Avis Mitchell produces superstars.

Whether she’s working the sidelines as a coach, or raising her own children, the nicest hoops guru I know has a stellar track record.

And today marks one of her greatest accomplishments, the day she delivered twin titans into the world.

Coupeville High School seniors Dante and DeAndre Mitchell, who are a mere seven days away from returning for another run on the hardwood, are celebrating a joint birthday today.

Like a lot of twins, I can’t always tell them apart without basketball uniforms and a roster at my disposal.

Probably because I’m an idiot.

When we’re talking Coupeville twins and being able to tell who’s who, you range from stunningly easy (Joey/Skyy Lippo, for obvious reasons) to fairly easy (Lauren/Kayla Rose) to take a guess (Dante/DeAndre and Jake/Josh Lord) to no-way-in-heck (Ana/Ivy Luvera … four years and I never got it right).

But whether or not I always know which twin I’m looking at, they both score big in many ways.

Talented athletes, certainly, with the kind of free-flowing, air-walking game that big bro Anthony Bergeron brought to Wolf hoops before them.

But, also like Anthony, and like their mama, Dante and DeAndre class the joint up with their presence.

Smart, outgoing, well-liked by teammates, coaches and fans, they should make their mom proud.

As we head into a new hoops season, I hope they get a chance to have a big break-out in their final go-around, just like Anthony did as a Wolf senior.

It would be fitting for a duo who play with passion and a pedal-through-the-metal style.

Happy birthday, Dante and DeAndre, and all the best as you start dropping jumpers, and, perhaps, dunking like your brother.

The future is bright for both of you, and the present ain’t too bad, either.

Freshman Chris Battaglia was second on the team in tackles and first in sacks.

And now the end has come.

Fall sports officially came to an end Friday night, with the Coupeville High School football squad wrapping its season on Vashon Island.

But, before we let go for good, one final look at Wolf football stats, with a couple of new names slipping in just under the deadline.

Jacob Zettle hauled in his first varsity pass, Teo Keilwitz got his first carries at running back and Ryan Labrador collected his first-ever varsity tackles in the finale.

"Ow, ow, owie ow ow..." (John Fisken photo)

“Ow, ow, owie ow ow…” (John Fisken photo)

Coupeville helped set Washington state high school football history Friday night.

Not that anyone probably wants to talk about it all that much.

When the Wolves lost 70-31 at Vashon Island to end a 1-9 season, they were savaged by Pirate running back Bryce Hoisington in a way no team in modern recorded state history has ever been.

The Vashon junior carried the ball 51 times for 573 yards and nine touchdowns.

By doing so, Hoisington broke two records for 11-man football in Washington state.

The 573 yards shattered the previous single game record of 488 yards put up by Eisenhower’s Branden Curtis in 2012, and the final burst also allowed Hoisington to capture the single season record as well.

He ran for 2,929 yards and 32 touchdowns on 337 carries this season, breaking a yardage record that had stood for all of a season.

Chiawana running back Austin Urlacher set the record in 2014, when he collected 2,877 yards over 14 games as his team advanced to the 4A state title game.

Hoisington broke the record while playing four less games.

While we try to figure out how Vashon missed the playoffs — the Pirates finished 4-6, somehow losing to Chimacum along the way — let’s take a look at his record-breaking stats, courtesy a chart from the Tacoma News-Tribune.

Forks — 28 carries for 136 yards
Port Angeles — 34-266
Charles Wright — 41-376
South Delta (B.C.) — 38-288
Marriott (B.C.) — 6-150
Charles Wright — 33-380
Bellevue Christian — 40-289
Cascade Christian — 24-102
Chimacum — 42-369
Coupeville — 51-573

What can you say but this? Congratulations Mr. Hoisington, and we hope we don’t see you again next season.

Burdge

Burdge sucks Naika Hallam into her selfie game.

Two rules.

One, cheerleaders like to take photos, and two, photos of cheerleaders gets a lot of page hits.

So we’re going back to the well for a second time today, with more pics featuring the Coupeville High School cheer squad as it spent the day taking part in Spirit Day at the University of Washington.

And a big thank you to all the Wolf cheerleaders and coaches who sent me photos today.

You are all the real MVPs.

The Wolves are on the prowl in the big city.

With the high school football season just wrapped, Coupeville’s cheer squad pulled itself out of bed at the crack of dawn Saturday to head to Seattle.

Their destination? The University of Washington, where they are joining a massive halftime performance during tonight’s Husky game against Utah.

UW Spirit Day attracts more than 500 high school and junior high school cheerleaders.

As they prepared for their national debut (the game kicks off at 4:30 PM on Q13 Fox), the Wolves maintained a strong photo game, which they share with us in the pics above.
