Your donation would help these athletic superstars, who are now a wee bit older as members of the CHS Class of 2025. (Photo courtesy Jennifer Marzocca)

The Coupeville High School Class of 2025 is “in dire need of a fridge/freezer combo” for use in concessions after one of their two units unexpectedly bit the dust.

A bunch of food had to be chucked, incurring a loss for the seniors, and the frig is too old to have parts be easily replaced.

While the frig in the CHS gym is a recent donation and is steadily working away, the one which was lost is the one at the stadium, right as football and soccer seasons get underway.

With concession sales providing a major benefit for each year’s senior class, parents are scrambling to find a replacement and are hopeful someone out there may have one they would be willing to donate.

If you’d like to be their favorite person, you can reach them at chsclassof2025parents@gmail.com.

Get in my stomach, you tasty temptress! (Willie Smith photo)

Willie Smith is on the trail of culinary nirvana.

The Coupeville High School Athletic Director recently headed off to Friday Harbor with one mission in life — to eat a hamburger covered in mac ‘n cheese.

The Wolverines were selling the tasty treat as part of their concession fare for Friday’s football clash with CHS, and Smith was on the case.

Friday Harbor’s original offering, to which I say … dear sweet baby Jesus.

Unfortunately, as he bided his time in the line, the family right in front of him ordered the last available hamburgers.

After being (allegedly) tackled to the ground by wife Cherie and told that no, it was probably not a good look for an AD to sucker punch a kid for his burger, Willie found an alternative.

He got the concession stand folks to apply the mac ‘n cheese (and some bacon and condiments) to a hot dog and wandered away happy.

While some random Friday Harbor family remained blissfully unaware of how close they came to meeting the vaunted Two Fists o’ Fury.

Now back on his own island, Smith has had top-secret conversations with Coupeville’s football foodies, and word is the mac ‘n cheese dog is likely to be on the menu for the next Wolf home game.

That event, a Homecoming clash with Forks, is slated for Friday, Oct. 13.

Prepare your stomachs, Wolf Nation!

Coupeville football legend Sean Toomey-Stout will tackle you if you don’t have a ticket. Spoiler: It will probably hurt. (Photo by JohnsPhotos.net)

It’s the third most important meet of the season.

Coupeville High School hosts the District 1 track and field championships Saturday, May 14 — the stepping-stone to Bi-Districts and the state meet.

Things will be hoppin’, with 12 teams — three 2B schools and nine 1B ones — competing.

Cedar Park Christian-Lynnwood, Fellowship Christian, Grace Academy, Lopez Island, Lummi Nation, Mount Vernon Christian, Providence Classical Christian, Shoreline Christian, and Concrete round out the 1B field.

On the 2B side, it’s Coupeville, La Conner, and Friday Harbor.

Field events begin at 11 AM, with running events kicking off a half-hour later.

Making it even more of a festive occasion, the CHS concession stand will be open for business all day.

But, and this is important — for the first time this season you’ll have to pay to attend a track meet, and you can’t do so with cash.

Spectators have to enter through the main entrance at Mickey Clark Field, which sits right behind Coupeville Elementary (6 S. Main).

The back entrance by the baseball field is reserved for athletes and coaches.

Tickets have to be purchased online through GoFan, and you’ll need your phone to show your ticket(s).

No cash sales will take place.

 

Admission prices:

Adults and students without ASB — $7
Children (5-12) — $5
Senior citizen (62+) — $5
Student with ASB — $5

 

To purchase tickets, pop over to:

A new concession stand at Mickey Clark Field is behind that window, replacing the old snack shack seen on the other side of the field. (Scott Losey photos)

Wolf fans can enter to the left of the building, instead of walking around the back and using a side entrance.

Work was also done on the elementary school and the entrance to the new stadium, along with permanent bathrooms being added.

So, faster than the stadium.

A new concession stand/ticket booth, permanent bathrooms and main entrance to Mickey Clark Field have been finished, and will be in use for Friday night’s Coupeville High School Homecoming football game.

Instead of wandering down the backside, weaving past the elementary school and coming in through a side entrance, as fans have done at the first three home games this year, you can now walk in straight off the CES parking lot like in the “olden” days.

Only now, you won’t have to walk clear across the football field/track to get to the snack shack, and the Porti-Potties are an afterthought, and not your only choice.

CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith confirmed the change Friday morning, using a surprising amount of exclamation points (for him). The influence of Coupeville Sports grows.

“Yes, we are good to go to use the main entrance this evening!!” he said in a short press release, then bounded away to deal with the other 10,000 issues on his schedule.

Konni Smith, who runs the concession stands, which benefit CHS Class of 2019 students like daughter Emma, was equally thrilled to make the jump from the old snack shack to her new digs adjacent to the home stands.

“I loaded up with food! Wahoooo!!”

Then she bounded away to deal with the other 10,000 issues on her schedule.

Piling up that Senior Trip cash, one hot dog sale at a time.

   Speedy Lauren Grove slows down long enough to catch a moment with the parental units.

   Having won their tennis matches, Wolf netters (l to r) Fanny Deprelle, Payton Aparicio and Sage Renninger stop by to cheer on their classmates.

Jacob Martin gets a little help with his prom proposal.

   Ema Smith has never turned down a photo request. Ever. That’s why she’s the best.

   The Lindsey Roberts Fan Club is on scene. Much raucous cheering, mainly from mom Sherry (left) soon ensued.

   Toomey-Stout returns to Earth and leans in for a group pic with (l to r) Mckenzie Meyer, Lindsey Roberts and Lauren Bayne.

The sun was shinin’, the PRs were poppin’ and the cameras were clickin’.

Monday brought the season’s second official home track meet to Cow Town, and all the noise and activity lured in the paparazzi as well.

John Fisken was on hand to snag action pics, but also swung his camera around to capture some behind-the-scenes moments as well.

If you like what you see, pop over to his site — http://www.johnsphotos.net/ — and support his work.

When you do, money gets kicked back to provide college scholarships to CHS student/athletes. So, win-win.
