One quick cut and he’s gone, leaving behind just a scorch mark on the grass.

They may not know how to spell his last name, but Logan Downes is already a star, following in the footsteps of older brothers Hunter and Sage.

A new season kicked off Monday.

The Oak Harbor Youth Football and Cheer League hit the gridiron to start practice and travelin’ photo man John Fisken was on hand to click away.

Five of the seven fall in the Pee Wees category (ages 7-8) while the other two call the Midget class (9-10) home.

Robin Cedillo, Jovanah Foote, Sylvia Hurlburt

   Six cheerleaders, one car. L to r, it’s Robin Cedillo, Moira Reed, Jovanah Foote, Tomi Herrera, Andrea O’ Brochta and Sylvia Hurlburt.

It’s camping season.

Both the Coupeville High School boys’ and girls’ basketball teams have hit camps, and now the Wolf cheerleaders are off to fine-tune their skill set.

The destination?

The Great Wolf Lodge in Centralia for a UCA cheer camp.

Wolves going to a lodge named after them, where they will likely out-howl and out-stunt everyone in sight?

It’s their (cheer) destiny.

Rockin’ Robin lights up the universe!!

Rockin' Robin Cedillo (John Fisken photo)

Strike a pose.

Strike a pose.

Queen of the fish.

Queen of the fish.

Robin Cedillo is like a force of nature.

A really, really, super-friendly, outgoing, sunshine-shooting-out-of-every-pore force of nature, at that.

The Coupeville High School sophomore, who celebrates a birthday today, is an athlete, a softball-playin’, cheer team-screamin’ whirlwind, but what truly sets her apart from most every other athlete is her happiness.

She is a walking, talking, frequently-giggling, epic smile come to life and she makes everyone around her, from family to teammates, at least 17% more joyful on a daily basis.

Seeing her interact with her little niece Charlie, who came unglued and almost stormed the field every time Auntie Robin did something on the softball diamond, would have melted even the Grinch’s heart.

There is a lot to be said for being so full of life, and seeing Robin bop by can’t help but make everyone’s day better.

I hope her birthday is as phenomenal as possible, cause she deserves to be celebrated.

You, rockin’ Robin, are freakin’ awesome, and I hope people tell you that every single day.

May your radiant smile never, ever dim, even for a second.

18 cheers for Amanda Foley!!

Amanda Foley

Amanda Foley

Amanda Foley overflows with talent.

The Coupeville High School senior, who celebrates a birthday today, does a little bit of everything and does it all supremely well.

Cheer, track, drama, band, ASB board and that’s just the start.

When I did a feature story on her in 2013 — https://coupevillesports.com/2013/09/01/cheerleading-isnt-just-short-skirts-and-big-smiles/ — it was easy to see she was a bright, brilliant young woman well on her way to accomplishing great things.

Today, as she nears graduation and plans for success at the next level — college and beyond — Foley remains one of the best this town has to offer.

Right now, as I write this, she is on a bus with her Wolf teammates, headed to another track meet.

I want to wish her the best — at the meet, on her birthday and in her boundless future.

You’re a bright shining star, Amanda.

Keep being yourself. Keep being super awesome.

Skip a coffee, help fund the future of Wolf cheer.

Coupeville’s Maddy and Amanda Neitzel have launched a GoFundMe fundraiser in an effort to raise $300 apiece to attend a top-level cheer camp this summer.

Maddy is already an award-winning cheerleader, having earned Most Improved honors after her first season on the football sidelines for CHS this past fall.

To discover more of her tale of becoming a first-time cheerleader, take a look back at a feature story I wrote on her, where she was kind enough to answer my questions and came off as a bright, personable young woman:

To find out more about the fundraiser (and hopefully kick in some change to help fuel their dream), pop over to:
