Your wallet will NOT take a hit, after all.

A proposal to raise athletic fees for Coupeville High School and Middle School athletes has been pulled from the consent agenda for tonight’s school board meeting.

“It was removed because we realized we had not done our community income survey, which is required before making changes to the fees,” said Coupeville Schools Superintendent Steve King.

“So, if we change fees in the future, it won’t likely be until at least the 24-25 school year.”

The cost to play a sport at CMS remains at $50, while high school athletes pay $75.

Under the proposal, which would have raised fees for the first time in more than a decade, costs would have jumped to $75 and $110, respectively.

The move was related to things such as increased game fees for referees, though school officials offered assurances the district would continue to help athletes in financial need.

The change was expected to bring in an additional $15,000 for the district.

They’re on a pizza-eating tour of Eastern Washington.

Coupeville High School athletes are spending some of the first days of summer hanging out at Gonzaga University, picking up pointers to help fine-tune their games.

The Wolf boys’ basketball team will be in Drew Timme land — no word on whether coach Brad Sherman grew a mustache for the trip — this weekend for a hoops team camp.

Two Cow Town stars made the trip a little earlier, with Landon Roberts and Chase Anderson attending the Zags Baseball Prospect Camp.

The event, aimed at Class of 2025 and 2026 athletes, attracted a strong group of diamond dogs who hailed from multiple states.

Players arrived from Texas, California, Idaho, and Montana, among others.

All in attendance worked with Gonzaga coaches, picking up defensive and offensive instruction, plus nabbing a session with the school’s strength and conditioning coach.

Toss in pizza, talks laying out NCAA rules and recruiting info, and then a nine-inning game with coaches from other colleges eyeballing the action.

Anderson, who is headed into his sophomore year at CHS, took the mound, tossing two innings.

The lanky hurler whiffed four, while Roberts, an incoming junior, worked a frame in right field, then another at first base.

The Wolves switched up after that, with Roberts also working two innings on the bump, striking out a pair of rivals, while Anderson lurked in left field.

At the plate, Roberts walked, struck out, and lashed a laser to second base which was inches away from being a hit.

Anderson collected a base-knock, earned a free pass, and lofted a long fly out to cap things.

“Overall, this was an amazing day of baseball for these boys,” said Wolf Dad, and Coupeville coach, Jon Roberts.

“Most of these kids, we will see at D1 level teams in three years!”

Now, it’s off to the lake for a day, before a slight zig to meet back up with their basketball teammates at Gonzaga.

Get your car nice and shiny before it’s covered in bits and pieces of fireworks.

Coupeville High School volleyball players are hosting a two-day car wash at Ebey Academy Saturday and Sunday.

Money raised goes to help fund Wolf spikers as they get ready to rock La Conner and Co. this fall.

All the info is in the photo above, so, like a Grey Peabody spike hitting the floor, I’ve made an impact and am out of here.

Wolf grad plays in All-State gridiron game

Coupeville represented in the Eastern heat.

On a sunny Saturday where temps in Yakima crested into the mid-80’s, recent Wolf grad Dominic Coffman participated in the Earl Barden Classic.

The game is an annual all-star event for senior football players from classes 1B, 2B, 1A, and 2A.

In what was termed as “the hardest-fought game in the history of this football game” by event organizers, the East pulled out an 8-6 win in overtime.

Coffman, the Northwest 2B/1B League Offensive MVP during his final season at CHS, had two carries as a running back for the West team.

He also recorded five tackles, delivering several big hits, while “locking up my whole right side on defense.”

The game was scoreless after four quarters of play, with each team having a potential touchdown waved off by antsy refs.

In overtime, the East scored when Kaleb Hernandez of Royal shot in from three yards out, then added a two-point conversion run.

The West put points on the board with a one-yard plunge by Montesano quarterback Jaden McElravy.

Its two-point conversion failed, however, as the East swarmed Mount Baker running back Marcques George right in front of the goal line.

It was the fifth-straight win for the East, which was led by defensive MVP Jaden Radke of Okanogan.

By playing in the all-star game, Coffman follows in the footsteps of former Coupeville greats such as Mike Bagby (2006), Josh Bayne (2015), and Ryan Labrador (2019).

He was one of only two players selected from this region, joining Adriaan Castro of 2A Anacortes.

Coffman, a First-Team All-League pick on both sides of the ball, scored a team-high 14 touchdowns during his senior season.

Picking up most of his yards as a rusher after first slamming into, and knocking over would-be tacklers, he helped the Wolves tie the program record for most TD’s on the ground (26), first set back in 2014.

Coupeville went 7-2, won its first league title since 1990, and advanced to the state playoffs for the first time in 32 years under first-year head coach Bennett Richter.

“Mr. Black should be valued and recognized”

Posted in budget cuts, tagged budget cuts, CHS Wolves, Coupeville School District, Ivy Leedy, Tom Black on June 24, 2023| Leave a Comment »

Ivy Leedy and Tom Black

Listen to the community.

The decision to cut the Dean of Students position at Coupeville High School/Middle School, ending Tom Black’s 19-year run, is being met with universal resistance.

Current and former students continue to step up and speak out, praising the deeply positive impact the man has had, and calling for Superintendent Steve King to reverse his decision.

The latest letter to the editor:

Hey David,

I just wanted to say a few things about the Dean of Students, Mr. Black.

I feel that he should not be cut from Coupeville; he helps so many students in many different ways.

I know I wouldn’t have made it through high school without his guidance and support.

During my time in school, I was harassed by a student who said some very nasty things to me and broke into my house.

Mr. Black was right on it and helped me through it; eventually the student was expelled for his behavior.

Mr. Black is a staple in Coupeville.

He’s one of the best things about that school; walking down the halls and seeing him was the highlight of my day.

He would always greet me with a smile and tell me a joke; we had some good laughs.

If he was gone who would help students like he does?

Who would put a smile on their faces, who would make jokes, who would greet you in the morning?
