The Wolves were ready for their closeup.
A day after leading the way during Coupeville’s rout of La Conner, the CHS cheerleaders trekked to Seattle to be part of Spirit Day at the University of Washington.
The Wolves were part of a massive 450-cheerleader halftime performance, and were on the sidelines when the nationally ranked Huskies scored a touchdown against Cal.
That earned Coupeville’s squad an appearance on ESPN.

Friday night, the current Wolf cheerleaders worked with young kids from their hometown. Saturday, they got to recreate the experience, while shifting roles.
“It’s basically junior cheer for high school,” CHS coach Jennifer Morrell said with a laugh.
Along with the halftime show, the event also included a pep rally by the U-Dub spirit team and the band before kickoff.
Coupeville cheer was repped by Gabe Reed, Jayden Cooks, Layla Heo, Hayley Thomas, Emma Garcia, Bella Karr, Isabella Schooley, Kassidy Upchurch, Pamela Morrell, Miles Gerber, Rafa Silva De Campos Conceicao, and Jacob Schooley.
