The court is once again alive with the sound of spikes and digs.

Volleyball returned Tuesday night, and with its arrival came wanderin’ photo man John Fisken, who blew in the door to see what was up.

The pics above capture a mix of CHS players in (and out) of action, as well as faithful fans on hand to witness the Wolves sweep varsity and JV matches from visiting Mount Vernon Christian.

To peruse all of Fisken’s pics (purchases fund college scholarships for CHS student/athletes) pop over to:

crowd

“Drive home safely, South Whidbey!!”

It was fandemonium.

Saturday’s home football opener brought out a huge chunk of Coupeville, from current students to alumni, Booster Club bigwigs to the working media.

Wanderin’ paparazzi John Fisken fired off a few hundred photos to capture the off-field scene, which I’ve culled down to a reasonable eight or so for the moment.

Jump in, and come out as happy as the Wolf faithful were after a 41-10 demolishing of Island arch-rival South Whidbey.

Ethan Kedrowski

  Is Ethan Kedrowski getting ready to run a route or trying to scope out what they’re eating on the sideline?

The official Ulrik Wells Fan Club.

   Wolf freshman Ulrik Wells made his high school football debut, and he had a boisterous fan club ready to cheer him on.

No one travels like Wolf fans.

And yes, going all the way out to Camp Casey isn’t exactly the same as trekking to, say, Eastern Washington. I get that.

But there was still a pretty good turnout Friday night for little more than a scrimmage, as Coupeville and visiting Lakeside stretched out their football muscles.

Wanderin’ paparazzi John Fisken was in the area and snapped some pics of the Wolf National faithful to go along with his photos of gridiron warriors.

Rich Briscoe

   Rich Briscoe debates whether slapping the umpire on the back of the head would help him make better calls.

Sylvia Arnold

   The day was overcast, yet Sylvia Arnold was still shooting off rays of sunshine from every pore. Uncanny.

Sean LeVine

   Sean LeVine — soccer guru, EMT, dad, possible runway model (he’s already got Blue Steel down cold…).

Moments after this picture was taken, the photographer vanished. Coincidence?

Gretchen Smith

   Gretchen Smith basks in the glow of watching granddaughter Sarah Wright, Coupeville’s catcher/cleanup hitter, be super-awesome on the diamond.

Fans, fans as far as the eye (or camera) can see.

Coupeville sports boosters are as dedicated as any you will meet, and jam the stands for almost every Wolf sports event.

Softball is no exception, and, as CHS played Meridian Saturday, wanderin’ photo man John Fisken let his camera slide through the crowds to snap some portraits for us.

Lauren Bayne

  Wolf track star Lauren Bayne spends a few minutes of down time taking in a ballgame.

Hunter Downes

CHS quarterback Hunter Downes ponders the meaning of life.

Genna Wright

Genna Wright’s own athletic future is so bright, she has to wear shades.

It wouldn’t be the same without the fans.

Sure, you could play the games, keep the scores, hand out the trophies, but, without people hollering, things would feel off.

As he clicked away at recent CHS baseball and softball games, wanderin’ cameraman John Fisken let his lens slide into the stands and snapped these glossy pics for us.

Proof that fans can hold the spotlight just as strongly as the players they’ve come out to watch.
