Ally Roberts

   “I said no photos!!” The darker side of Ally Roberts emerges for a moment. Of course, two seconds later she was threatening to break dance for everyone, so not that dark… (John Fisken photos)

McKenzie

   Photo Bomb Queen McKenzie Bailey (second from left), already in mid-season form.

Kyla

   Kyla Briscoe shows her support for Kayla Rose, while Kailey Kellner and Bailey just stopped by to ask “how you doin’?”

Makana

   More star power than one photo can contain, as (l to r) Wolf seniors Makana Stone, Jazmine Franklin and Jared Helmstadter share a moment.

Abby parker

Is there ever a moment when Abby Parker is not happy? No, no there is not.

Kiel

Eliana and Steve Kiel approve of Abby’s positive attitude.

Sydney

Sydney Autio has got volleyballs to spike and smiles to beam.

Cole

The Wolf student section or a meeting for future GQ models? You decide.

Not all the action takes place on the court.

With a band of CHS volleyball players (and fans) more than willing to play to the camera, wandering clicker John Fisken can usually find a lot going on even when the score isn’t being kept.

Thankfully, he then shares his discoveries with us.

I may have to buy him another Diet Coke or two…

Tiffany Briscoe (15) and Valen Trujillo (2) are just here for the photo ops.

Sarah

Sarah Wright threatens to make the volleyball cry.

team

Celebrate every point like it’s the one that wins a state title.

Kameryn

Eyes always locked on the ball, Kameryn St Onge is here to save the day.

Kenzi LaRue

Kenzi LaRue glides into the attack.

Valen

Trujillo remains mildly excited.

McKenzie

   Wolf seniors McKenzie Bailey (5) and Sydney Autio finally get swept away in the excitement.

Thrilled to be on the court.

You can see it on their faces, every time the Coupeville High School spikers take the court.

Whether it’s practice or a real match (well, maybe not so much during practice…) the Wolves love the game and it shows.

That joy spills out through every frame of the pics offered up by travelin’ photo man John Fisken above.

Big hits, big clicks!!

Wiley Hesselgrave (Steve Smith photo)

   You dare to put your mitts on Wiley Hesselgrave (10) when he’s about to break a big run? This does not please Mr. Hesselgrave whatsoever. (Steve Smith photo)

Shane Losey

   Every hair on Shane Losey’s neck is screaming one thing … RUN!! (Fisken photo)

Jacob Martin

   Having scooped up a fumble, Jacob Martin (32) has eyes only for the end zone. Spoiler: he made it. (Smith photo)

attack

   A pack of Wolves, led by Cameron Toomey-Stout (11), devour a Falcon runner. (Fisken photo)

Hunter Smith

Julian Welling

   Julian Welling (51) and Hesselgrave prepare to initiate the Sandwich Protocol, in which they take one Falcon and squish him between two tacklers. (Smith photo)

The sounds of fall are echoing across Whidbey.

Helmets hitting pads. Quarterbacks screaming signals. Fans bellowing for their teams. Roving photographers firing off a million clicks a second.

As Coupeville High School opened a new football season with two games — a varsity contest at South Whidbey Friday and a JV battle at home in Cow Town Tuesday — photo men Steve Smith and John Fisken were hard at work documenting the hard-hitting action.

The photos above are courtesy them.

Jumpin’ jamborees!!

Lauren (John Fisken photos)

Valen

   McKenzie Bailey (right) is a tad concerned Valen Trujillo (center) may be making a bid for her role as #1 photo subject. No one comes for the Queen.

Katrina

   Katrina McGranahan (back) is ready for her close-up, while Kyla Briscoe is still a little peeved she had to get up so early.

Sarah

   Sarah Wright, having scarred the court with some powerhouse kills, attempts to buff out the damage.

Breanne

   No one escapes Bailey, the Photo Bomb Queen. No one. Not even Wolf coach Breanne Smedley.

team

The pride of Coupeville.

Hope

   Hope Lodell, always ready to operate as “The Surgeon.” No one tell her that the scissors aren’t real, though…

Payty

   Payton Aparicio (7) finds herself the center of attention in a pack of camera-friendly Wolves.

The first spike has landed.

More importantly perhaps, the first photo has also landed.

Making their official 2015 debut Saturday, the Coupeville High School volleyball squad squared off with a pack of rivals at a jamboree in Oak Harbor.

For more on the actual on-court action, you’ll have to wait a hot moment or two until the next story pops up here on the blog tonight.

This one? It’s all about the photo ops.

And they said Richard Sherman would never be on this blog…

   Hard-running rookie Thomas Rawls guns it up field. He carried 11 times for a team-high 87 yards and a touchdown in the win.

celebration

   Bobby Wagner (59), Richard Sherman (dreadlocks) and Mohammed Seisay (39) are among those celebrating a play on the sidelines.

Well, it’s not the Steelers, but it’s a start.

Rovin’ photo man John Fisken was originally going to shoot the girls’ high school soccer jamboree in Oak Harbor Thursday.

Then he went and got all professional on us, nabbing a press pass to shoot the final Seattle Seahawks preseason game against the Raiders.

So, while the Hawks were dismantling their much-hated rivals 31-21, our guy was in there shooting the NFL like an insider.

And then he was nice enough to let me run a couple of his photos, so we’ll back off giving him any grief over skipping out on soccer.

Of course, if he wants to shoot a true championship team, he’ll need to head to Pittsburgh one of these days.

You know, where they actually have more than one Lombardi trophy in the case.

I kid. I kid… Go Steelers!!
