Jump back to a different era.

It’s a blast from the past, featuring a who’s who of ’80s Coupeville track stars.

The photo above, which comes to us courtesy Jennifer Marzocca, features the Cow Town oval sensations from the Greed is Good decade.

I can ID Aimee (Messner) Bishop, Mitch Aparicio, Chad Gale, and coach Guy Whittaker, among others.

How many do you recognize?

Santa Claus was a coach.

Every basketball journey begins with that first step, and first shot.

Today’s photos take us back a couple years, or a full decade, to capture some of today’s biggest Coupeville stars at the start of their hoops careers.

From Wolf stalwarts like Lyla Stuurmans and Cole White, plus that one kid who possibly vanished into the witness relocation program and was never seen again, this is where it all began.

Stars, back before they were stars

Today’s Wolf hoop stars, back in earlier days. (Contributed photo)

The female athletes in the Coupeville High School Class of 2025 are already stars.

As a group, and as individuals, they have been achieving success since the first day they picked up a basketball, or a softball, or popped into a gym.

After a strong start with fall sports, the Wolves of 2025 are getting ready for their freshman season of CHS hoops.

So, a perfect time to jump into the Wayback Machine and trip the light fantastic back to when these athletes were in first grade. Or, somewhere close to that.

Back row, left to right, it’s Chloe Marzocca, Candace Meek, Jada Heaton, Katie Marti, Savina Wells, and Lyla Stuurmans.

Front row brings us Taylor Brotemarkle, Edie Bittner, Mia Farris, Leela Burdge, and Shayla Towne.

Stars, one and all.

Hoppin’ through hoops history!!

Posted in Boys Basketball, tagged , , , , , on January 16, 2018| Leave a Comment »

   Sean Dillon (22) goes airborne, but the basketball refuses to make the trip with him.

   Randy Keefe knows when you’re the #3 scorer in school history, somebody, somewhere, is always going to be taking your photo.

   The rough-and-tumble hoops legends of the early ’50s look ready to start a back alley brawl.

Wolf coach Bob Barker rocks legendary pants.

   Praying to the hardwood Gods. Oh wait, they could be just looking for Marc Bissett’s lost contacts lens…

Foster Faris cuts down the nets.

Trophy in hand, Keefe waits for his post-game radio interview.

Old-school or new-school. Short shorts or long shorts. Layups or three-balls. All-League or bench warmers.

Doesn’t matter what decade you played, what style you used or how much floor time you got.

If you wore the Wolf uniform, or coached, or kept stats, or managed, or cheered at any point during the 101 years Coupeville High School boys basketball has been active, this Friday is for you.

CHS is throwing an anniversary shindig centered around its home game with Chimacum (JV 3:30, varsity 5:15), and everyone is invited back.

The school, with a lot of help from tech whiz kid Katey Wilson, is producing a snazzy collectible game program, which will feature info on the first CHS hoops game in 1917, the immortal ’69-’70 team and the Top 15 career scorers.

There will be festivities at halftime, then every former Wolf in attendance can be part of an epic “team” photo after the game.

Finally, current Wolf basketball moms are providing refreshments (cake!!) for a post-game reception in the health room, which is right outside the entrance to the gym, inside the same building.

As we head towards anniversary day, we’ve been dropping vintage photos left and right here on Coupeville Sports, and today’s come to us courtesy Renae (Keefe) Mulholland and Kimberly (Stuurmans) Bepler.
