The Wolves meet Seattle Storm standout Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis.

Past connections pay off.

New Coupeville High School girls basketball coach Scott Fox was a firefighter and fire captain in California before retiring to Whidbey.

During that time he worked 20 years with the father of Seattle Storm standout Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, seeing her rise from a junior high star to the national high school player of the year, then a three-time national champion at the University of Connecticut.

Friday night Fox got a chance to take seven CHS seniors to watch her play in person, as the Storm bounced the LA Sparks 84-62 at the Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett.

The Wolves – Tia Wurzrainer, Jered Brown, Hannah Davidson, Gavin Knoblich, Avalon Renninger, Jacobi Pilgrim, and Scout Smith – also got to meet Mosqueda-Lewis.

The 25-year-old small forward has enjoyed a stellar career at every level.

Mosqueda-Lewis was the ESPN National Player of the Year in 2010 and 2011, while adding the State Farm/WBCA High School Player of the Year, Naismith High School Player of the Year, and Gatorade National Player of the Year her senior season.

She captured gold medals four times while playing for different Team USA squads, was a three-time national champion at UConn, and won a 2018 WNBA title with the Storm.

Mosqueda-Lewis also holds the NCAA D-I women’s career record for made three-point shots, rattling home 398 three-balls, while shooting a crisp 44.7% from behind the arc.

Two finals down, two to go.

Coupeville grad Danny Conlisk stormed through the Saturday session of the three-day USATF Pacific Northwest Association Junior Olympic Championships, picking up two top-five finishes.

Running at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma, Conlisk, who is competing with the Kitsap Fliers this summer, finished 2nd in the 400, and he and his teammates claimed 5th in the 4 x 100.

He zipped across the line in 50.52 seconds in his individual event.

The Fliers relay squad struggled in the early legs, but got a big surge down the backstretch from their Coupeville ace and finished in 44.76.

Conlisk competes in two more finals Sunday, when he’ll run in the 200 and the 4 x 400 relay.

After that, he returns to action June 29 at the 5th annual Kitsap Fliers Invitational.

Conlisk is also scheduled to appear at the USATF Region 13 Junior Olympic Championships July 4-7 and the Pacific Coast Championship Games July 13-14.

After wrapping up the summer track season, the two-time state champion is off to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, where he’ll run for the NCAA D-II school on scholarship.

They threw weather at him, and a packed field, and yet he endured.

Coupeville’s Danny Conlisk stared down cold, windy conditions and a group of 31 other runners Friday, winning his prelim heat in the 200 at the USATF Pacific Northwest Association Junior Olympic Championships.

The two-time state champ, who is running for the Kitsap Fliers this spring and summer, hit the tape in 22.58 seconds at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma.

That was the best showing in heat #5, and seeds him #3 for the finals in the event.

It also qualified Conlisk for the Junior Olympic Regionals, which go down July 4-7.

His current meet is a three-day affair, with Conlisk scheduled to run in two finals each of the next two days.

He’ll lace up his running shoes for the 400 and 4 x 100 relay Saturday, then head to the line Sunday in the 200 and 4 x 400.

The past, present, and future of Coupeville basketball mingles.

The future Brad Sherman’s of Wolf basketball got to pick up a few lessons from the old-school version.

The Coupeville High School boys basketball coach, and legendary former player, joined up with fellow hoops coaches Thursday and Friday to run a successful skills camp for Coupeville athletes in grades K-8.

The two-day affair drew 75+ basketball players, split between girls and boys.

Sherman was joined by fellow coaches Scott Fox, Chris Smith, Megan Smith, Randy King, Greg White, and Randy Bottorff, as well as current CHS players.

Players were divided into four groups (K-1, 2-3, 4-6, and 7-8) and were offered a great learning opportunity in a fun environment.

As Coupeville coaches build local basketball programs to be strong from top to bottom, the skills camp is a welcome flashback to the sort of events held when Sherman, Megan Smith, and White were young players themselves.

Banish the dirt, and help a good cause.

The Coupeville High School volleyball team is back at it Saturday, June 22, running a charity car wash to raise money for all things spiker-related.

The soap bubbles fly from 10-2:30 at Ebey Academy, which is located at 140 SE Terry Road, across from the high school and just down from Prairie Center Red Apple Market.

Your donations will benefit one of the most successful sports programs at CHS.

The Wolves are coming off a season in which they finished 11-5, second in the North Sound Conference behind just King’s, which finished 3rd at the 1A state tourney.

Before that, Coupeville won back-to-back Olympic League titles and went to state in 2017.
