The venue may be changing, but the attitude is not.

As Coupeville High School cheerleaders depart the football field and head inside for basketball season, one thing will remain consistent — their larger-than-life school spirit.

Wolf coaches Emily Stevens and Amanda Jones are currently working with a roster which goes 12 deep, though that may change.

For the moment, this is who looks like they will be in uniform for Coupeville when hoops action tips off at the end of the month:

Ashleigh Battaglia
Julie Bucio
Kayla Caudle
Coral Caveness
Maggie Crimmins
Gaby Halpin

Through good weather and bad, through wins and losses, they bring the noise and the funk.

The Coupeville High School fall cheer squad is the best in the biz, and Friday night they honored six of their own on Senior Night.

“Cheer is fun!!”

Nothing slows down Mira Mostafavinassab.

While some of us complain about minor aches and pains, the Coupeville High School senior faces much bigger challenges with an up-beat attitude, determined to do everything her classmates do.

“Although having Down Syndrome makes me different, I am a typical teenager that loves the band One Direction, watching movies, and spending time with my friends,” Mostafavinassab said.

She’s in her second season on the Wolf cheer squad, and was in the thick of things Friday as she and her squad performed for fans during the home opener against La Conner.

Mostafavinassab is a veteran of the cheer game, having also put in three years for a youth team called the Evergreen Shooting Stars in Woodinville.

From the moment she showed up for Friday night’s performance, Mostafavinassab was a vital presence for the Wolves.

Other cheerleaders came over to hug her while the team was setting up, and she returned their love back to them, capturing the cheer squad’s Ohana mentality.

“Cheer is fun and I love hanging out with the cheer team,” Mostafavinassab said. “They are all so sweet.”

There’s no stopping Kiara Burdge.

The former Wolf cheer captain, who graduated with the Coupeville High School Class of 2017, is back in the spotlight (where she deserves to be), after dropping a new song.

“Two Simple Words” is actually from 2015, and it’s the first song she wrote, but it just made its internet debut thanks to SoundCloud.

Burdge, who has gone on to write and sing quite a bit more, remembers this first effort fondly, as it lit a fire under her creative side.

“This song has a special place in my heart because it was the first time I realized creating music was a possible outlet for me, and that realization changed my life,” she said.

So, take a listen, and catch an ever-soaring star, so you can say you knew Kiara before the rest of the world caught on to how amazing she is.
