Freshman spiker Raven Vick leads off our series of fall sports portraits. (John Fisken photos)

Aiden Crimmins, senior, tennis.

Megan Thorn, freshman, soccer.

Gavin Knoblich, freshman, football.

Jaschon Baumann, sophomore, tennis.

Kalia Littlejohn, sophomore, soccer.

Chris Battaglia, sophomore, football.

Mikayla Elfrank, junior, volleyball.

Everyone approaches their portrait differently.

Some smile. Others go as far to the opposite extreme as possible.

Whichever route they pursue, John Fisken (and his trusty camera) are there to document their choice.

The pics above are just a small taste of those he captured at recent CHS fall sports practices.

To be fair, I randomly selected two athletes from each of the sports (volleyball, tennis, soccer and football), varsity and JV, to showcase some of his work.

The view from what is, for one more season at least, the visitors side of the field.

Headed down the home stretch.

Saturday night it becomes a reality.

When football fans flood into Mickey Clark Field for Coupeville’s season opener against arch-rival South Whidbey, they will also get to take in the sparkling new track which sprung up this summer.

Until then, wanderin’ paparazzi John Fisken offers you these unique views of the new oval (and the freshly-painted gridiron).

How did he get them? He’ll never tell, so you probably shouldn’t ask.

Just say thank you and move on.

With a number of players still needing to get their practices in, Thursday’s jamboree featured a partial Wolf team.

Fall sports is on the stage.

The start of school is still several days away, but Coupeville High School cracked the seal on the 2016-2017 sports year Thursday, sending its girls’ soccer squad to Oak Harbor for a four-team jamboree.

While there the Wolves beat 1A rival South Whidbey 1-0 and fell 3-0 to their 3A Wildcat hosts. Lake Stevens rounded out the quartet.

Poppin’ over from his Oak Harbor abode, wanderin’ paparazzi John Fisken snapped the pics seen above.

Back with a vengeance!!

They kicked things off with a bang.

Ushering in the 2016-2017 prep sports year, the Coupeville High School girls’ soccer team went into jamboree play Thursday with a thin roster, yet emerged happy with the results.

Despite only having 11 eligible players (four of them freshmen) as everyone scrambles to get enough practices in, the Wolves beat arch-rival South Whidbey and held their own for much of the game with host Oak Harbor.

Sparring with the Falcons, who they will meet in the regular season opener (Sept. 8 in Coupeville), the CHS booters pulled off a dazzling goal en route to a 1-0 win.

Junior captain Sage Renninger crushed the ball which deflated the heart of South Whidbey’s defense, but the play was first set-up by a wild back-and-forth passing effort.

Lindsey Roberts dropped a dead-eye pass to Kalia Littlejohn, who worked a give-and-go with freshman Avalon Renninger.

With the ball back on her foot, Littlejohn, “who impressed the whole crowd with some unbelievable ball skills that would have made David Copperfield blush!!” according to coach Troy Cowan, set up Renninger.

“Sage drove a ball that never hit the ground into the back of the net like a Scud missile!!!,” wailed the happily-hyperventilating coach.

Facing off with Oak Harbor, a much-bigger 3A squad, the scrappy 1A Wolves mixed their lineup around and got valuable pitch time for their younger players.

While Coupeville fell 3-0, it showed off “an awesome display of perseverance and never die soccer.”

Cowan hailed the play of veteran Mia Littlejohn, who “consistently made runs and initiated our counterattacks” and fleet-footed frosh Mallory Kortuem, who sizzled in her high school debut.

Capping the night was the performance of sophomore Ema Smith in goal.

“I would be remiss if I didn’t say our jamboree MVP would be Ema,” Cowan said. “This courageous young lady donned the goalie jersey for the very first time in her young career and with really one day to practice!!!

“Well done Ema, you did a terrific job!”

One of Coupeville’s Bronec brothers (right) battles in the pits. Is it Hunter or Hurlee? Only their mother knows for sure.

Wyatt Howard (13) and Gabriel Reed (far right) lead the charge, as Downes prepares to deposit the ball in his running back’s hands.

The gridiron is alive with the sounds of fall.

Helmets hitting, water bottles squirting and paparazzi clicking.

As the Oak Harbor Football and Cheer League opened regular season play Saturday, John Fisken was in place, snapping away and capturing all the action.

The pics above, which come courtesy him, showcase a few of the Coupeville kids playing youth football while disguised in purple and gold.
