CJ Smith is too quick for a straying Blaine runner.

Wolf catcher Cole Payne contemplates the universe. “I just keep calling for strikes, and they keep on throwing strikes. Dang, I am freakin’ gold today!”

The season opened with a bang.

Any time you no-hit your foes and romp to a 10-0 win on Opening Day, which is just what the CHS baseball squad did Saturday against Blaine, it’s a good day.

Now, depending on how fast the field dries out, the Wolves are scheduled to put their winning streak on the line today against former Cascade Conference rival Sultan.

First pitch is set for 4 PM (depending on general sogginess).

To get you ready, a couple of quick pics from travelin’ photo man John Fisken.

Scout Smith can’t contain her excitement over the basket she’s about to make. “It’s gonna be epic, dude!!” (John Fisken photos)

Ashlie Shank (left) and Lindsey Roberts spend some quality off-court time together.

Avalon Renninger prepares to pump-fake and drive past her defender.

What brings a team together? A camera. Always.

Rising Wolf star Ema Smith and her #1 fan.

Sarah Wright (33) gazes into the future. “We’re gonna kick some booty at the high school level!”

Kalia Littlejohn, who has been battling illness all season, texts her future opponents. “Dear Sir or Madam, I’m gonna drop 20 on you. All my best, Kalia.”

Smith is already learning how best to deal with the paparazzi.

Learn their names now, because you’ll be hearing and reading them a lot in the future.

Lindsey. Kalia. Scout. Avalon. And on and on.

The young women who played basketball for Coupeville Middle School may have wrapped up their season Thursday, but they’ll be back.

Bigger. Taller. Stronger. Quicker. More well-honed in the basketball arts.

They were successful on the floor this time around, and that should carry over as they begin to move up and join the very successful CHS squads — the high school varsity and JV went a combined 18-0 in league play — in the coming years.

Until then, here are eight snappy pics of the young guns in action, on and off the court, from the finale in Langley.

The future starts now.

Nick Dion (right) was told there would be cake. Why else would he show up for soccer practice on his birthday? (John Fisken photos)

Jae LeVine gets some advice from CHS softball coach Deanna Rafferty.

Lathom Kelley (38) and Makana Stone thunder down the stretch, while Jared Helmstadter (middle) prepares to blow them both away.

Jake Hoagland, Jedi baseball player, able to catch the ball with his eyes shut.

Wolf tennis coach Ken Stange: “I can hit this ball so hard it’ll take out that eagle on top of the Crockett Barn! Can so!!!!”

Jose Castro works his foot magic.

Allison Wenzel charges for the line, an explosion of color signalling her arrival.

McKayla Bailey appears to be watching the incoming softball. But she ALWAYS know where the camera is. Just trust me on that one.

Spring sports are just around the corner.

Practice has been going for almost two weeks, and the first taste of real competition hits this Saturday.

The Wolf baseball squad hosts Blaine (1 PM) on the windiest, coldest field known to man, while a stone’s throw away at the same time the CHS boys’ soccer team will play South Whidbey and Lake Stevens in a jamboree.

To get you ready, here’s eight spiffy John Fisken photos from the early days of practice, headed up by Nick Dion, who celebrates his 16th birthday today.

A scholar and an athlete, and a pretty good guy in general, here’s to Nick and the rest of the Wolves as they head into a new season bright with promise.

Be like Bree n’ Brandon!!

Breeanna Messner, back in the day, (Shelli Trumbull photo)

Breeanna Messner, back in the day, workin’ hard for that scholarship money. (Shelli Trumbull photo)

There’s money to be made. Scholarship money.

For the second year, rovin’ photo man John Fisken will be handing out a pair of $250 college scholarships to Coupeville High School student/athletes.

The scholarships are funded by sales of photos that he takes at CHS and CMS games. So, when you buy a photo, you are part of the solution.

Applications can be picked up in the counselor’s office at the high school. The deadline to apply comes in mid-April.

Breeanna Messner and Brandon Kelley took home the inaugural awards last year.

To be eligible, athletes should have played at least two sports for all four years (consideration is given to athletes who didn’t attend CHS all four years) and have a 3.0 or better GPA.

There is no requirement the winners be one boy and girl. Fisken can do that or go with two boys or two girls. Up to him.

Just off the top of my head, names like McKayla Bailey, Madeline Strasburg, Hailey Hammer, Monica Vidoni, Kacie Kiel, Joel Walstad, Matt Shank, Aaron Curtin and Aaron Trumbull jump to mind. And that’s just a start.

Go! Apply! Even if you don’t 100% fit the criteria, Fisken is flexible.

Wow him in the one-on-one interview (and maybe bring him a can of Diet Coke as a subtle bribe…). Knock him out with your essay.

Earn your spot just like you did on the athletic field. You’re all champs, whether I named you or not.

Don’t leave money on the table.

John Fisken needs Diet Coke money!!

Priceless memories captured via the high-tech, soul-stealing magic of a camera. (John Fisken photos)

“I’d buy that for $1!! How about you, Risen?!”

John Fisken wants your money.

Of course, he is willing to give you something back in return.

The rovin’ photo man spent much of the winter camped out in the Coupeville High School gym, fortified by just an endless stream of Diet Coke, snapping pics of all the basketball shenanigans, on and off the court.

Now, as the Wolves head into spring, he’s dropping a reminder that players, parents, grandmas and other folks can preserve their memories of the 2014-2015 basketball season by purchasing a few of said photos.

Photos can be found at the following sites:

http://www.olympicleague.com/index.php?league=21&page_name=school_home&school=0&sport=0

http://www.cascadeathletics.com/index.php?district=1&league=2

Or, for the remainder of March, Fisken is offering a special deal. Contact him directly at johnfisken@comcast.net and he’ll pick photos for you.

Buy 10 or more and he’ll discount to $5 a pop ($7 normal).

You give him an idea of what you want (action, goofy, group, etc.) and he’ll give you his all-star version of your Wolf athlete’s journey through the season.

Digital images (higher grade than what you can copy off of Coupeville Sports) will be emailed directly to you and then you can make as many prints of each photo as desired.

As always, any purchases help fund college scholarships for CHS senior student/athletes.
