Makana Stone (left) and former teammate Kacie Kiel get ready to tip-off and…

Yep, Stone is still just a wee bit taller than her best friend.

Wolf freshman Lindsey Roberts learns to block out against wily old pro Hailey Hammer.

They still love the camera. L to r, Brittany Black, Hammer, Kiel, Messner and Amanda Fabrizi bring the gun show back to town.

Courtney Arnold hasn’t lost her shooting touch.

New school meets “old” school.

Mia Littlejohn can almost taste the bucket, but Fabrizi asks, “Can you smell what the defense is cooking?!”

Monday was the ladies turn.

Two days after the Tom Roehl Roundball Classic brought a collection of former CHS male hoops stars back to the court they once ruled, the Wolf girls welcomed home their own alumni.

Six former Coupeville standouts — Brittany Black, Courtney Arnold, Breeanna Messner, Kacie Kiel, Hailey Hammer and Amanda Fabrizi — returned to scrimmage against this year’s varsity.

The brainchild of CHS girls’ hoops coaches David and Amy King, the match-up of new school and (semi) old school was a rousing success.

“The scrimmage went really well,” David King said. “Bodies flying everywhere, laughs, the enjoyment of playing basketball and respect from both sides.”

With winter break having limited them to just one game in the last 17 days, the Wolf girls (5-2 this season) were champing at the bit for some on-court action.

And they got it, with 9 of their 10 varsity players getting a chance to play against the alumni.

Tiffany Briscoe, Lauren Rose, Mia Littlejohn, Kailey Kellner, Kyla Briscoe, Makana Stone, Allison Wenzel, Lauren Grove and Lindsey Roberts all were on hand, while Skyler Lawrence was unable to attend.

“It was great for Amy and me to see and have the older players in and seeing them play again,” David King said. “And as a coach it was great to see this current team take on the challenge of showing how good they can be for the rest of our season.

“The final score doesn’t matter,” he added. “It’s the time spent together that makes everyone a winner!”

After all these years, I still remember how to spell Boom Phomvongkoth. Point, me.

Back from college for a moment, Ben Etzell is droppin’ shots like they’re hot.

Jerry Helm finds himself in a sticky situation, as Mike Vaughan (left) and White make him the middle of their defense sandwich.

Jason Bagby (right) has instituted a no-fly zone.

One of the rare times tourney organizer Noah Roehl sat down during the nine-hour-plus day.

The current Coupeville Middle School gym never existed when Gavin Keohane (right) played for the Wolves, but he adapted quickly, torching the joint.

Cody Peters (and his magnificent beard) gets ready to rumble, old school style.

Brad Sherman, slicin’ ‘n dicin’ just like he used to back in the day.

Titans meet, as Scott Stuurmans rises up to deny Bagby.

Monday hits and they’ve gone back to the real world.

Perfect time to pull out some of the best photos from Saturday’s 8th annual Tom Roehl Roundball Classic, a time when former Coupeville hoops stars (and guys from other programs) assembled to once again run the hardwood.

The photos above are courtesy John Fisken, and I’ve chosen to go heavy on former Wolves, since this is … Coupeville Sports.

But never fear, Oak Town ballers and off-Islanders.

Simply pop over to the link below (once you get there it’s nicely broken down by individual games) and you’ll see all of Fisken’s pics.

Purchase some and you’ll help the fundraising, as 10% of all sales will go back to the Roehls for their foundation, which provides college scholarships each year.

Smile (or glare) for the camera!!

Cameron Toomey-Stout, the only one of 39 Wolf hoops players not to be present on head shot day.

Well, we almost nailed the landing.

On the night travelin’ photo man John Fisken captured head shots of the Coupeville High School basketball players, 38 of 39 athletes were on hand.

Sophomore Cameron Toomey-Stout, who has been pulling double-duty while performing in “The Nutcracker,” was the lone Wolf to go AWOL.

But, when he’s working his rear off that hard to make both the hoops and dance communities happy, we can’t leave him out, so he gets his own photo.

Which might have been his plan the whole time.

Cameron is pretty dang smart, after all.

Dante Mitchell, looking like he stepped out of an NBA promotional video. (John Fisken photos)

Lions, Lions everywhere and yet Risen Johnson never loses his cool.

Wiley Hesselgrave moonlights as a ballet dancer. True story.

“Do I have time for a selfie? I do, son, I do.”

That moment when Jordan Ford (5) is not sure if this is all going to work out. Spoiler: it did.

Hunter Smith has a little shake, he has a little bake, he’s about to drive home the stake.

Ryan Griggs: “It’s my basketball and he needs to get his stinkin’ fingers off of it!!”

More smiles than I've ever seen in one Wolf boys team photo, ever. Nicely played, gentlemen.

More sauciness than I’ve ever seen in one Wolf boys team photo, ever. Nicely played, gentlemen.

They are the hottest team in the land.

After polishing off Concrete Friday, the Coupeville High School boys’ basketball squad has won three straight, is above .500 for the first time in five seasons at 4-3 and sits atop the 1A Olympic League.

As they kept the express rolling, travelin’ camera man John Fisken snapped away and captured the pics above.

Luke Merriman gets the offense out and running. (John Fisken photos)

Gabe Eck (red shoes), effortlessly stylish while lounging. The kids next to him? Impressed, they are.

Brian “The Destroyer” Shank, about to explode for two of his game-high 15.

Beauman Davis comes in hot.

Dare to challenge the Wolves? They will cold stare you down, fool.

Ty Eck, using skills he picked up as a defensive back in football, denies the pass.

Every color of the rainbow is represented by CHS boys’ basketball players.

Andre Avila, a dribbling maniac.

Cruise control.

The Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball squad hit it early Friday night, thrashing visiting Concrete with a hail of three-point bombs launched from somewhere out in the parking lot.

In between the exploding treys, travelin’ camera man John Fisken snapped the pics above.
