Kylee Johnson

Coupeville Elementary School 4th grader Kylee Johnson continues to soar in the gymnastics world.

Her most recent accomplishment came this past weekend at the state championships in Everett, where she competed at level 5 in trampoline and tumbling.

Johnson earned first place in both floor and trampoline, while also notching a second place showing in the double mini.

That propels her to nationals, which will be held in Texas in July.

Before that Johnson is off to Salt Lake City for regionals.

“She has been working hard on her skills,” said mom Shannon Johnson.

“We are very proud of her accomplishments and looking forward to what she will do in the future.”

The kid has mad skills.

Avery Parker, the prairie Rembrandt whose artwork kept Coupeville Sports afloat in the darkest hours of the pandemic, is back at it.

Already a stage veteran with multiple ballet shows to her credit, she’s now essaying the lead role in Coupeville Elementary’s production of Matilda.

The play, presented by the CES Drama Club, runs this Friday and Saturday, Mar. 8-9, with the curtain rising at 6:30 P.M.

Things go down in the high school’s Performing Arts Center, and admission is free.

Though you are more than welcome to make a donation or purchase a munchable or two from the bake sale.

Proceeds benefit Parker and her fellow thespians.

On a side note, if you’re smart, get an autograph now, then slap that baby under glass and wait for its value to skyrocket as Wolf Nation’s #1 diva takes over the world.

You can thank me later.

Spring is for spikes!

All your info.

Get ready for spike season.

Wolf Pup volleyball launches in early April, giving Coupeville girls in grades 3-5 a chance to learn drills, play games, and rub elbows with high school stars and coaches.

“We are very excited to continue our tradition of introducing eager players to the fundamentals of the sport as well as an early love of the game!” said CHS coach Cory Whitmore.

The Wolf spiker guru is quick to note these are “low-stress, introductory practices” and coaches will provide extra help to make sure things go smoothly.

Since spring is a busy time, they are willing to work to accommodate schedules.

That can include working with those players who need to leave early, arrive late, or miss some of the days.

Also, coaches offer an adult-led walking group which will escort players from the elementary school to the high school gym each Tuesday and Thursday.

“We’re happy to get players safely where they need to go,” Whitmore said.

God’s Chosen Sport is thriving in Cow Town.

The Coupeville Youth Basketball Association kicked off a new season this week, with more than 160 future stars vying for dominance in the paint.

The organization benefits greatly from its vast array of volunteer coaches, plus having high school hoops aces serve as refs and scorekeepers.

Plus, toss in the 21 sponsors who stepped up financially, and things are soaring.

The focus, as always, is on the children out on the floor, as they develop their skill set and prepare for success, now and in the future.

“They came out and made us all proud with their effort, passion, and awesome attitudes today!” said CYBA’s Facebook page.

“Looking forward to a great season!”

The younger brother has mad skills as well.

While Coupeville soccer ace Chayse Van Velkinburgh is busy training in Spain, the youngest sharpshooter in the family continues to tear up the pitch.

Maysen Van Velkinburgh, currently a 2nd grader at Coupeville Elementary School, wrapped up a torrid run Sunday at the Cranberry Cup in Woodinville.

Playing in the championship game, he knocked in his kick as his Oak Harbor-based BU9 squad claimed the title with a 2-1 win after a penalty kick shootout.

The younger Van Velkinburgh tallied five of his team’s 12 goals at the tourney and has 13 scores over the past eight games.

And while he’s raining down scores, he’s not the only Coupeville kid playing a major role for the team.

Conner Armstrong, son of CHS grad Linnane O’Connor, stands tall in the goal for the team.
