A trio for the win.

Three multi-sport stars claimed awards Monday night, with Coupeville High School seniors Maddie Georges, Alita Blouin, and Aidan Wilson receiving the Cliff Gillies Award.

That honor, handed out by schools across the state, is named for a former longtime Executive Director of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.

It recognizes student/athletes who excel in scholarship, citizenship, and participation in activities.

Georges and Blouin were team captains for Wolf volleyball and basketball teams, with the duo selected to participate in the 1B/2B/1A All-State volleyball games.

Both were First-Team All-Conference selections as well, with Blouin honored for her play as a libero and Georges as a setter.

Maddie Georges made the All-Conference team in volleyball and basketball.

When basketball season rolled around, both players lit up the bucket.

Blouin led the Wolves in scoring, singing the nets for 204 points, while Georges, who finished as the #24 career scorer in program history, was tabbed as a Second-Team All-Conference player.

Wilson opened his senior year by scoring a team-high 10 goals on the soccer pitch, notching First-Team All-Conference honors.

Aidan Wilson soars to new heights.

Wilson came back around in the spring to claim three medals at the state track and field championships.

He finished 2nd in the 800 and 5th in the triple jump, before running a leg on a 2nd place 4 x 100 relay unit which missed a state title by the blink of an eye.

The Wolf ace wrapped things up by competing in the 51st annual Dennis McDonald Multi Events State Championship this past weekend.

While there, Wilson finished 7th out of 32 competitors in a two-day, 10-event decathlon.

Washington state’s most important high school football games are getting a big stage.

For one year, at least.

After using a mix of sites in recent years, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association has signed a one-year deal with the University of Washington.

That puts all six WIAA state title football games at Husky Stadium this fall.

“Gridiron Classic” goes down Dec. 1-2, with three games on both days.

Kickoff is set for 11 AM, 3 PM, and 7 PM, with 1B, 1A, and 3A playing Friday, and 2B, 2A, and 4A taking the field Saturday.

For Coupeville fans, Saturday’s opener is the one where they hope to be front and center.

Moving all the title games back to one location is an embrace of the past.

When the Kingdome was still standing, teams aimed for an appearance at “Kingbowl” between 1977 and 1994.

The event moved to the Tacoma Dome in 1995, where it ran under the name “Gridiron Classic” until 2018.

At the time, the WIAA cited “rising costs and sagging attendance” for abandoning the joint.

Though, there was also considerable blowback from fans, coaches, and players after Tacoma Dome renovations wrecked sightlines for football in the building.

The WIAA went to a format of two games each at three Pierce County high schools after that, with tepid response from all concerned.

Now, in a one-year trial, it’s Husky Stadium or bust for championship-hungry gridiron teams.

After that, the WIAA will solicit bids for its next five-year cycle (2024-2028).

The love of the game is already in place.

A pack of future Wolf volleyball stars flooded the Coupeville High School gym for a recent skills camp put on by CHS coaches and players.

The young guns, who hail from K-6, are just learning the finer points of the sport, but already showing the enthusiasm and thirst for knowledge which produces winners.

Plus, the lil’ spikers are getting used to having Wolf Moms snap pics as they play, preparing them for the spotlights of tomorrow.

They’re coming for all your titles. All of them, I said.

He went out like a champ.

Just a few days before graduation, Coupeville High School senior Aidan Wilson finished 7th out of 32 competitors at the 51st annual Dennis McDonald Multi Events State Championship.

The two-day event, which ran Friday and Saturday at Lake Stevens High School, put athletes through 10 events, as they ran, jumped, and threw in a decathlon.

Arlington senior Ryan Rushton came from behind to nip day #1 leader Tomeko Cates of Mary Walker for the title, racking up a 6,253-6,087 points advantage.

Wilson finished with 5,452 points.

The opening day featured competition in the 100, 400, shot put, high jump and long jump.

Back at it Saturday, Wilson busted through the 110 hurdles in 17.54 seconds, while rambling across the finish line in 4:35.40 in the 1500.

The Wolf senior also threw the javelin 135 feet, six inches, tossed the discus 91-06, and soared through the air in the pole vault, clearing the bar at 9-04.

“Long couple of days for him, but he was doing great!” said Coupeville High School track coach Bob Martin.

During his time at CHS, Wilson brought home five medals from the state track and field championships, winning two as a junior and three as a senior.

Thos two trips were the only ones he was eligible for, as the pandemic erased all spring sports when he was a freshman.

As a sophomore, Wilson and Co. returned to regular season action, but all postseason events were scrubbed.
