So many photos still out there…

As we enter that stretch between the end of fall sports and the start of winter sports, I’m going back through the mountains of pics shot during September and October, in an effort to retrieve some of those which never saw the light of day.

It wasn’t that they weren’t great shots, but they ended up being bumped at the time for one reason or another.

Now, we’re reclaiming them.

This time around, it’s Coupeville Middle School volleyball pics shot by travelin’ photo man John Fisken.

“You really think you can stop my shot?!?!?”

The Wolves are on the prowl.

Coupeville’s 6th/7th grade SWISH girls’ basketball team opened the weekend with a howl, traveling down to La Conner Saturday and decimating their opponents.

The Wolves shredded Mount Vernon Christian 40-14 to improve their league record to a flawless 2-0.

Coupeville is 2-2 overall.

Basketball begins again.

Well, in a week it does.

Next Monday, Nov. 9, Coupeville Middle School boys’ hoops hotshots get a head start on everyone with their first day of practice.

CMS girls start Feb. 1, after the boys are done, while the high school squads kick off practice Nov. 16.

The CMS boys, who are coached by Bob Martin (8th) and Randy King (7th), are set to kick off game play the last day of November, with a 10-game schedule.

The Wolves will be home on Mondays this season (action tips off at 3:15) and hit the road Thursdays, with two games each against five opponents.

When the girls take over in February they’ll flip the schedule, with road games on Mondays and home games Thursday.

I would tell you to laminate the schedules, but, if the past is any kind of reliable indication, it might be better to write the dates down with a pencil and keep a big eraser handy.

To keep up to date on any changes, pop over to: http://coupeville.tandemcal.com/

CMS boys:

Mon-Nov. 30 Chimacum

Casie Dunleavy

   CMS 7th grade coach Casie Dunleavy tries out some mock outrage, though, in her heart, she knows her team is amazing.

Naps are great.

Probably not a good idea when you’re planning to cover middle school volleyball live, and sleep right through actually leaving the house to go attend said match, but it happens.

In my defense, I was up early to do work for the Help House in Oak Harbor, and thought I’d catch a few moments in the middle.

Four hours later I come back to the world, at which point the Coupeville Middle School spikers have already dismantled visiting Port Townsend … from what I was told by people who actually showed up.

Anyway, here’s some lovely photos from previous matches that we haven’t seen before, and call it even.

Me? I’m going back to bed.

“Breakin’ ankles and takin’ names, all day long. It’s what I do.”

A step away from being the next wave of Wolf hoops stars.

That’s where Coupeville’s 6th/7th grade SWISH players are.

Some will make their debut as Coupeville Middle School players this winter, while others are still a year away. But they’re coming, and they’re hungry.

Learn their names. Appreciate their games.

You’ll be seeing them for years to come (if we’re lucky).

As they played Saturday, travelin’ photo man John Fisken was there to capture them on film.
