Famous alumni, candy and cookies, and babies — the Coupeville High School press box was a happenin’ place Friday night at the home football finale.

Joel Norris, master of the scoreboard and a man who still deeply misses dancing to “The Wobble” after games, was on the top of his Food Network game with an assortment of tasty desserts.

But the sweetest thing in the box was an appearance by the lil’ daughters of former Wolf greats CJ Smith and Sylvia (Hurlburt) Smith, in town to see family and be seen.

Take a look at the head of hair on one of those sassy prairie princesses!

In related news, Wolf Athletic Director Willie Smith has NOT confirmed the district will be making some extra money by offering press box babysitting services next season.

But he did seem intrigued by the idea.

And hey, I worked at a care center for babies and young children, and my three nephews still have all their limbs after growing up with Uncle David, so I’m kind of qualified.

Just sayin’…

It’s the basketball circle of life.

Help out with behind the scenes work at next summer’s Hoopaholics camp, and it will come back to benefit Coupeville basketball programs.

The camp, which brings numerous adult players to Whidbey Island, including U-Dub and NBA legend Steve Hawes, is in its 34th year of existence.

Participants stay at Camp Casey, with games held at the Coupeville High School gym during Father’s Day weekend June 16-18, 2023.

Volunteers are needed to help run the score board, do food prep, and set up.

Donations of cookies, snack mixes, and other homemade or store-bought goodies is also a priority.

Hoopaholics has a strong relationship with CHS basketball, and always makes a financial donation back to aid the Wolf hoops programs.

To volunteer, contact Amy Briscoe at (360) 632-2229.

Jaelyn Crebbin is here for the game, but a free cookie is a free cookie.

Aiden Burdge bides his time, waiting for the play to develop.

High school hoops hotshots (l to r) Peytin Vondrak, Ema Smith and Sarah Wright stop by to sign some autographs.

Logan Martin brings his defender, and the crowd, to their feet.

Izzy Wells knows not of these cookies of which you speak.

Dakota Eck slices through the defense.

“You want some cookies? Good thing the store’s right across the road, isn’t it?”

The gym was hoppin’ and the camera was clickin’.

Monday afternoon was a busy time in the Coupeville Middle School gym, as the Wolves faced off with visiting Port Townsend, drawing in a mix of fans and paparazzi.

The inner circle is opening up.

So, now’s your time. Don’t miss it.

With several parents preparing to leave with their children no longer being in high school, the Coupeville Booster Club is seeking new blood in its ranks.

The organization, which does a lot of the behind the scenes work that helps keep Wolf sports up and running (and, sometimes, has cookies, I’ve been told…) will hold its next meeting Aug. 24.

They’ll be meeting in the health room (step inside the main door at the CHS gym and it’s the first door on your left) at 6 PM that night.

Mark your calendar. Get your school spirit marinating. Prepare to step into a world of red and black from which you’ll never come back.

Oh, and if anyone is thinking about baking cookies that night, I am available for pre-meeting cookie-tasting sessions.

Just saying.

One day, two superstars!!

Once a Wolf, always a Wolf — softball/cheer/cookie baking whiz kid Emily Licence.

There are a million, billion twinkling lights in the Wolf Nation universe, and two of the brightest share a birthday today.

Zane Bundy and Emily Licence are united by the day they popped into the world, and by general awesomeness, if not by a school anymore.

Licence, who a year ago was just about to slap on her face mask and patrol third base for CHS at the state softball tournament, now lives in California after a family move.

But just because she’s in a different state doesn’t detract a bit from the legacy she left behind during her days as a Wolf.

Scrappy infielder and pitcher. Peppy cheerleader. A saint who baked me cookies and presented them to me at one of her softball games.

Emily was all of those things, plus a talented dancer and owner of a serene, sweet personality.

Now, another town, another school, benefits from having her grace them with her presence, but she was a Wolf first, and a pretty darn great one.

One of us, always.

Mr. Bundy is a high-flying daredevil on the soccer pitch who rocks a suit and tie combo like few high school students ever have.

It still throws me off a bit to see him cruising through high school as a matinee idol, since he’s one of the kids who grew up in the aisles of Videoville.

He was always super cool even as a young boy, and, while the hair and clothes have gotten a bit fancier (the guy is the king of slick soccer shoes), Zane is still as friendly and easy-going as always.

Both of today’s birthday cake recipients are good athletes and better people, and should make their parents truly proud.

Whether I’ve known them most of their life, or just for a brief time, they have both impressed me and, I am sure, will continue to do so.

Wherever they celebrate today, I wish them both the best.

Happy birthday Emily and Zane.
