Two days until the biggest night of the summer.

People from near and far are expected to pack the Coupeville Rec Hall this Friday, Aug. 19 for an auction fundraiser to help an ailing Wolf hoops star.

Bennett Boyles, 11, finished three weeks of treatment for inoperable tumors on his brain stem and just returned home from Seattle, but he and his family still face a tough road ahead.

Bennett’s teachers at the Ebey Academy have been spearheading fundraisers all summer to help his mom, CHS grad Lucienne Rivera, a single mom of two who had to quit her job to take care of her son.

Friday night the Rec Hall will be jumping to the music of Jacobs Road, with more than 100 items up for auction.

Tickets are $10 and can be bought at the door (the rec hall is at 901 NW Alexander St., across the street from Christopher’s on Whidbey.)

The event, which runs from 6-10 PM, is open to all ages.

Beverages and hors d’oeuvres will be available, with wine and beer offered by donation thanks to Penn Cove Tap Room.

Some of the many items which will be up for auction:

Toby’s Tavern gift basket
Knead & Feed baking class
Framed, signed Steve Largent jersey
A party with Santa
A Seahawks tailgate party
Wine and cheese basket
A wheelbarrow full of beer
Photography sessions
A month of child care at Ebey Academy
Handyman hours
Oak Harbor Cinemas tickets
A fire pit with all the fixings

Don’t you (forget about Zane)!!

Bundy celebrates Senior Night with family.

Gone, but not forgotten.

After blazing a mighty trail across Wolf Nation as a soccer and football player, Zane Bundy is now off pursuing his college sports dream.

Bundy is a freshman at Santa Barbara City College, where he’s trying to make the Vaqueros squad as a kicker.

A four-year starter for the Coupeville High School boys’ soccer squad, Bundy mixed up things as a senior and joined the Wolf football squad.

He ended up leading CHS in scoring and finished among the top kickers in Washington state, earning interest from SBCC, a school with a strong football tradition (and 11 conference championships to its credit).

As the Vaqueros prepare for their season (they open against Ventura Sept. 3), players are raising money to help with expenses.

Donations will go towards helping with “a new rack of dumbbells, resistance-bands, our end of year banquet and awards ceremony, pregame meals, travel expenses, game-day attire and assistant coaching stipends.”

Cheer with your wallet!!

They’re going to hold their breath until your donation helps us honor CHS cheer’s 4th place finish at state in 2011. (Sylvia Arnold photo)

OK, cheer fanatics, I’m looking at you to put us over the top.

We are in the home stretch to restore 116 years of Coupeville High School sports title history to the gym walls, but need a little push to get over that finish line.

When I started this project, which will replace the 15 or so banners currently hanging at CHS with a display which will honor 112 titles won by Wolf sports teams and individuals, it was a daunting task.

But we’ve gotten there, step by step.

The Whidbey News-Times granted me rare access to their archives to do the research, the Booster Club stepped up with a financial donation to kick off things and school officials have been extremely helpful along the way.

Having raised my portion of the cost thanks to very generous donations, we’ve been working with the Whidbey Sign Company and the plan is to begin installation next week.

But, like most projects of this breadth, there are always a few twists and turns and late plot developments.

With this one, it was a late-in-the-game request from the CHS cheer fans to see their state meet accomplishments, including a state title in 2006, be acknowledged.

There will always be an argument over whether cheer is a sport or an activity, but these titles were won when the Wolves were a competition cheer squad, and I agree they should be hailed along side cross country, softball and all the other sports.

But…

This late addition threw off our budget, and we are sitting $440 shy of what we need as I type this.

So, I’m asking the cheer fans to do what baseball fans or track aficionados have done, step up and join us.

Skip your Starbucks for one day. Pull together the loose change from the couch. Chip in to preserve the history you, or your sister, or your daughter, accomplished.

Together, as one nation, Wolf Nation, we can make the impossible happen.

Bucket$ for Bennett!!

The rock outside CHS shows support for the town’s ailing hoops star.

They’re shooting for their teammate.

Adding a personal spin to the community’s ongoing efforts to help Bennett Boyles and his family, Coupeville Middle School basketball players will be scoring for two reasons this weekend.

The Wolves are sending two squads to Encumclaw for a tourney, and while there, every basket they score will go to help Boyles, their missing teammate.

The 11-year-old is in Seattle, undergoing weeks of treatment for an inoperable tumor on his brain stem.

His mom, CHS grad Lucienne Rivera, quit her job to be with him, and people near and far are stepping up to help the family pay their considerable expenses.

Ebey Academy, where teachers had the joy of welcoming Bennett on a regular basis, has been at the forefront of fundraising operations.

You can help them at: https://gobennett.givingfuel.com/go-bennett

The Wolves hoops squads, coached by Nate Barton and Pat Kelley, will be eight-men strong this weekend.

Matthew Kelley, Alex Jimenez, Jake Mitten, Connor Barton, Danny Barajas, Caleb Meyer, Logan Martin and Miles Davidson will play in a 3 v 3 tourney.

Each player is asking fans to pledge money for baskets scored, with all proceeds going to their missing brother.

The team’s goal is to raise $500 this weekend for Boyles.

“We will take Enumclaw by storm,” Pat Kelley said. “We will play fair but HARD.

“The teams we leave in our wake will fear us and know that our effort and dedication is based on the LOVE we have for Bennett and his family!”

Total baskets from the tourney will be published here on Coupeville Sports after play is done Sunday.

Pledges can either be given to players or dropped off at Ebey Academy (140 SE Terry Road in Coupeville, across from the high school).
