The Wolf boys varsity squad, ready to rip up the court.

The JV girls are old pros when it comes to photo shoots.

Ariah Bepler (20) is ready for his close-up, while everyone else needs a moment.

Back to state! That’s the mission for the varsity girls.

The future of the boys hoops program.

Seniors (l to r) Tiffany Briscoe, Lauren Grove, Kailey Kellner and Skyler Lawrence.

Their male counterparts are (l to r) Gabe Wynn, Steven Cope, Brian Shank and Taylor Consford.

Three days away.

The high school basketball season officially kicks off Saturday, when the Coupeville High School girls’ squad heads to Sedro-Woolley for a jamboree.

Real games tip-off Tuesday, Nov. 29, with the Wolf boys hosting Blaine, and the girls making the trip to the border to face the same school.

As you count down the hours, take a gander at a fresh batch of pix courtesy wanderin’ paparazzi John Fisken.

While we can’t claim every single Wolf player is shown (a few were AWOL at the moment the camera was clicking), you can see at least 98.4% of them.

Coupeville Middle School’s newest basketball players camp out with 7th grade coach Randy King. (John Fisken photos)

The seasoned 8th graders, with coaches Ryan King (second from left) and Bob Martin (second from right).

The coach vanishes and the goggles come out.

Meanwhile the veterans start to get slightly rowdy.

Caleb Meyer (24) is the center of attention.

And things end on a happy note.

Eight days away.

As practice continues to play out, the Coupeville Middle School boys’ hoops squads are getting closer to their first action against someone not wearing the same uniform.

Opening afternoon is Thursday, Dec. 1, when Sequim comes to Whidbey (3:15 tip-off).

In preparation for the 10-game season, the young Wolves got their first taste of the photographic life recently when John Fisken wandered by the gym.

The photos above are courtesy him.

As the season progresses, we’ll have a lot more pics, and you’ll be able to buy glossies for Grandma over at Fisken’s site — http://www.johnsphotos.net/.

“Give me the ball and no one gets hurt!!” (John Fisken photos)

Izzy Wells prepares to scorch the bottom of the net.

Kiara Contreras flies into the paint, looking for two.

It only takes one Wolf to beat four rivals.

“See the basket, be the basket.”

Kylie Van Velkinburgh triggers the play while dad Dustin directs traffic.

“Little help … little help … LOTTA HELP!!”

Maddie Georges slices ‘n dices fools on her way to a 14-point game.

Girls basketball is booming in Cow Town.

At every level, high school to elementary school, Coupeville hoops stars are laying down beat-downs.

Over the weekend, both of the Wolf girls SWISH teams handily won games, with the 6th graders pounding Mt. Vernon and the 7th/8th graders decimating a pair of Canadian squads.

Wanderin’ camera man John Fisken swung by the off-Island games and nabbed us the snappy pics seen above.

Kailey Kellner limbers up running mate Lauren Rose.

Brian Shank has eyes only for the basket.

Gabe Wynn, lost in the moment.

Maya Toomey-Stout is here to drain buckets and chew gum … and she’s all out of gum.

After a successful season at QB, Hunter Downes is still looking to pass.

Basketball is officially back.

The sounds of shoes squeaking and leather smacking against the hard-wood echoes across the prairie, interrupted every so often by the soft click-click of wandering cameraman John Fisken.

The photos above, which are courtesy him, come from the first days of practice, as the CHS hoops squads get back at it.

Coupeville’s girls team, coached by David and Amy King, is a two-time defending 1A Olympic League champ coming off its first trip to the state tourney in a decade.

The boys, under the guidance of Anthony Smith and Dustin Van Velkinburgh, won nine games in 2015-2016, their best showing since 2011.

The days to come will tell the tale of how Coupeville will replace departed legends such as Makana Stone and Wiley Hesselgrave, and who will pick up the mantle.

For now, bask in the first photos and the promise of a new season.

Do you believe in miracles?!!

Matt Hilborn has the ball in his sights, but a BC defender arrives at the same time. (John Fisken photos)

The ball is jarred skyward.

Fly…

Fly…

Fly away.

But wait…

The man…

The myth…

The legend…

Cameron Toomey-Stout is here to save the day.

“And I’m outta here.” A broken play, a huge bounce, an alert player and a 67-yard reception.

It was the play of the year.

Seen here for the first time in all its flip-book glory, thanks to John Fisken, is a wild series of events that somehow, against all odds, worked 100% in favor of the Coupeville High School football squad.

Playing on the road against Bellevue Christian in an extremely tight game, with a 100-year storm supposedly on its way (spoiler: it wasn’t), the Wolves needed a miracle.

And they got it.

With quarterback Hunter Downes sent to the bench for a play by an over-zealous ref, Hunter Smith took the snap and fired a pass to Matt Hilborn.

The BC defender and the ball arrived at the same time, causing the football to kick upwards, seemingly a lost opportunity for the Wolves.

Except … Cameron Toomey-Stout, tracking the play the whole way, appeared out of nowhere to snatch the ball in mid-air, then turned it into a 67-yard dash to daylight that dropped jaws throughout the stadium.

In a season that saw records broken and The Bucket come back to Cow Town after Coupeville mashed arch-rival South Whidbey, the Smith-to-Hilborn-to-Toomey–Stout miracle stands tall.
