What’s a week after 20+ years?

Coupeville High School’s cross country program is back, after a two-decade absence, and the first meet is next Wednesday in Granite Falls.

While a handful of Wolf runners have trained and traveled with other schools in recent years, 2018 brings the sport where it belongs, back inside the school.

As they prep for their first race, a photographic look at the harriers who are reigniting the flame.

It’s early, but tennis guru Ken Stange already has his goatee in mid-season form.

Photos, photos and more photos.

Wanderin’ camera clicker John Fisken has hit practices for four of five CHS fall sports teams in the early days, so here’s a few more snappy pics.

The glossy photos cover soccer, tennis, volleyball and football, and they come with this reminder – just nine days until the first official game of the new school year.

Paper work first.

If you’re planning on playing a sport or participating in an activity this fall for Coupeville High School or Middle School, you need to visit the high school office Tuesday, Aug. 14 between noon-6 PM and get registered.

This is the time to pay fees and fill out paperwork, NOT get physicals. But, if you don’t have a current one of those, get scramblin’.

CHS offers volleyball, football, boys tennis, girls soccer, cheer and cross country in the fall. The harrier program is returning to the school after a two-decade absence.

The middle school is also relaunching cross country, in addition to offering volleyball and football.

For more info, contact Eileen Stone at estone@coupeville.k12.wa.us or Lisa Yoder at lyoder@coupeville.k12.wa.us.

Want to be in the inner circle?

Intrigued by the idea of helping Coupeville High School sports reach new heights? Feeling school spirit bursting out of every pore? Have a little bit of spare time?

Well then, I have a deal for you.

With a new school year fast approaching, the Coupeville Booster Club is gearing up for another campaign, and their roster is in flux.

The club needs to add some new board members to round out the group which keeps things chugging along. Whether you have kids at CHS or not, that could be you.

Board members have voting rights, work on projects throughout the year such as the annual crab feed fundraiser, and get to be at the forefront of funding Wolf athletes and coaches.

From supplying athletic letters, to making sure athletes have snacks on road trips, to helping CHS coaches purchase new equipment, to being a driving force behind the Wall of Fame in the gym and the record boards for football and volleyball, the Booster Club is the motor which drives Wolf Nation.

For more info, or to sign up, contact wendihilborn@gmail.com.

Flip the calendar and refocus your mind.

August has arrived, which means, in less than three weeks, practice officially begins for fall high school sports.

No, it’s true. I swear.

Aug. 15 is the first day high school football teams can take the field in Washington state, while Aug. 20 is the kickoff date for volleyball, cross country, cheer, boys tennis and girls soccer.

With a new season, and a new school year, also comes a new league.

After a four-year run in the Olympic League, Coupeville joins Granite Falls, Sultan, Cedar Park Christian (Bothell), King’s and arch-rival South Whidbey in the North Sound Conference.

As they count down the days until the first practice, several Wolves (and one enterprising Falcon) drop by to let you know their thoughts and feelings, their goals and plans.

 

Ja’Tarya Hoskins (CHS junior):

My new goals for the cheer season are to learn and perform a lot of new stunts. Help spread cheer and Coupeville Wolves spirit.

 

Lily Leedy (CHS freshman):

To work better as a team. Learn plays and to show the opponent who’s boss.

 

Kody Newman (SWHS senior):

Very excited for this year’s conference! But most importantly…. THE BUCKET GAME!!!

Not only is it the biggest game of the Island, but it is also our Homecoming game! Ticket sales are sure to be raised for this game!!! Falcons are coming for revenge!

Best of luck this year to the Wolves and hopefully King’s does terrible, lol!

 

Lucy Sandahl (CHS junior):

My goal for the new season is to play every game with a new mind-set and put all the bad plays behind me and focus on the next point.

Another thing that I am looking forward to is getting to see how well our team adapts to all the new plays and players after having lost seven really strong seniors.

This new league has so much hype, but so do we; we’ve won two back-to-back league champs.

What makes them think we can’t do it again? We are strong, faster, and mentally unstoppable.

The only way we are going to get through this is together and it is going to be such a great season!!! I am so excited!

 

Emma Smith (CHS senior):

We want a winning season!!

Playing as a unit instead of six individuals is something we’ve been working on since last year, and is extremely crucial for us to do considering we pretty much have a new starting six.

We also want to go into the season confident in our skills and without the fear of “big, bad King’s.”
