Jake Mitten, another Wolf turned ‘Cat, celebrates with his parents, grandma Carmen McFadyen, and lil’ sis Ava. Grandpa Jack would be proud.

We’re off to Oak Town.

Yes, yes, this blog is called Coupeville Sports, but Thursday was Senior Night for the Oak Harbor High School football squad, which includes two guys who grew up playing sports here in Cow Town.

So, as a tribute to Matthew Kelley and Jake Mitten, who gave me plenty to write about during their junior high days, we present an assortment of photos courtesy John Fisken.

The other six photos are a mix of Wildcat gridiron players and cheerleaders, chosen pretty much at random by me, the guy who can only ID the former Wolves.

But, pop over to the link below and you can find glossy pics for every senior who participated.

Plus, Fisken has left this gallery open, which means you can download photos for free.

So, win-win.

They went out with a bang.

Coupeville 8th graders Kylie Chernikoff and Jake Mitten capped their middle school track careers Wednesday by winning league titles.

Chernikoff hurled the discus 78 feet to best a field of 14, while Mitten sailed over the high jump bar at five feet, two-and-a-half inches to top 21 rivals.

Their victories were the cherry on top for the Wolves, who survived a trip to the wilds of Forks for the Olympic League Championships.

The season-ending event drew seven middle schools, with the two largest ones taking team titles.

Sequim and Stevens, which support 2A high schools, took the boys and girls competitions, respectively.

Along with the wins, Coupeville also got a second-place finish in the 60 from 7th grader Ja’Kenya Hoskins and third-places finishes from its boys 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relay teams.

PRs? We got one for everyone!!

Success is in their DNA.

An astonishing 17 of the 20 Coupeville Middle School track and field athletes who competed Tuesday set at least one PR.

Part of the success might have stemmed from the Wolves being able to run and throw at a facility they are well acquainted with, cause it’s their own.

The lone home meet of the CMS season, it featured Coupeville facing off with Chimacum and Blue Heron (Port Townsend) and was held under rare sunny skies.

While all of the Wolves had strong days, Bella Velasco and Ja’Kenya Hoskins led the way, both nabbing PRs in all four of their events.

Coupeville has one regular season meet left on the schedule — a trip to Sequim May 16 — then wraps the year with the league championships at Forks May 24.

It was a day for PRs, and cookies.
