Whatcom is using a Light to lead the way.

Ember Light, that is.

The Coupeville High School grad has been tabbed as a captain for the revived Whatcom College cheer squad as it heads into the fall.

The Orcas currently have a seven-woman squad, with another round of tryouts set for the first week of September.

Light is one of two former Wolves on the Whatcom cheer squad, with Pamela Morrell also on the WCC team.

During her days in Cow Town, Light was a top student and athlete, also competing in tennis to go with her spirit team duties.

She’s pursuing an allied health degree at Whatcom, with plans to move onto radiology school.

A new season of college sports approaches, and Instagram is the place to poach pics.

Recently we’ve been able to nab photos of former Coupeville volleyball stars Mia Farris and Lyla Stuurmans preparing for their sophomore seasons at Whatcom and Skagit Valley College, respectively.

Today, it’s Wolf cheer alumni Pamela Morrell and Ember Light, who are helping launch a new spirit program on the same campus where Farris currently rips off spikes.

With a healthy dose of Cow Town legends in the spotlight, Whatcom is leading the way.

Work hard in practice and you get rewarded with Dairy Queen delights. I approve.

They’ll be trailblazers.

Coupeville grads Pamela Morrell and Ember Light, who anchored the CHS spirit team during their high school days, are helping launch a new cheer program at Whatcom College.

The former Wolves were picked for the school’s first-ever squad, which debuts this fall.

Morrell, who is studying nursing, and Light, who is pursuing an allied health degree with plans to move onto radiology school, were busy bees during their time in Cow Town.

The former was involved in the CHS Theater Troupe and is an accomplished artist, while the latter was a talented tennis player and yearbook photographer.

Morrell and Light graduated with the CHS Class of 2025 and were both in the top 10 that year for career GPA’s.

The duo also nabbed Student of the Quarter honors from the Coupeville Lions Club during their senior year.

They’re not the only former Wolves from their class to be an athlete at Whatcom, either, as fellow Class of ’25 grad Mia Farris played volleyball for the Orcas this past fall.

We’re sweeping out the archives.

The pics seen above and below have two things in common.

One, they feature Coupeville athletes or athletic supporters.

And two, they’re some of the last photos sent my way by John Fisken before he took his Diet Coke and went home, ambling off to semi-retirement.

So, with no games today as we wait for district playoff action to kick into full gear starting Thursday, now is a perfect time to slap ’em on the page and let ’em marinate.
