“Our photo game? Our photo game is strong!” (Eck photo)

The Wolves are on the prowl in the big city.

With the high school football season just wrapped, Coupeville’s cheer squad pulled itself out of bed at the crack of dawn Saturday to head to Seattle.

Their destination? The University of Washington, where they are joining a massive halftime performance during tonight’s Husky game against Utah.

UW Spirit Day attracts more than 500 high school and junior high school cheerleaders.

As they prepared for their national debut (the game kicks off at 4:30 PM on Q13 Fox), the Wolves maintained a strong photo game, which they share with us in the pics above.

Kiara Burdge, and her megaphone, get the crowd worked up.

Amanda

   Two Neitzels on the same cheer team? Five times the awesomeness, as lil’ sis Amanda joins big sis Maddy.

Three weeks in and not an ounce of their spirit has faded.

The Coupeville High School cheer squad remains the loudest and the proudest in all the land, and, at some point, Wolf fans will actually get to see them work the sidelines at home during a varsity football game.

CHS travels to Port Townsend this Friday for its fourth consecutive road game to open the season, but, after that, the Wolves are home four Fridays in October.

Want to see how veteran cheerleaders like Jovanah Foote and Lainey Dickson or young guns like Katherine Morales do once we reach fog season?

Get your buns to Mickey Clark Field Oct. 2 (Klahowya), Oct. 9 (Port Townsend), Oct. 16 (Chimacum — Homecoming) and Oct. 30 (Concrete), and prepare to be impressed.

Halpin keeps family cheer tradition alive!!

Cedillo

Halpin bonds with Wolf vet Robin Cedillo.

She’s young, but already a veteran.

While Coupeville High School freshman Gaby Halpin will be in her first year as a member of the Wolf cheer squad, she’s been doing this for quite some time.

“I started in grade school, like a little league cheer-leading thing,” she said.

A multi-sport threat (Halpin played volleyball in middle school and is interested in running track in the spring), she was introduced to the cheer life by her family.

“Everyone on my mom’s side of the family did cheer, so I was interested in it,” Halpin said.

A dancer since age three who loves history and hanging out (“I’m always listening to music, usually chillin’ with friends”), she enjoys cheer for the way it combines athleticism with spirit.

“Cause it’s dancing and yelling and supporting our school, which is really fun,” Halpin said. “It’s definitely a sport. It’s way more difficult then it looks.

“It takes long hours of practice and a lot of strength to throw someone up in the air!”
