Tiffany Briscoe rips a solid base hit.

McKayla “Twinkle Toes” Bailey flies across home plate with a run.

Katrina McGranahan (11), backed up by Kyla Briscoe and the gently blowing trees, snags a pop-up.

The unflappable Lauren Rose, as cool as the other side of the pillow.

The lil’ hitting machine, Jae LeVine, gets medieval on a ball, while mom Joline prepares to give her the slow clap of approval.

A sunny day in the spring?

Hard to believe, but it was true Tuesday, as a rain-soaked season gave way to balmy skies and a big Coupeville High School softball win.

As the Wolves smacked Concrete’s pitching around in a 9-7 win, travelin’ photo man John Fisken worked the perimeter, clicking away.

The Wolves get a massage train going.

“Hey, where’s my free neck massage?!?! I’ve been moving these shoulders all game!!”

On the court, history was being made.

When the Coupeville High School girls’ basketball team crunched Klahowya Friday, it clinched the first league title for a Wolf hoops team since 2002.

Off the court, the action was hoppin’ as well, as travelin’ photo man John Fisken swung his lens around on the fans, school officials and a few of the players themselves.

Photos. Thousands and thousands of photos.

Fall sports may have wrapped, but I still have tons of unused pics I can transmit out to the waiting public.

This time around, the focus is on Wolf volleyball, from high-flying action to pre-game shenanigans.

Let the spikes fly one more time.

Crimmins and Co. serve up a huge win!!

Wolf libero Jae LeVine (in red) gives her team a pep talk.

Maggie Crimmins is tricky.

The Coupeville High School freshman volleyball player serves underhanded, and why not? She’s deadly that way.

With her serves taking wicked spins and moving in a completely different manner than expected, visiting Friday Harbor was unable to master Crimmins Thursday night.

The Wolf JV spikers won 15 points off of her serves — almost double that of any other CHS server — as they romped to a 25-15, 25-7, 25-18 non-conference win.

The victory evened their record at 1-1.

Crimmins display of serving artistry came over the final two sets, with the Wolves scoring six points on her serve in the second set and nine in the third.

Coupeville was strong at the line all night, winning nine points apiece off of serves by Payton Aparicio, Lauren Grove and Hope Lodell.

The Wolves jumped out to big leads in all three sets, had momentary burps in the first and third, and were lights out in the second.

Along the way, they got masterful plays from almost everyone on the floor.

Katrina McGranahan was a force of nature at the net, while Brittany Powers and Grove were everywhere, getting hands on almost every ball remotely in their vicinity.

Kameryn St Onge, Mackenzi Valko and Sophia Hassapis chipped in with hustle, Allison Wenzel had two beautiful tip plays to win points and Grove, Kayla Rose and Jae LeVine closed out the sets at the service stripe.

LeVine, as is her fashion, then did a quick happy dance after Friday Harbor failed to return her match-ending serve.

Dance on, Jae, dance on.

Jae LeVine: Heart size doesn’t come any bigger.

Today is a big day for a lil’ girl.

Coupeville High School sophomore-to-be Jae LeVine, who celebrates her birthday today, is the mightiest of mighty mites.

Bouncing madly around like a pinball at times, she grabs teammates twice her size and hugs the life out of them.

Chattering, fist-wavin’ and fist-bumpin’, her smile — which takes up nine-tenths of her body — makes everyone around her respond in kind.

Jae is that rarity — a young woman who has faced down great medical turmoil in her life after being born with a major heart issue, yet refuses to be bowed, refuses to do anything less than full tilt.

She may never win a league MVP award, but her best moments are the ones we will remember.

Jae hitting a three-point bucket from way out in the weeds as a middle schooler — her first basket — then dancing down the court, waving her arms in the air, “Rocky”-style, while her bench and the bleachers went bonkers.

Jae flying in and out of the gym at breakneck speed between sets of a volleyball match this season, changing her shirt each time depending on whether she was the libero or not.

Each time she giddily flung her discarded jersey at dad Sean’s head as she sprinted by the stands, giggling all the way.

Jae, the shortest volleyball player, sitting (well, bouncing in her seat) next to Allie Hanigan, the team’s tallest player, on the bench.

The look of pure adoration on Hanigan’s face for her younger teammate, who was poking the senior good-naturedly, was as beautiful a moment between teammates as I have ever witnessed.

What do I wish for Jae’s birthday?

I hope that she knows how much she means to this community, to Wolf Nation. What a joy she is to be around, what value she brings every day.

I hope when things are good for her, she gets back the love and good vibes she sends out.

And I hope, when things are bad, in the darker moments when things may seem too much and pile up on her, she gets it back even more.

Be brave, Jae. Be strong.

I use the word amazing often, maybe too often, but you, Jae LeVine, are truly amazing.

Never bowed. Always fighting. A blessing to both of your families, your blood relatives and the community that will always consider you its irrepressible adopted daughter.
