One man, one towel, a million cheers!!

Cameron Toomey-Stout hit the floor and the crowd went wild. (John Fisken photos)

Mopping up the sweat (and the cheers).

A final smile for his (large) fan club.

Cameron Toomey-Stout is killin’ his freshman year.

During football season, he proved size didn’t matter, flying around the field like a heat-seeking missile, knocking bigger players on their butt on his way to lettering.

Now, he’s doing the same for the Coupeville JV boys’ basketball team.

At one point this season, he elevated and smashed the shot of a player six inches taller than himself into the third row of the bleachers.

Friday night, during the Wolf varsity game against Chimacum, his moment in the spotlight came when the refs needed someone to wipe moisture off the floor.

As he did so, his classmates started to cheer for Toomey-Stout.

Never afraid of the spotlight, he started playing to the crowd, and the chants got louder.

The Wolves might have won, knocking off the Olympic League’s #1 team in overtime, but the real winner was the guy with the towel.

The rest of you are playing a game. He’s running it.

Allison Wenzel: “Huff and puff all you want, but I’m gonna score, by the hair on my chinny chin chin!!” (John Fisken photos)

Kacie Kiel muscles her way in for two.

Tiffany Briscoe got the rebound. Now, she just needs to find a way back out of this forest.

“This gym is mine!!” Monica Vidoni lays down the law in the paint.

Brisa Herrera wraps a pass around a defender’s arm.

When Julia Myers sees an open basket, she gets moving in a hurry.

Out in front of the pack, Lauren Grove glides in for a breakaway bucket.

The wins keep coming, and so do the snappy pics.

With victories against Port Townsend Tuesday, both the Wolf varsity and JV girls teams sit at a spiffy 7-0 in Olympic League play.

To commemorate that, seven photos of CHS players being awe-inspiring, courtesy John Fisken.

They have next. (John Fisken photos)

Coaches Ryan King (back, left) and Bob Martin pose with the 7th grade squad and future star Mollie Bailey (far left), who knows a good photo op when she sees one.

Short bench, big talent for the 8th grade squad.

A gun show breaks out.

The 8th graders are not impressed…

It’s their time.

The opening days of practice are done and the Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball teams take the court for their first taste of competition this afternoon.

The Wolves will be in Langley for a jamboree (3 PM), before starting their eight-game regular season schedule at home Tuesday, Feb. 10 against Granite Falls.

Coupeville plays four of its first five at home (Feb. 12 against Langley, Feb. 25 against Sultan and March 2 against Lakewood), then closes with three straight on the road.

To get you prepped, a first look at the 20 young women who were hanging around the court when traveling photo man John Fisken swung by the gym the other day.

Shenanigans? Never!! OK, OK, very likely!!

Stylish seniors (l to r) Hailey Hammer, Madeline Strasburg and Julia Myers, dressed for success. (John Fisken photos)

Myers and Kacie Kiel have a pose-off. It was a tie.

“These hands are deadly weapons, Kace. Can’t always control ’em. Totally justified if I start slapping people for no reason. Just sayin’…”

Madeline Strasburg is a little late arriving for the photo shoot.

Madeline Strasburg is a little late arriving for the second half of the photo shoot…

“A camera? Well, I never…”

Wynter Thorne (second from left) shuts down Strasburg, as she, Monica Vidoni (middle) and the other seniors get ready to unleash a little kung fu fightin’.

“Bruce Lee ain’t got nothin’ on us!!”

“Big finish girls! Bring it home!!”

The team’s #1 fan, sophomore Aiden Crimmins, overcome by the excitement of the photo shoot, has to be carried away.

The best there’s ever been?

Possibly.

The six seniors who lead this year’s Coupeville High School girls’ basketball squad are talented, successful and full of shenanigans.

On the court, they have busted out a 13-5 record (7-0 in Olympic League play), the most wins by a Wolf girls’ hoops teams in a decade.

Along the way, they also clinched the program’s first league title since 2002.

Off the court, they take it to another level entirely.

Super comfortable in front of the camera, the six-pack (Hailey Hammer, Julia Myers, Kacie Kiel, Monica Vidoni, Wynter Thorne and Madeline Strasburg) are always willing to go the extra mile for a photo op.

The day they depart will be a sad, sad day for those of us who like to draft off their good will and get a lot of page hits in return.

Friday night they will take their final bow at home, with Senior Night against Chimacum (5:15 tip).

We may never see their like again, but we did enjoy their time at Coupeville.

Thank you, ladies, for being you.

“Scuse me, I got ankles to go break.” (John Fisken photos)

“Whoa … who let the paparazzi in here?”

The socks, they rock.

“I’m just sayin’, that basketball looks delicious…”

“I learned how to play defense watching Julia Myers. I call my elbows Thunder and Lightning and there’s a storm coming!!”

The next generation is already here.

Making their debut at halftime of the CHS girls’ basketball game Tuesday night, the youngest members of the Coupeville Boys and Girls Club hoops program made a solid debut.

While they came dangerously close to hitting a basket on the regulation 10-foot hoops, they also displayed some fancy dribbling skills and a very loose interpretation of traveling.

Roving photo man John Fisken caught these photos for us, and, who knows, come back in 10 years and we may have just gotten our first glance at a bevy of future Wolf stars.
