Grove lays out to make a save on the pitch.

Whether you live near or far, you can help Lauren Grove.

The 2017 Coupeville High School grad, who captured four state track and field meet medals, and was a solid basketball, soccer, and volleyball player for the Wolves, is currently at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

She suffered third degree burns in a home grease fire this past weekend, and is set for a second round of surgeries Friday.

In positive news, Lauren has been moved out of ICU and friends of the family have begun to set up a support network for her and her family.

If you’d like to help with medical expenses, donations can be made on the Venmo app:

An account is also being set up at Peoples Bank.

Amy Briscoe, whose daughter Tiffany graduated with Lauren, is selling home-baked pies this weekend to raise money as well.

She will have peach, apple, blueberry, and strawberry, and the suggested donation is $15.

Pies can be picked up at 825 Wanamaker Road, and paid for with cash, check, or Facebook Pay.

Social distancing protocol will be in place for all pie pick-ups.

For info or questions, contact Briscoe at albriscoe1074@gmail.com.

Coupeville’s lil’ miracle guy, Baby Owen, has grown from 1.5 to 4.5 pounds since birth. (Photo courtesy Leslie Improta)

One of Coupeville’s littlest heroes continues to fight, and we can help his progress.

Former CMS counselor Leslie Improta has been leading the charge to help out the Camatti family, whose son Owen was just 1.5 pounds at birth.

The lil’ guy is at the University of Washington’s Medical Hospital, and has packed on three more pounds thanks to great care.

Owen’s mother Carrie, who is staying with her son, has MS, and she and Owen’s father Charles can use all the support they can get during this time.

If you can help, checks made out to Charles Camatti can be mailed to Leslie Improta at 683 Power Road, Coupeville, WA 98239.

There is also a GoFundMe set up:

“I survived!”

Dawson Houston gives Fiedler a sweet treat.

Mica Shipley was the first to be pied.

Still standing, but a lot messier.

Shipley awaits her fate, being delivered by Natalie Hollrigel.

We have touchdown.

Tons of pie, but none to eat.

The Coupeville High School cheerleaders used the tasty treats for other purposes Saturday night, as they held a pie-in-the-face fundraiser.

The money goes to help the Wolves travel to nationals in Orlando.

After pulling in donations all day, the top three fundraisers — Ja’Tarya Hoskins, Mica Shipley, and Emily Fiedler — were smacked by their very-eager teammates and friends.

Your dollar bills, plus their sterling work ethic, can equal cheer nirvana.

Having found out late in the game that they qualified for nationals, the Coupeville High School cheer squad is in scramble mode right now.

The Wolves, in just their second year back on the competition cheer mats, are hitting big heights under second-year coach BreAnna Boon.

CHS, which fielded only a sideline cheer squad between 2012-2017, claimed 3rd place at the 1A state meet in 2018, giving the program its fourth top-four finish at the big dance.

Wolf cheer won a state title in 2006, then finished 2nd in 2007, and 4th in 2011, all under legendary coach Sylvia Arnold.

Now, Coupeville has an invite to Florida, having qualified for the National High School Cheerleading Championship.

That event runs Feb. 7-9, 2020 at the Walt Disney World Resort’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, and is televised on ESPN2 and ESPNU.

The Wolves could be seen in 32 countries and 100 million homes.

But, they need some help getting from Cow Town to Trophy Town.

Or, more specifically, they need to raise $8,000 to cover expenses for the trip, and are looking for sponsorship help from Wolf fans.

Individuals or businesses, cheer addicts or people who have no clue what a back spot, bow and arrow, or straight cradle might be – doesn’t matter.

If you’re loyal to the red and black, and want to see 12 extremely hard-working Wolf athletes and their coaches rewarded for their efforts, now is the time.

You’d be helping Ashleigh Battaglia, Ella Bueler, Karyme Castro, Coral Caveness, Emily Fiedler, Ja’Tarya Hoskins, Dawson Houston, Marenna Rebischke-Smith, Mica Shipley, Gavin St Onge, Bella Velasco, and Melia Welling, as well as CHS coaches Boon and Sarah Reinstra.

To donate, you can swing by Peoples Bank (107 S. Main) or contact Boon at Chscheer@outlook.com.

CHS cheer has a 501(c)(3) number, so any and all donations can be used as a tax write-off, with receipt provided.

Whether you’re Bill Gates or merely someone willing to shake out the couch cushions, everything helps.

“No donation is too big or too small,” Boon said, with her customary … cheery … outlook.
