Good times, good times.

Ryan Georges has spirit. Do you?

There’s a new paparazzi in town, and she’s ready for a shoot-out.

You don’t have to wear basketball shorts to play a big role during hoops season.

Every Coupeville High School home game brings out a variety of folks, from cheerleaders to band students, to fans of all ages, and even the occasional paparazzi to capture them all on film.

Wolves ready for ESPN closeup

Get your cameras ready.

With just a month until the National High School Cheerleading Championship takes over the stage at Disney World in Orlando, Coupeville’s squad is hard at work.

In between working on routines, the Wolves are in fundraising mode for the trip, while also finding time to drop hype videos such as the one seen below.

CHS, which returned to the competitive cheer game last year, ending a six-year dry spell, claimed 3rd place at the 2018 state meet.

Now, the Wolves and second-year coach BreAnna Boon have qualified for nationals, an event Coupeville last competed in back in 2006.

The squad — Ashleigh Battaglia, Ella Bueler, Karyme Castro, Coral Caveness, Emily Fiedler, Ja’Tarya Hoskins, Dawson Houston, Marenna Rebischke-Smith, Mica Shipley, Gavin St Onge, Bella Velasco, and Melia Welling — needs to raise $8,000 to cover expenses for the trip.

The event itself runs February 7-9 and is piped into 100 million homes across 32 countries on ESPN2 and ESPNU.

To help the Wolves reach their goal, you can donate in person at Peoples Bank (107 S. Main) or contact Boon at Chscheer@outlook.com.

CHS cheer has a 501(c)(3) number, so any and all donations can be used as a tax write-off, with receipt provided.

Help fuel Wolf cheer dreams

Your dollar bills, plus their sterling work ethic, can equal cheer nirvana.

Having found out late in the game that they qualified for nationals, the Coupeville High School cheer squad is in scramble mode right now.

The Wolves, in just their second year back on the competition cheer mats, are hitting big heights under second-year coach BreAnna Boon.

CHS, which fielded only a sideline cheer squad between 2012-2017, claimed 3rd place at the 1A state meet in 2018, giving the program its fourth top-four finish at the big dance.

Wolf cheer won a state title in 2006, then finished 2nd in 2007, and 4th in 2011, all under legendary coach Sylvia Arnold.

Now, Coupeville has an invite to Florida, having qualified for the National High School Cheerleading Championship.

That event runs Feb. 7-9, 2020 at the Walt Disney World Resort’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, and is televised on ESPN2 and ESPNU.

The Wolves could be seen in 32 countries and 100 million homes.

But, they need some help getting from Cow Town to Trophy Town.

Or, more specifically, they need to raise $8,000 to cover expenses for the trip, and are looking for sponsorship help from Wolf fans.

Individuals or businesses, cheer addicts or people who have no clue what a back spot, bow and arrow, or straight cradle might be – doesn’t matter.

If you’re loyal to the red and black, and want to see 12 extremely hard-working Wolf athletes and their coaches rewarded for their efforts, now is the time.

You’d be helping Ashleigh Battaglia, Ella Bueler, Karyme Castro, Coral Caveness, Emily Fiedler, Ja’Tarya Hoskins, Dawson Houston, Marenna Rebischke-Smith, Mica Shipley, Gavin St Onge, Bella Velasco, and Melia Welling, as well as CHS coaches Boon and Sarah Reinstra.

To donate, you can swing by Peoples Bank (107 S. Main) or contact Boon at Chscheer@outlook.com.

CHS cheer has a 501(c)(3) number, so any and all donations can be used as a tax write-off, with receipt provided.

Whether you’re Bill Gates or merely someone willing to shake out the couch cushions, everything helps.

“No donation is too big or too small,” Boon said, with her customary … cheery … outlook.

He’s king of the gym

It was the last poll of the decade, and it came down to a mere handful of votes.

In the end, Coupeville High School boys basketball coach Brad Sherman rallied to edge out CMS boys hoops guru Greg White and lay claim to the “much-coveted” title of “Top Coach of the Winter 2019.”

Sherman finished with 176 votes in our 13-coach, 50-hour poll, which wrapped Monday morning, while White racked up 172 tallies.

Rounding out the top five were Alex Evans (154), Arik Garthwaite (108), and Megan Smith (43).

One (winter) coach to rule them all

Posted in Polls, tagged , , , , on December 28, 2019| Leave a Comment »

Clockwise, from top left, are Craig Anderson, BreAnna Boon, Michael Davidson, Alex Evans, Scott Fox, Arik Garthwaite, Sarah Reinstra, Jon Roberts, Brad Sherman, Chris Smith, Megan Smith, Patrick Upchurch, and Greg White.

You don’t have to fight, but it’s more interesting if you do.

It’s that time of the season, when David is looking for some sweet, sweet page hits, so he tosses a group of coaches in a (digital) room, slaps 50 hours on the clock, and waits to see who emerges triumphant.

The battle to be named “Top Coach of the Winter” kicks off Saturday, Dec. 28 at 7 AM, and closes Monday, Dec. 30 at 9 AM(ish).

We have 13 coaches repping middle and high school basketball, as well as CHS cheer.

As always, you can vote as many times as your little heart (and voting fingers) desire.

Now, as in every poll here on Coupeville Sports, there’s no real trophy, just a nice warm glow in the chest of the winner.

And the chance for that coach to lord it over every other coach, at least until we launch the “Top Coach of the Spring” a couple of months from now.

To the coaches involved, if you don’t care about the award, no worries.

And if you? Let the bodies hit the floor!
