The court is once again alive with the sound of spikes and digs.

Volleyball returned Tuesday night, and with its arrival came wanderin’ photo man John Fisken, who blew in the door to see what was up.

The pics above capture a mix of CHS players in (and out) of action, as well as faithful fans on hand to witness the Wolves sweep varsity and JV matches from visiting Mount Vernon Christian.

OK, life isn’t always fair.

We’re starting off with that because I have 25 portraits of Coupeville High School cheerleaders and not enough room to run all of them at one time.

I mean, I have the room (it’s the internet, there are no page lengths), but very few people will scroll through that epic a story.

Most of my photo essays are a crisp six to eight photos, which has seemed to be the ideal length for readers.

Enough pics to feel like you got your money’s worth (even though you viewed this page for free…), without total brain overload.

So, I tried to make things as equal as possible by tossing the numbers 1-25 in a random number generator and letting the whims of fate pick who gets their glossy portraits on the internet this fine day.

Truth be told, at some point this season all of the portraits will appear, so, for those who didn’t make the cut (as selected by sheer randomness), your time will come.

And after all, photo #4 is a team photo, so you’re all there anyway.

Ben Olson debates going rogue and firing off the drum solo from Van Halen’s “Hot for Teacher” just to see if anyone’s paying attention.

Coupeville Booster Club bigwigs have their eyes on you.

That moment when your team is beating the snot out of your biggest rivals.

Incoming frosh Luci Coleburn plays her first sporting event as a fully accredited member of the high school band.

Three Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Famers — (l to r) Amanda Fabrizi, Danny Savalza and Haley Sherman — come back to visit their alma mater.

“Drive home safely, South Whidbey!!”

It was fandemonium.

Saturday’s home football opener brought out a huge chunk of Coupeville, from current students to alumni, Booster Club bigwigs to the working media.

Wanderin’ paparazzi John Fisken fired off a few hundred photos to capture the off-field scene, which I’ve culled down to a reasonable eight or so for the moment.

Jump in, and come out as happy as the Wolf faithful were after a 41-10 demolishing of Island arch-rival South Whidbey.

Wolf QB Hunter Downes ran a crisp, high-impact offense all night long. (John Fisken photos)

“On three, we unleash Hell!!”

Teo Keilwitz (left) and Reilly team up to tenderize an unlucky Falcon.

Denied! Uriel Liquidano rises up to swat away a Falcon pass.

Opening night was all smiles for Martin, as he ripped up the field on both sides of the ball.

Hunter Smith will not be denied on his birthday, diving in for one of his three touchdowns.

It was pretty much a perfect storm.

Coupeville unleashed a big-play offense, matched it with a ferocious, pedal-to-the-metal defense and destroyed arch-rival South Whidbey 41-10 Saturday night.

As they brought The Bucket back home, the Wolves did so under the watchful eye of wanderin’ paparazzi John Fisken, who provides us with the pics seen above.

Wolf spikers tip off in style!!

The CHS varsity has a pre-match get-together.

Hope Lodell unleashes.

They stared down the big dogs and lived to tell about it.

Coupeville may be one of the smallest 1A schools in the state, but its spikers showed no fear Saturday, facing off with two huge schools at a season-opening jamboree.

Host Oak Harbor is a 3A school, while Mt. Vernon calls 4A home.

Whatever they lacked in numbers, the Wolves made up in grit and hustle.

“We did well – I’m very optimistic about our starting point this early in the season,” said CHS coach Cory Whitmore. “It was great to get playing someone other than each other and come together to showcase what we’ve worked hard on so far.”

As the Wolves sparred with the Wildcats and Bulldogs, they stayed focused on the areas their first-year head coach had outlined for them.

“I was happy that we left each game with something specific we improved upon,” Whitmore said. “Our passing was a big focus and by the end that was a skill I felt like saw the most growth.”

Coupeville got plenty of floor time, with both its varsity and JV getting two matches each.

“We remained competitive with everyone; we even took a game from Oak Harbor,” Whitmore said. “I’m pleased with the two squads’ baseline that we set today.

“Now it’s about taking steps forward in each contest and practice.”

The Wolves open regular season play Tuesday (4:30 JV/6:00 varsity), with the first of five straight home matches.

Their foe on opening night is Mount Vernon Christian, which went 18-5 and finished fourth at state in 1B last season.
