There’s a new King in Baker

Whidbey to Whatcom, and still killin’ it.

Coupeville grad Ryan King, a football captain who came back around to coach multiple sports at his alma mater, is the new head coach for the Mount Baker Junior High gridiron program.

An inductee into the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame, the burly lineman was a key player for the Wolves football program in the early 2000’s.

King was a captain as a senior in 2006 and helped lead the 2005 CHS squad, the last Cow Town gridiron team to post a winning record until Coupeville finally broke back through to the winning side in 2019.

Once he moved into coaching, the former Wolf worked as an assistant football coach at both the middle school and high school levels between 2011-2017.

He was also a head coach for Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball, where he worked with future high school stars like Chelsea Prescott, Genna Wright, and Mollie Bailey.

King was an assistant football coach in Mount Baker last fall, and now takes the reigns for a junior high program which feeds a high school which is consistently one of the best in a football-mad region.

“Very excited for this opportunity!” said the former Wolf.

Wolf athletes enjoy summer runs

The trails are alive with the sound of runners.

Coupeville athletes, both cross country harriers and ones hailing from other sports, have been busy as the summer has unfolded.

Under the stewardship of CHS running guru Elizabeth Bitting, the Wolves have been taking part in summer fun funs the past six weeks.

The events have drawn soccer booters, volleyball spikers, and cross country stars, with both current and alumni athletes represented.

“Whether they ran on the trails, UP the trails, around the oval, or on the roads, they were challenged every day, every week,” Bitting said.

“The SFR’s were capped off with a time trial on their respective home courses and some respectable times were ran,” she added.

“We are looking forward to the upcoming season.”

While we’re still knee-deep in summer, the start of fall sports is not that far off, with Wolf athletes encouraged to sign up using Final Forms now.

High school cross country practice begins August 21, with middle school runners debuting a week later.

It’s the sound of victory.

Finley and Scotlyn Helm continue to pile up trophies while chasing down would-be competitors at Washington Quarter Midget Association racing events.

With dad Jerry keeping their souped-up vehicles revving at high speed, the sisters are leading the way as an ever-growing group of Coupeville kids take over the Monroe Speedway.

They are Wolves, and they’re here to make their gas pedals howl.

No athletic fee hike for Wolves

Your wallet will NOT take a hit, after all.

A proposal to raise athletic fees for Coupeville High School and Middle School athletes has been pulled from the consent agenda for tonight’s school board meeting.

“It was removed because we realized we had not done our community income survey, which is required before making changes to the fees,” said Coupeville Schools Superintendent Steve King.

“So, if we change fees in the future, it won’t likely be until at least the 24-25 school year.”

The cost to play a sport at CMS remains at $50, while high school athletes pay $75.

Under the proposal, which would have raised fees for the first time in more than a decade, costs would have jumped to $75 and $110, respectively.

The move was related to things such as increased game fees for referees, though school officials offered assurances the district would continue to help athletes in financial need.

The change was expected to bring in an additional $15,000 for the district.

Middle school, here they come

They’re movin’ on and movin’ up.

Coupeville Elementary School Principal David Ebersole sent 85(!!) fifth graders on to their next destination Wednesday afternoon.

The Class of 2030 made the transition in their new home, during a ceremony in the high school’s PAC.

With the festivities complete, the young Wolves exited as sixth graders, set to start a three-year run as middle school students.

In the class are race car champs (Finley Helm), horse show champs (Abbie Moss) and the granddaughter (Hayli Marley) of my first-ever Videoville customer back in the day, Kathy Marley.

Which one will do something remarkable in the athletic world and make me consider, for a hot moment or two, of referring to them as “The Chosen One,” before common sense (and Willie Smith) makes me think twice?

Only time will tell.
