“It’s going to be such a great season!!”

Flip the calendar and refocus your mind.

August has arrived, which means, in less than three weeks, practice officially begins for fall high school sports.

No, it’s true. I swear.

Aug. 15 is the first day high school football teams can take the field in Washington state, while Aug. 20 is the kickoff date for volleyball, cross country, cheer, boys tennis and girls soccer.

With a new season, and a new school year, also comes a new league.

After a four-year run in the Olympic League, Coupeville joins Granite Falls, Sultan, Cedar Park Christian (Bothell), King’s and arch-rival South Whidbey in the North Sound Conference.

As they count down the days until the first practice, several Wolves (and one enterprising Falcon) drop by to let you know their thoughts and feelings, their goals and plans.

 

Ja’Tarya Hoskins (CHS junior):

My new goals for the cheer season are to learn and perform a lot of new stunts. Help spread cheer and Coupeville Wolves spirit.

 

Lily Leedy (CHS freshman):

To work better as a team. Learn plays and to show the opponent who’s boss.

 

Kody Newman (SWHS senior):

Very excited for this year’s conference! But most importantly…. THE BUCKET GAME!!!

Not only is it the biggest game of the Island, but it is also our Homecoming game! Ticket sales are sure to be raised for this game!!! Falcons are coming for revenge!

Best of luck this year to the Wolves and hopefully King’s does terrible, lol!

 

Lucy Sandahl (CHS junior):

My goal for the new season is to play every game with a new mind-set and put all the bad plays behind me and focus on the next point.

Another thing that I am looking forward to is getting to see how well our team adapts to all the new plays and players after having lost seven really strong seniors.

This new league has so much hype, but so do we; we’ve won two back-to-back league champs.

What makes them think we can’t do it again? We are strong, faster, and mentally unstoppable.

The only way we are going to get through this is together and it is going to be such a great season!!! I am so excited!

 

Emma Smith (CHS senior):

We want a winning season!!

Playing as a unit instead of six individuals is something we’ve been working on since last year, and is extremely crucial for us to do considering we pretty much have a new starting six.

We also want to go into the season confident in our skills and without the fear of “big, bad King’s.”

Wolves storm the big stage!!

It’s still the middle of summer, but fall sports are closer than you might expect.

That goes for college athletics as well, where at least five former Coupeville standouts are slated to compete at the next level in the coming months.

Nick Streubel, Jacob Martin, and Zane Bundy will be on the gridiron, Mia Littlejohn will be running the soccer pitch and Ally Roberts will be astride her trusty steed.

A look at what’s ahead for each:

Bundy:

A two-sport star during his days in Coupeville (soccer, football), he’s one of two kickers currently listed on the roster at Tabor College in Kansas.

The Bluejays open their season Sept. 1 against the University of St. Mary’s.

Littlejohn:

The CHS girls soccer single-season and career scoring leader is beginning her freshman year at Santa Monica College, where she plans to play both soccer and basketball.

The Corsair booters have two scrimmages in mid-Aug., then open the regular season Aug. 28 against Oxnard.

Martin:

A two-way gridiron terror during his days as a Wolf, the red-shirt freshman is headed back to Feather River College in California.

He’s aiming to use his time on the field with the Golden Eagles as a springboard to netting a D-II offer.

“I’ll be a strong safety/outside linebacker hybrid, otherwise known as “Rover,” and I’ll be a big special teams player,” Martin said. “Heads will be knocked this year!”

Feather River opens Sept. 1 against the College of the Sequoias.

Roberts:

A sophomore at Western Washington University, she’s quickly moving up in the equestrian world.

After competing on the English team last year, Roberts has been placed on the Western section squad this time around, and kicks off her season in Nov.

Streubel:

The oldest of the former Wolves, and the one with the most college championship rings.

“The Big Hurt” is on target to graduate this year, but is a red-shirt junior on the field at Central Washington University.

Streubel is coming off a season in which he was a First-Team All-Conference and All-Region pick while anchoring a very-effective Wildcat line at left guard.

CWU went 11-0, won a league title, and went into the playoffs as a #1 seed, where it fell 34-31 in an epic double overtime game to eventual NCAA D-II national champ Texas A & M – Commerce.

The Wildcats, who open the season Sept. 1 against Eastern Washington, are ranked #6 in the College Football America Yearbook preseason poll.

Learnin’ with the legend!!

The early bird gets the basket.

Former Coupeville hoops legend Makana Stone, just back from an all-star tour through Brazil and soon to head back to Whitman College for her junior season, is back on The Rock and still working hard.

She was in the CHS gym at the crack of dawn (6 AM or so) Saturday, and invited current Wolves to join her.

Three hoops stars, senior Ema Smith, and incoming freshmen Ja’Kenya Hoskins and Alana Mihill, accepted the challenge and were ruthless with their snooze buttons.

With Stone set for one more early morning workout Sunday at her alma mater, it presents an ideal opportunity for a Wolf legend to give back, and for current players to emulate the player they would all like to grow up to be.

“This is what it takes to improve your game,” said CHS coach Amy King. “Way to go, and a huge thanks to Makana for allowing them to join her.”

Conlisk caps summer running season!!

A brief nap before bringing the speed to the oval.

Conlisk was awarded this for setting a Fliers record in the 400.

After all the training, all the fundraising, all the cross-country travel, all the dodging of rain and lightning, the big event was over in less than a minute.

Running in Greensboro, North Carolina Friday morning, Coupeville’s Danny Conlisk finished his summer track season by competing in the 400 at the USATF Hershey National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships.

The Wolf senior, a four-time state meet participant at CHS, flew around the oval at Irwin Belk Stadium at North Carolina A&T University in 52.39 seconds.

Conlisk, running for the Kitsap Fliers, was competing in the boys 17-18 division, with 60 other runners from across the country.

There were eight heats in the 400, with the top eight times overall (regardless of where runners placed) advancing to Sunday’s final.

Those eight fleet-footed track stars will receive All-American status.

Derrick Price of New Era Track led the way Friday, burning through the heat and humidity to run a 47.35.

Conlisk, the student rep on the school board, now returns to CHS, where he’ll help the Wolves launch an in-house cross country program after a two-decade absence.

He also has one more track season remaining, where he’ll go for a fourth-straight state meet appearance.

Conlisk finished 2nd in the 400 as a junior, and was the only non-senior in the eight-man 1A finals this spring.
