I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again.

Bailey Thule is my favorite photographer working the sidelines at Coupeville High School.

The Wolf senior has repeatedly demonstrated that she has a stellar eye for capturing pics which get past staged shots and truly showcase the personalities of her classmates.

She puts her subjects at ease and draws out something special, as seen in this latest batch of photos.

I don’t know what Bailey’s plans are for after high school.

But wherever she goes, and whatever she does down the road, I hope she keeps a camera nearby.

“I am so grateful for everything I gained from this sport.”

Alysia Burdge is the third Wolf cheerleader in her family, following in the footsteps of older sisters Kylie and Kiara, and she’s been front and center in the sport since the first day she was eligible to join.

Friday night the youngest Burdge was joined by four fellow veterans, as they were celebrated on Senior Night at halftime of the CHS boys’ basketball game.

As they exited, the spirit leaders made their positive feelings known.

“I grew up with a love and idealization for being a cheerleader,” Ember Light said. “And am so grateful that I got to spend high school being one.”

The spirit is strong in them.

Coupeville High School cheerleaders continue to shake the rafters game after game this winter, providing the background to Wolf basketball games.

Whether performing at halftime or verbally supporting their hoops-playing classmates during the heat of action, the Wolf spirit squad remains the best in the biz.

The season was a success.

While a return trip to state evaded the Coupeville High School competition cheer squad this season, the Wolves left it all on the mat.

An appearance at the Last Chance Qualifier in Yelm Saturday brought an end to the run for CHS, but coach Jennifer Morrell exited with head held high.

“We did not qualify for state this year, but we learned a lot,” she said.

“They are already planning next year’s routine.”

Coupeville, a small school competing against much larger institutions, beat the other 2B team in its category both of the last two weeks.

Saturday that was Chief Leschi, while last week it was Forks.

The Wolves also had wins over bigger schools this year, including knocking off 2A Kingston in December.
