guys!!”

It’s not gonna work, however.

She may try and be modest and say she’s not doing anything special, that she’s just one of many behind-the-scenes worker bees and proud mamas.

But, deep down she knows the truth, even if she won’t publicly admit it.

Aimee Bishop is a freakin’ American hero. End of story.

Embrace your awesomeness, Aimee. The rest of us have already accepted it as a stone cold fact.

Breeanna Messner is the Al Gore of 2014.

The recent Coupeville High School graduate took the popular vote, but was denied the ultimate crown when the people behind the throne made their selection.

Messner, a four-sport (volleyball, cheer, basketball, softball) star for the Wolves, held off Lakewood’s Kiana Smith to win the public voting for the Everett Herald’s Female Prep Athlete of the Year.

She won 506-464 to best a 23-woman field that included athletes from big-name schools like King’s and Glacier Peak.

But the Herald editors selected Lynnwood basketball superstar Jasmin Edwards, who collected 223 votes in the popular vote, as their top athlete.

It was the same on the boys side of the battle, as Garrett Stich of Snohomish topped Hunter Bingham of Monroe in polling, only to see Bingham be tabbed as the Athlete of the Year.

Coupeville’s Ben Etzell was nominated for the boys’ award.

Everett Herald, we dance once again!!

If it’s Tuesday, it must be time to mess with the Everett Herald again.

The newspaper that’s most fond of massacring the names of Coupeville High School athletes (respect the memory of Taya Boonscara … wait, isn’t her name really Taya Boonstra?) has shocked us all by allowing two Wolves to be nominated in their Athlete of the Year voting.

Recent CHS grads Breeanna Messner (volleyball, cheer, basketball, softball) and Ben Etzell (tennis, baseball) are in the running, along with all the “big name” athletes from athletic powers like ATM and Jackson.

Which can only mean one thing — time for Whidbey Island to open a can of whoop-ass on their poll … again.

We’ve done it before. We’ll do it again.

Now, they have set up their poll so you can’t just sit there and click the vote button 10,000 times in an hour, which just means you have to get more creative. There are always ways around vote stifling.

And, of course, we might get a repeat of the Lakewood incident, where someone rigged the system to shoot votes to Lakewood players when ever anyone voted for a Coupeville kid.

We shall see.

But, for now, at least, we believe in the “Friday Night Lights” mantra, “Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.”

Let the can openin’ begin!!

Breeanna Messner (John Fisken photos)

Brandon Kelley

Every time you buy a photo, you send a kid to college.

Sort of.

All school year, travelin’ photo man John Fisken has been snapping pics of Coupeville High School athletes at play, as well as middle school and community athletic events.

Many of these photo shoots have ended up here on Coupeville Sports, since he’s nice enough to donate his pics to me in exchange for me tossing up links to where folks can see more photos and possibly purchase some.

And, just as he has done in Oak Harbor for years, this year Fisken set up a deal where a percentage of the money raised by photo sales would revert back to CHS in the form of scholarships for senior student/athletes.

To be eligible, a student had to play at least two sports for all four years and the inaugural winners, announced Tuesday night at the school’s awards ceremony, were Breeanna Messner and Brandon Kelley.

Messner was a four-sport athlete during her time as a Wolf, playing volleyball, basketball and softball while also cheering during the fall.

She was a team captain and claimed several All-Cascade Conference honors along the way.

Kelley played tennis and ran track, where he was a standout hurdler and member of several CHS relay squads, where he often teamed with younger brother Lathom.

The duo received $325 apiece.

Fisken plans to continue the scholarship, so keep that in mind as you peruse his photos going forward.

The dollars you send his way can come back to help Wolf athletes, including, possibly, your own sons or daughters or nieces or nephews or grandchildren.

Circle of life and all.
