International woman of mystery Julia García Oñoro is a master of multitasking.

Maddy Hilkey leads the assault on the basket.

Lindsey Roberts lives by Ivan Drago’s motto in Rocky IV — “I must break you.”

Sarah Wright is in the zone.

Ashlie Shank’s fan club (at least part of it) is on scene.

With a little help from her friends, Wolf cheerleader Mica Shipley stands tall.

   Genna Wright explains her basketball philosophy. “They call me The Grave Digger, grandpa, cause I bury fools.”

With great power, comes great responsibility.

John Fisken has the snazzy cameras, he has the impeccable photographic eye and he wanders Whidbey snapping like a madman, so it’s a good thing he fully embraces his power.

The latest beneficiaries are the CHS girls basketball players, their parents and fans, and, of course, Coupeville Sports, since he delivers a medley of snappy pics guaranteed to drive my page hits upwards.

The photos you see are from Tuesday’s tilt against Port Townsend, where the Wolves swept varsity and JV games from the RedHawks.

And remember, purchases help fund college scholarships for CHS student/athletes.

Snappy smiles, poppy pics!!

   Well-dressed CHS basketball players by day, elbow-throwing hoops assassins by night.

Heidi Meyers (top) whips Catherine Lhamon’s hair into shape.

Wolf fans lay down on the job.

   When she’s not droppin’ three-balls, Wolf sophomore Scout Smith stays busy snapping pics of her fellow hoops stars.

“Yo, ref! I got your seein’ eye dog right here!!”

   Don’t (totally) believe the smile. Ema Smith plays like a beast on the basketball court. A beast, I say.

   Lindsey Roberts (left) and Sarah Wright amuse themselves on the World Wide Web.

Action, action everywhere.

When he’s not busy shooting on-court developments, paparazzi John Fisken is quick to capture behind-the-scenes moments, then kind enough to share them with us.

The pics above, which came from Tuesday’s CHS girls basketball game, are courtesy Cow Town’s #1 photo bug.

Grapplers from two continents unite!!

“And where do you think you’re going????”

Wrestling officials lay down the rules.

   Oak Harbor’s Michael Fisken (in red), who doesn’t normally wrestle freestyle, gamely tries to hold his own on the mat.

Three Oak Harbor High School wrestlers got a chance Friday to find out what it was like to fight for their life.

Facing off with grapplers from another continent, while using a different wrestling style than normal, the Wildcat trio were part of a USA vs. Japan exhibition match in Everett.

OHHS juniors Caleb Fitzgerald, Blake McBride and Michael Fisken and their coach, Larry Falcon, were part of the American team, which was drawn from Wesco schools.

Once on the mat, the ‘Cats had to wrestle freestyle, which is favored internationally, instead of folkstyle, which is what American high schools and colleges favor.

If you’re wondering what the difference is, hey, that’s why Wikipedia exists.

Fresh off the experience, McBride and Fisken reverted back to their normal style of wrestling Saturday, winning titles at 145 and 220, respectively, at the Panther Classic at Snohomish High School.

Having been informed Coupeville Sports has a decent following in Japan (seriously, it does), proud dad and ever-busy photographer John Fisken sent me a couple of the pics he shot at the international event.

For that, we (my Japanese fans and myself) thank him.

To see everything Fisken shot at the exhibition, pop over to:

And PS, if you think Coupeville should join the rest of the civilized world and have a wrestling team (like virtually every other freakin’ high school in the state), I agree.

Now, someone go do something about it.

The past and future of Wolf boys basketball hang out together.

   Back from college, Photo Goddess McKenzie Bailey allows mom Donna (left) and grandma Cheryl to get in on her fun.

It’s a mess of Messners.

Ethan Spark’s family show up to support their favorite hoops star.

Maddy Hilkey admires Spark’s taste in overcoats.

The Hunter Smith fan club holds an in-season meeting.

Alumni, current players and family, all mushed together.

Recent Coupeville High School basketball games brought out a dizzying array of fans, and photo whiz kid John Fisken used his faster-than-the-speed-of-light camera to document it all.

The proof sits above.

Ulrik Wells (left) and Ethan Spark team up to mug an Orcas player.

CHS girls basketball coach David King prayed to the hoops gods, but they still sent three blind mice to ref his game.

Taped-up fingers can’t slow down Maddy Hilkey when she hits her groove.

Call Hunter Downes “The Rifleman,” cause he … rifles his passes.

Apparently white shoes are the must-have look for the winter season.

Kyla Briscoe reaches up and finds a gift waiting for her.

Kylie Chernikoff, joyfully beatin’ the crud out of rival players all day long.

Basketball is back. For a moment, at least.

Returning from a nine-day Christmas break, the Coupeville High School hoops squads clashed with visiting Orcas Island Friday night, then promptly went off on a six-day New Year’s break.

Before they left the gym, the Wolves were immortalized on film by wanderin’ camera god John Fisken, who provides us with the pics seen above.
