“Celebration! Good times!! Oh, and splits. We can do splits, too!!”

“They are all on cloud nine!”

That was the word from proud mama Mariah Knoblich after Coupeville claimed 4th place at the Girls SWISH Basketball League 5th/6th grade “Silver-Skagit” Division Tournament Saturday.

The squad, coached by Lark Gustafson, opened the tourney in Mount Vernon with a narrow 15-14 loss in sudden death to the Skagit Dunkers.

Bouncing right back, Cow Town then blasted La Conner Silver 18-8.

The (young) Wolves are on the prowl.

Give the readers what they want.

And what they’re asking for right now is more photos of the future of Wolf girls’ basketball.

After we ran a series of pics Sunday from a SWISH game involving the young guns of Whidbey, the response was loud and clear.

More, more, more!

So, it’s a good thing I actually had more photos than I ran the first time around. And now, thanks to coach Lark Gustafson, I have a roster so I can ID the players.

They’re back, by popular demand.

Coupeville Sports is everywhere.

Thanks to travelin’ photo man John Fisken, who decided to stroll over to Sedro-Woolley on a Saturday, we can offer you a selection of scintillating basketball pics this morning.

The team in question is a SWISH squad starring Coupeville girls who will likely one day rule the court for the Wolves.

Catch them now, and get them to autograph their photos for you, before they hit the big time.

To see a ton more pics from the game, pop over to:

And don’t forget — when you purchase photos from Fisken, part of the proceeds go to fund scholarships for CHS student/athletes.

Fuel the fire.

   Start practicing now, and one day you might suit up for the Wolves, following in the footsteps of Allison Wenzel.

The first one went so well they’re having a second one.

Coupeville High School volleyball players and coaches will host a free clinic for elementary school students in grades K-6 this Saturday, Oct. 18.

The clinic will run from 10-11:30 AM in the CHS gym.

No registration is required, just a desire to learn volleyball skills in a fun environment.

Also, if you bring your autograph book, you might snag some one-on-one time with Wolf stars such as Hailey Hammer, McKenzie Bailey and Kyla Briscoe. So, there’s that too.

Not even a cheap shot can derail the Kelley Express.

Bouncing back after a shot to the ribs knocked him out of the game for much of the first half Saturday, Coupeville Middle School gridiron giant Matthew Kelley returned just in time to decide his team’s game.

Flying back on to the field at Friday Harbor, Kelley, a sixth grader at CMS, racked up eight tackles and two sacks, stripping the ball from the quarterback on the second take-down.

That allowed his Oak Harbor Junior Gold squad to recover the ball and turn the tide in what became a 19-12 win.

The victory kept Oak Harbor perfect at 7-0. Having already secured the #1 seed for the playoffs, the Wildcats will close the regular season with an all-Island match-up with South Whidbey (1-6) Oct. 18.

Friday Harbor was clinging to a 12-6 lead and had the ball on its own 35-yard line when Kelley broke through the line, leveled the QB and popped the ball out.

The Wildcats took immediate advantage, recovering the ball and driving for the go-ahead touchdown. They added a final score to pad the lead with four seconds left in the game.

Kelley wasn’t the only Coupeville kid to shine last weekend.

Logan Downes, who moonlights for the Oak Harbor Pee Wees, shined in a 40-6 win over Friday Harbor.

Downes, who attends third grade at Coupeville Elementary School, took a punt back 55 yards and later ripped off a 95-yard scoring run in the third quarter that put the game on ice.

His ‘Cat squad is 6-1.
