Friday Harbor or bust!!

It’s tourney time.

And, frankly, it’s been several years since we even heard that around these parts.

For some reason, Coupeville High School basketball squads have been AWOL in recent years when it came to attending in-season tournaments.

But that changes today, as the Wolf girls are off to Friday Harbor for the Tip-Off Classic.

Coupeville plays Overlake at 2 PM, followed by the hosts tipping off against South Whidbey. Friday’s losers and winners pair up Saturday at 10 AM and 1:30 PM, respectively.

Depending on how things play out on day one, the Wolves might get a chance for some revenge against their Island rivals. CHS fell 32-30 to South Whidbey Wednesday in the season-opener.

And, in a twist, the Wolf JV squad will get a game at the tourney as well, with a match-up against Friday Harbor Saturday.

Going on an actual trip (the varsity and its coaches will spend the night Friday) not only gets the Wolves two games, but a chance to come together in a team environment in a way a regular bus trip to a game wouldn’t allow.

“It should be a great bonding experience for the team,” said Coupeville coach David King.

Best way to kick off a new season?

Portrait night.

With basketball returning to the CHS gym Wednesday, the Wolf winter cheer squad made its debut on the sidelines as well, and travelin’ photo man John Fisken was there to document the proceedings.

By the time he was done clicking, we had these extra-glossy, suitable-for-framing photos of the 10 young women who are repping the red and black this season.

To all the mamas and grandmas out there, you’re welcome.

Mckenzie Meyer pulled double duty, bouncing between band and cheer all night long. She also ripped off a string of cartwheels (seriously) for extra credit. (John Fisken photos)

Who hides behind the mascot heads? It’s a state secret.

“You ever see that movie “Drumline?” Bunch of amateurs compared to us…”

Wolf net ace Aiden Crimmins swings by to hang out with the band.

The back row, up to no good, as usual.

“A sax solo? You don’t have to ask twice.”

It ain’t a thing, unless it’s got that swing.

Stepping up bold and loud, the Coupeville High School pep band, with some help from a guest appearance by the Oak Harbor High School pep band, made its season debut Wednesday when it held court at the Wolf basketball doubleheader.

In between wailing on their instruments and screaming their lungs out in support of their hoops teams, the band members also snagged some photo ops thanks to travelin’ clicker John Fisken.

The CHS band, while not all pictured here, includes:

Jamar Jenkins (Instructor)
Jakobi Baumann
Jaschon Baumann
Nick Blalock
Laurence Boado
Luci Coleburn
Beauman Davis
Natasha Estes
Kaley Grigsby
Jake Hoagland

Court queens return to action!!

Plus, she’s got a nice-sized fan section that includes big sis Tiffany.

That moment as a defender when you realize you’re dead in the water and Lauren Rose is about to obliterate you.

You do not shoot on Allison Wenzel’s hoop. Ever.

Makana Stone: “Excuse me while I sneak past you and grab that rebound.”

CHS coach David King imparts wisdom to his squad. “The more times you put the ball in the bucket, the less angina I have, ladies.”

Lauren Grove, the Leaning Tower of Rebound.

The basketball has only been gone for a second and Mia Littlejohn already misses it.

The most successful teams in the school are back.

Of course, the Coupeville High School girls’ basketball squads are not quite the same teams as a year ago, when they combined to go 29-12 and sweep 1A Olympic League titles.

Graduation and attrition have shuffled the rosters, but the same spirit remains.

As they opened a new season Wednesday against Island rival South Whidbey, travelin’ photo man John Fisken was on hand to document the on-and-off-court doings.

Some of his best work can be seen above.

Rumble on the hardwood!!

Cameron Toomey-Stout’s free-throw game is so strong all South Whidbey players can do is stand back, smile, and marvel at the beauty of it all.

Jordan Ford (left) and Jared Helmstadter team up to play lock-down defense.

Beauman Davis reflects on his place in the cosmos while waiting for a teammate to get open.

Ryan Griggs, bringing back the old school ‘stache while rockin’ a new school jumper.

Try to guard Desmond Bell and you will feel the pain, son.

Risen Johnson, too quick for you to catch.

Luke Merriman, deep thinker. Or so he’d like us to believe.

The action was heated, the fouls had a little more emphasis than normal and the cameras were clicking.

Wednesday night brought another round of rivalry games to Coupeville, as eternal enemy South Whidbey ventured into the heart of the Island.

As the Wolves and Falcons clashed on the hard-court, travelin’ photo man John Fisken was busy working the sidelines in between sips of Diet Coke.

Some of his eye-poppin’ work is captured above for your light-reading entertainment.
