Winter has been good to them.

Coming off of strong seasons as a basketball player and swimmer, respectively, Wolf seniors Danica Strong and Finn Price are being recognized by the Coupeville Lions Club.

The duo has been tabbed as Students of the Quarter for the third section of the 2025-26 academic year.

The Lions honor two students each quarter, with the winners picked by the school staff.

Founded in 1938, the club annually awards scholarships to top CHS grads, and selects two Wolves as the Students of the Year.

Criteria used in the selection of the top students include community service, effort, character, social relationships, scholarship, ethical behavior, and integrity.

Danica Strong, daughter of CHS grad Danette Beckley, plays softball and basketball, while also operating as the manager for the Wolf football team.

She stays busy as a member of Future Farmers of America, ASB, and Skills USA, while volunteering with youth sports, the food bank, and community cleanup.

When she’s not in class, where her favorite subjects are history and English, Strong can be found working part-time jobs at Home Depot and Aqua Gifts.

After graduation this spring, she plans to attend college to major in dental hygiene.

Finn Price, son of Craig and Rachel Price, qualified for the state swim meet three times, despite CHS not having a pool or an aquatic program.

The water wizard trained and competed with Mukilteo during the regular season, before splitting off on his own each postseason.

Having earned Eagle Scout status, Price also competes as a track athlete for the Wolves and is on the Exec Board and a member of the National Honor Society.

In his limited spare time, he works as a lifeguard and is involved in community service through the Scouts and with various festivals and conservation projects.

Price plans to attend Whitman College, which recruited him as a swimmer, while studying filmmaking.

Another season in the books.

The 109th campaign for Coupeville High School boys’ basketball reached its end Friday, as head coach Brad Sherman and his assistants honored their players at an awards banquet.

Senior Chase Anderson, who finished his run as the #7 scorer in program history with 943 points, topped things off by being selected as team MVP.

La Conner attempts to slow down Chase Anderson by any means necessary.

He was joined by fellow varsity players Camden Glover, who was tabbed Offensive Player of the Year and Malachi Somes, named Defensive Player of the Year.

After battling back from extensive injuries, senior Aiden O’Neill received the “Our Way” Character Award, while sophomore Carson Grove was the Rookie of the Year.

Wolf seniors were also acknowledged for their long-term commitment to the CHS program.

Anderson, O’Neill, Glover, and Somes received Four-Year Awards, with Easton Green honored for putting in three years on the high school hardwood.

Spring sports loom, but so does Mother Nature

Making schedules for spring high school sports is a dangerous business.

Especially in western Washington state, where Mother Nature is usually up to shenanigans and views the attempted launching of outdoor seasons in March to be a bold, and often foolhardy, endeavor.

But we all go on, using pencils instead of pens.

So, here’s what seems to be in place for Coupeville squads as of Mar. 5, the fourth day of practice for softball, tennis, track, and baseball.

Will it all change? Likely as soon as I hit publish.

Who will be #100?

Of those, 10 have finished atop the podium, winning a state title — eight boys and two girls — with the King boys splitting top honors.

Kyle King has five state titles, which ties him with Natasha Bamberger, who nabbed four in track and another in cross country, while Tyler King nipped his older brother 11-10 in the overall medal race.

Wolf hammer thrower off to stellar start

Posted in Track, tagged , , , , on March 2, 2026| Leave a Comment »

Coupeville’s Khanor Jump is transitioning from basketball to track and already making some big noise. (Jackie Saia photo)

He’s got some zing in his fling.

Coupeville High School sophomore Khanor Jump finished 3rd in the hammer throw Saturday at a meet held at Evergreen State College in Olympia, smashing his PR by a solid seven feet.

The Wolf ace launched his implement 117 feet, two inches, thoroughly besting his top mark from his freshman campaign of 110-02.

The hammer throw is not part of the traditional lineup for Washington state high school teams during the regular season, so throwers have to find other outlets.

Jump was competing in the Hammer Meet Series Polar Bear event, part of a string of competitions which will lead up to the Washington Hammer State Championships, which are held separately from the WIAA state meet.

He finished 22nd in that finale last year, second-best showing of any freshman in the field, but obviously wants more this time around.

“Good improvement from last year, great start!” said CHS coach Bob Martin. “Pretty sweet!”
