The schedule for spring sports is ever-fluid.

Fall holds pretty stable and winter is generally rock-solid, as few things short of a tsunami hitting Whidbey can throw off the basketball schedule.

But spring, with it’s raining one moment and 65-degrees the next, with prom, with the countdown to graduation?

Spring is a different beast.

Case in point, no matter what the Coupeville school’s online calendar says, THERE IS A CHS SOFTBALL GAME TUESDAY.

It’s a non-conference home game against Concrete (first pitch 4 PM) and it’s a game that’s already been bounced across at least three dates.

But, for now, it’s tomorrow.

So, if you need to skip work, start planning now.

Snappy pics to tide you over!!

Hope Lodell, AKA “The Surgeon,” about to operate on a pitch.

Wolf netter Valen Trujillo basks in the glow of being named Player of the Match.

Track speedsters Lathom Kelley (left) and Jared Helmstadter gaze into a future full of visits to the medal stand.

Sweet-swingin’ Hunter Smith does what he does.

The refs stop Abraham Leyva to ask for his autograph.

CHS hurler Katrina McGranahan snaps off a pitch.

The future of Coupeville Sports, the irrepressible Mollie Bailey.

Of course it’s sunny today.

In typical high school spring sports fashion, a day when nothing is scheduled to be played is balmy and delightful.

Friday saw clouds, rain and the cancellation of both CHS events — a girls’ tennis match at Friday Harbor and a softball game down in Langley.

And now, with spring break upon us, there is a general dearth of games for a bit.

If it wasn’t for a rescheduled (for the 17th time) home softball game against Concrete Tuesday, April 7 (first pitch, weather permitting, 4 PM), no Wolf squad would be playing for an eight-day period.

Both baseball and softball hit the field Friday, April 10 to play La Conner, re-kicking spring sports off.

As you wait out the dry period, here’s a few snappy pics, courtesy John Fisken, to remind you of what Coupeville spring sports would look like … if any of the teams were playing.

Katrina McGranahan slaps a tag on a surprised Lynden Christian runner. (John Fisken photos)

“Get in my mitt!” Kyla Briscoe is a vacuum at first base.

McKayla Bailey (13) stares wistfully across the prairie as the Lynden coach rambles during pre-game talks.

Monica Vidoni (left) owns third base and she’s not in a mood to let any pesky runners claim the bag.

Wolf coach Deanna Rafferty delivers impassioned direction to her squad.

Do you dare run on the laser arm of Lauren Rose? Only if you’re a fool.

Kailey Kellner, Heather Nastali and Briscoe

Kailey Kellner (12), Heather Nastali (4) and Briscoe are just hangin’ around.

McGranahan unleashes The Knee Buckler.

The action was hoppin’ and the camera was clickin’.

Under sunny skies (for most of the afternoon, at least) the Coupeville High School softball squad returned to action Wednesday and John Fisken was there, Diet Coke bottle in hand, to snap away.

The photos above are just a taste of what he recorded.

Roar, Wolves, roar!!

Sebastian Davis comes alive. (John Fisken photos)

Your kung fu is strong. Jose Marcos's is stronger.

The kung fu is strong in Jose Marcos.

William Nelson gets his head in the game.

Garrett Compton circles the defense, looking for an opening.

Cody Menges, the middle of the sandwich.

Can’t catch Colin Belliveau.

Closing the day with a semi-awkward bro hug.

It was a beautiful day for the beautiful game.

The sun was shining, the wind was only mild (for the prairie, at least) and the soccer was successful Saturday, as the Coupeville High School booters took Forks out behind the wood shed.

Scampering down the sideline, various cameras in hand, was travelin’ photo man John Fisken, who provides us with the pics that reside above.

Swingin’ for success!!

Jazmine Franklin prepares to launch a little serve she likes to call “The Kneecap Shredder.” (John Fisken photos)

One of the Luveras delivers some airborne action. Is it Ana? Is it Ivy? Should they start wearing name tags so idiots like me will know who’s who? Possibly…

CHS cheerleader Camilla Rische (striped shirt) stops by to cheer on some of her favorite girls.

The mighty, mighty Wolves. Well, most of them.

Payton Aparicio calls it. “We’re winning this match in two sets. No less, no more.”

Bree Dagineault prepares to beat the stuffin’ out of the defenseless tennis ball.

Sydney Autio has officially launched a missile.

The uniforms are the same, but the shoes tell a different tale.

McKenzie Bailey and Wynter Thorne want another banner.

As the only two young women who are members of both of Coupeville High School’s girls’ basketball and tennis varsity squads, the duo have already been part of winning one Olympic League title.

Now, after helping the Wolves crush Klahowya 6-1 in Thursday’s tennis opener, Bailey and Thorne have their eyes on the prize again.

Cruising the fence, snappin’ pics of the duo and their teammates at work, was John Fisken, who provides us with the pics that reside above.
