It’s got everything.

Parkour.

Elaborate hand-drawn escape maps.

Sarah Wright dodging invisible lasers and “swimming” from wall to wall while sliding down the hallways of Coupeville High School.

A single piece of confetti, a used-up co2 cartridge, and “a very, very good painting” that no one wants.

A slow speed car chase with one of the “cops” playing a trombone.

Harris Sinclair watching bear videos in the getaway car.

Plus, Chris Battaglia rocking a fur coat and long hair, Madison Rixe screaming “I’m not going back to jail” and Coupeville Schools Superintendent Steve King talking about how he no longer twerks.

Put it all together, with a lot more cameos, a few surprises, and Ryan Labrador being repeatedly hit by flying objects, and you have the latest link in a long-running CHS tradition.

It’s known as the “torch video,” and every year the graduating class produces one as they attempt to pass the torch to the incoming seniors.

This year’s version, crafted by the Class of 2019, is known as “Ocean’s 19,” and it’s a piece of prime-time crime-time.

Graduation is on its way, but first the biggest event of them all.

The day before Coupeville High School’s 12th graders walk to the podium in pursuit of their diplomas, the Class of 2019 took to the open roads.

Thursday brought the annual Senior Parade, as a stream of vehicles peeled out of the CHS parking lot and toured the town.

John Fisken showed up to snap the happenings, and the photos above are courtesy him.

Honors keep coming for Conlisk and crew

Coupeville hits the big board at T-Mobile Park.

Conlisk is the 9th state champ added to the Wall of Fame in the Coupeville High School gym.

Danny Conlisk got his big-city bow.

The Coupeville High School senior and other spring sports state champions were honored Wednesday by the Seattle Mariners.

Conlisk sprinted away with titles in the 200 and 400 at the 1A state track and field championships in Cheney at the end of May.

Those were the first state titles won by a Wolf since Tyler King captured track and cross country crowns in 2010.

While Conlisk, his family, and CHS assistant track coach Neil Rixe went out to the ball game, the Coupeville Booster Club was busy prepping another honor.

Jon Roberts spent part of his Wednesday morning adding new plaques to the Wall of Fame in the CHS gym, making sure they would be up before Conlisk and the Class of 2019 graduate Friday night.

And track and field isn’t the only sport benefiting.

Wolf cheer (3rd place at state) and softball (North Sound Conference champs and 9th at state) join track, which adds plaques for the boys finishing 5th at state, the girls claiming 9th at the big dance, and Conlisk winning his titles.

Lucy Tenore digs Disney, volleyball

Spike, bump, serve, relax.

For Lucy Tenore, life on the volleyball court offers the perfect escape.

“It gives you a chance to forget about everything that day and do something you love and can count on,” she said.

Tenore, who will be a freshman at Coupeville High School this fall, plans to play tennis as well, but it’s volleyball she digs the most.

“I love it because I always get to be with my teammates,” she said. “I believe my strength is being a cheerleader for my teammates.”

She’ll enter high school play already possessing one thing coaches love to see – height – and brought a nicely-developing skill set with her whenever she hit the floor during middle school action.

A hard worker, both in practice and matches, Tenore always tries to stay positive. Though sometimes that takes a little extra effort.

“I’d like to work on not getting so down on myself when I make mistakes,” she admitted.

But with the support and encouragement of her main cheering section — “my parents, my dog, and my little sister” — Tenore has big dreams.

“My goal is to be on the volleyball varsity team all four years of high school,” she said, with confidence in her voice.

Away from the volleyball floor, Tenore stays busy, keeping up with school work and extracurricular activities.

In addition to her sports pursuits, she’s joined the Scouts BSA program and pledges to stay loyal to her life-long fascination with all things from the House of Mouse.

“My deepest love is for Disney,” Tenore said. “I have always had an addiction to Disney music, Disney movies, and, most of all, Disneyland.”
