“Hercules! Hercules!!”

Veronica Crownover goes low, before unleashing a flawless bump.

Eyes locked on the ball, all the way.

Emma Smith controls the action, while Kalia Littlejohn (15) and Crownover wait to help.

Littlejohn flies into battle.

Just hangin’ out.

"Man! Are they going to take my picture all the time?!?!" Yes, Lindsey Roberts, the answer is yes.

“Man! Are they going to take my picture all the time?!?!” Yes, Lindsey Roberts, superstar daughter of two former CHS Athlete of the Years, the answer is yes.

The next generation of Wolf stars is hard at work.

Coupeville Middle School’s volleyball squads have kicked off action and are getting into the flow of sets, spikes and service aces.

If you want to see players like Lindsey Roberts, Veronica Crownover and Scout Smith before they hit the big gym, head out and catch the young Wolves in action.

Coupeville hosts King’s this Monday, Sept. 29, starting at 3 PM in the CMS gym (across the hallway from the high school gym).

Until then, take a gander at the photos above, captured on film by wanderin’ clicker John Fisken.

Young Wolves continue to mature!!

“This line will not break!” (John Fisken photo)

“Am I proud? You bet!”

Coupeville Middle School football coach Bob Martin has a very raw team at his command, but, for the second week in a row, the Wolves came dangerously close to an upset win.

An inability to convert PAT’s cost CMS in the end, letting host Port Townsend slip away with a 14-12 win. But, other than the final score, the day was one full of highlights for the Wolf faithful.

“We dominated the first half; the team did good,” Martin said. “We have a very young, very inexperienced team, all of who attend practice six days a week.

“They are progressing, they know their responsibilities and are motivated to excel and are a great group of kids to coach!”

Eighth grader Chris Battaglia carried the load on offense, racking up 100 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the ground. He also brought back a punt 30 yards and recovered a fumble on defense.

It was the second straight game he had recorded two touchdowns.

Teo Keilwitz (26 yards) and Sean Toomey-Stout (13) backed up Battaglia, while Wolf quarterback Shane Losey hooked up with Luke Martin for a 15-yard reception.

Battaglia and Jake Pease paced the CMS defense, collecting seven tackles apiece, with Toomey-Stout, Keilwitz and Jaushon Clay each picking up six.

Losey (3), Martin (2), Dawson Sorrows (2), Josh Robinson (2) and Gavin Knoblich (1 assist) all contributed, with Losey tacking on a team-high six assists and Toomey-Stout picking off a Port Townsend pass.

Wolf players go through warmups.

The future of Wolf volleyball will be on display this Thursday.

Having opened their season Monday with a match in Langley, the Coupeville Middle School volleyball squads now return to town for their home opener.

The opponent will be Sultan and play kicks off at 3 PM Thursday in the CMS gym.

If you’re in the mood for a long day of spikes and sets, you can skip across the hallway to the CHS gym for a high school match afterwards.

The high school edition of the Wolves play Mount Vernon Christian that evening, with JV at 5 and varsity at 6:15.

For the CMS spikers, the match-up with Sultan will give them a chance to even their record at 1-1.

Facing off with always-tough Langley, the Wolves lost in straight sets in both the 7th grade contest and the 8th grade JV match.

CMS rebounded by taking the opening set of the 8th grade varsity match, before eventually falling in three hard-fought sets.

Chris Battaglia is the future, and the future is bright.

The Coupeville Middle School eighth grader scored a pair of touchdowns in his team’s season opener Wednesday, heralding the start of what could be an impressive second season for the two-way star.

Battaglia plays fullback, outside linebacker and “head hunter” for the Wolves and went out for football last year because “I was interested in doing something active.”

He’s quickly becoming an active force for CMS, one who takes pleasure in success, both as an individual and as a teammate.

“I enjoy working with my team to complete plays and celebrating our touchdowns,” Battaglia said. “I think my strengths are my ability to run with speed and force.

“As one of the team captains I would like to help set up the seventh grade players for success in their following seasons.”

As he moves forward in his football career, he has his eyes set on prizes both near (“I’d like to work on not fumbling the ball”) and far (“My long term goal would be to obtain a college scholarship.”)

Battaglia plans to participate in SST (speed and strength training) after football and will run track for CMS in the spring. As a seventh grader he medaled in the mile, high jump and as part of a 4 x 200 relay unit.

He will also be running in The Biggest Loser half marathon.

Away from the field, Battaglia enjoys wood shop (“I like it because I get to work with my hands”) and snowboarding (“it’s such a fun sport and you get to feel so alive.”)

Regardless of what he’s doing, he never has to look very far to find a positive role model in his life.

“It’s hard to put into words, but all I can say is that my father, Brian Rogers, inspires me to be a great athlete and a great man.”
