Wrong schools, right photos

It’s a conundrum.

The name of the blog is Coupeville Sports, and that hasn’t changed since it debuted back in August, 2012.

Which would imply not a whole lot of the 9,004 articles previously published on here have focused on athletes wearing the uniforms of Oak Harbor or South Whidbey High School.

But … I am a sucker for free photos, and the page hits those pics generate.

So, here we go.

The pics, shot by John Fisken, come from Thursday’s varsity non-conference tilt between the Wildcat and Falcon girls basketball teams, a game won 46-35 by Oak Harbor.

Having already beaten Coupeville, the ‘Cat girls are the unofficial Whidbey Island champs for the 2021-2022 season.

They join Coupeville’s boys, who swept Oak Harbor and South Whidbey to rule the hardwood.

To see more of what Fisken shot Thursday, pop over to:

Two schools, four teams, one Island, one photographer.

Wanderin’ paparazzi John Fisken stayed busy Saturday, clicking away as Coupeville High School hosted South Whidbey in a pair of girls basketball games.

The Falcons claimed the JV contest, while the Wolves rebounded to come out on top in the varsity tilt, all set to the tune of the click of the camera.

To see everything Fisken snapped, and possibly purchase some glossy mementos for Aunt Ruth and Uncle Roberto down in Boca, pop over to:

Fly, Falcons, fly (really, truly)

The Falcons on Coupeville Sports?????

It’s true, we’re crossing Island lines for a day, highlighting South Whidbey High School basketball, thanks to the camera work of ever-wanderin’ photo whiz kid John Fisken.

His pics showcase the Falcons as they face off with Eastside Prep in a Saturday doubleheader.

I can tell you the SWHS girls won 50-16, raising their record to 1-2 on the season, while the S-Dub boys fell 76-53 to go to 0-2.

Want more than that? Convince the local newspapers which cover that region to get on their game.

Or, convince your parents to let you transfer to Coupeville — just imagine how much coverage you’d get then.

Just sayin’.

Till then, in the spirit of an olive branch in the eternal battle of the Whidbey version of the Hatfields and the McCoys, some photo glossiness as the weekend fades.
