No one works the lines like a pink flag-wavin’ Papa Kiel.

It was about more than digs and spikes.

When Coupeville High School closed its volleyball season Thursday at home against Port Townsend, cancer awareness was also high on the bill.

The two teams participated in a “Dig for the Cure” event that benefited the Susan G. Komen Foundation. All of the CHS players — several of whom have parents who have battled cancer in recent years — wore special tie-died shirts.

Travelin’ photo man John Fisken was on hand to document much of the behind-the-scenes stuff from the night, and one fact emerges.

No one, and I repeat, no one, on the CHS volleyball squads is afraid of the camera.

All dressed up and their dates didn’t show.

High winds forced cancellations by the ferry system Tuesday, leaving Port Townsend’s girls’ soccer and volleyball squads stranded on their side of the water.

That meant their scheduled Olympic League games in Coupeville had to be postponed, leaving the Wolf spikers standing around sporting new shirts for a cancer awareness night and no one to play while wearing them.

CHS players were planning to wear pink for breast cancer, blue for prostrate and red for Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Early word is the volleyball match will be rescheduled for Thursday, Oct. 30 and the Dig for the Cure event will go on as planned.

No announcement yet on when the soccer game will be played.

Volleyball is ready to do some work tonight.

When Coupeville hosts Port Townsend (JV at 5, varsity at 6:15), it’ll be two things in one.

On the one hand, it’s a showdown for positioning in the Olympic League standings at the halfway point of the six-game league schedule.

Coupeville (1-1 in league play, 1-7 overall) is in a tie with Chimacum (1-1, 3-6) for second place, a game off of Klahowya (2-0, 10-0).

The Redhawks (0-2, 5-4) have stumbled out of the gate after a strong non-conference stretch of the schedule, but could shake things back up with a win on the road.

To go along with the match, the two schools will also participate in a Dig for the Cure cancer awareness night.

The Wolf players will wear different colors to reflect the battles against different cancers and fans are encouraged to join in with their choice of clothing.

Pink is for breast cancer, blue for prostrate and red for Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
