You're making CHS football coach Tony Maggio lose his mind...

You’re making CHS football coach Tony Maggio lose his mind…

OK, you’ve got another 23 days. Let’s do this thing.

When local photographer John Fisken shoots pics for cascadeathletics.com, a percentage of the sales goes to fund college scholarships.

It’s worked for several years in Oak Harbor.

But here in Coupeville, we’re having a bit of trouble with the concept.

Thanks to a snafu with Coupeville High School, it wasn’t properly promoted, but it’s out there and the deadline for applying has been pushed back a month to May 1.

So listen up this time.

If you want a crack at the $600 or so in the pot — may be more by the time the scholarship(s) are given — get thyself to the CHS counseling office, get an application and get it filled out.

Requirements:

*Must have participated in at least two sports for all four years of high school

*Must have a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA

*Must NOT be getting any type of athletic scholarship from any college

*Must submit a 500 word essay, “How Sports Made Me A Better Person”

Do it, or else I’m claiming the money for a post-season pizza party…

Go to enough Coupeville High School/Middle School/community sports events, and you’re sure to see John Fisken (and his camera) hanging around.

The photo whiz snaps away and sells his work on cascadeathletics.com. And, is nice enough to send a bunch of the pics my way, as we jointly tell the Canadian-owned “local” newspapers where they can shove it.

A percentage of the sales from his photos goes to fund scholarships for local student athletes.

He’s done it for Oak Harbor High School in years past and he’s launching his inaugural award(s) for CHS this spring.

Which is why it’s important to note that the deadline for applications — April 1 — fast approaches.

Wolf seniors can obtain an application from the CHS counseling office. The top five applicants will be interviewed.

Requirements for the scholarships (the pot is pushing $500, and could go higher with spring sports, so there will likely be two awards):

*Must have participated in at least two sports for all four years of high school

*Must have a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA

*Must NOT be getting any type of athletic scholarship from any college

*Must submit a 500 word essay, “How Sports Made Me A Better Person”
