Desi Ramirez looks for an opening in the defense.

Skylar Parker would like a teammate to get open, like now.

Reese Wilkinson (24), backed up by Brionna Blouin, looks to kick the ball back out.

Adrian Burrows hauls in a rebound.

Claire Mayne keeps the ball well away from any pesky defenders.

They are the future of the program.

The Coupeville Middle School 7th grade varsity and 8th grade JV went toe-to-toe with King’s Thursday, and wanderin’ photographer John Fisken was there to document things.

The last photo in the camera had barely cooled when he legged it out of the gym and hit the open road to Tacoma to cover the state wrestling championships.

Now that he’s back on Whidbey and rested up, it’s time to look at his snaps from last week’s hoops action.

To see everything he shot, pop over to:

And remember, a percentage of each purchase goes to fund scholarships for CHS senior student/athletes. So, circle of life and all.

The weather was wet and very cold at Granite Falls, leading some to wrap up like a burrito in an effort to warm up after the race.

Fall has arrived.

If there was any doubt, the Coupeville Middle School cross country squad can attest summer is gone after running Tuesday at an eight-team meet in Granite Falls.

“It was a WET and cold one!,” said CMS coach Elizabeth Bitting. “EVERY runner got drenched, coach included.

“But they ALL had smiles on their shivering faces,” she added with pride in her voice. “Lesson learned on this one … invest in some cheap gloves! Poor kiddos couldn’t use their fingers at the end of the race to undo their safety pins.”

Still, despite the weather, the Wolf harriers continue to embrace every challenge as their school relaunches a cross country program which had lain dormant for two decades.

Tuesday’s event covered 1.5 miles, pitting the Wolves against rivals Langley, King’s, Northshore Christian, Sultan, Lakewood, Cedar Park Christian and the race hosts.

Cold or not, the afternoon landed in the win column for Bitting, who, through chattering teeth, declared “It was a good day!!!!”

Truly one team, one dream.

Competing Saturday at the King’s Roller Coaster Trail Run in Shoreline, the Coupeville Middle School harriers faced a larger-than-normal starting line.

That’s because this time out, both the girls and boys competed together, covering the 1.6-mile course in one teeming mass of humanity.

While it was a bit unusual, the Wolves rose to the occasion.

“There were some nerves but they all powered through,” said CMS coach Elizabeth Bitting. “The course was VERY HILLY and all appreciate the hills around Coupeville for helping them make it up and pass others on the hills.”

The race also gave the young harriers an opportunity to cheer on and hang out with their older compatriots from CHS, who were taking part in the same meet.

“It is a powerful moment when you see two of your middle school runners walk up to a high school runner and congratulate them on a great run,” Bitting said. “Plus cheering on our high school counterparts was so much fun!”
