Heart of a champion.

The future is fine-tuning its skills set.

With the start of a new Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball season less than two weeks away, the Wolves are hard at work.

Dribbling drills, rebound work, learning to pose for the camera man — all in a day’s work.

Wandering through the gym before heading across the hallway to snap high school action, John Fisken caught the next generation of hoops stars hard at work.

Brisa

Brisa Herrera has eyes only for the rebound she’s about to snatch.

Mia

Mia Littlejohn is not in a mood to share the ball.

Kailey

Kailey Kellner doesn’t need to see the ball. She has rebound radar.

They’re slicin’ n’ dicin’ the Olympic League.

One spin through the new conference and both Coupeville High School girls’ basketball squads are a pristine 3-0, with wins over Klahowya, Port Townsend and Chimacum.

Varsity or JV, the Wolves are the premier program in the land these days, plus they take pretty good pictures.

Hunter

Hunter Smith gets animated as he glides in for a quick bucket.

Trumbull

   Aaron Trumbull only needs one hand to shoot. The other is to high-five the defender after the ball hits nothing but net.

Joey Lippo's feet are going in two different directions but the ball is going in just one direction -- to the bottom of the net.

Joey Lippo has a license to shoot.

"Dear sweet lord, he's right behind me, isn't he?!?!"

“Dear sweet lord, he’s right behind me, isn’t he?!?!”

Desmond

Desmond Bell believes he can fly. He’s right.

Isaac

Isaac Vargas has claimed the paint for himself. Enter at your own risk.

Dante Mitchell rises up to snatch a board away from a pair of Chimacum players.

Even in a pair of losses, there were bright moments.

While both of the Coupeville High School boys’ basketball teams fell Wednesday, big plays popped up all over the place and travelin’ photo man John Fisken was on hand to capture most of them with a click of the camera.

“We’re here all night, baby!!”

"They broke my camera..."

“They broke my camera…”

Sometimes the cameraman likes to wander.

You can only snap so many shots of basketball players at work before you need to shake things up a bit and spin the clicker towards the audience.

Fueled up by dangerously-high levels of Diet Coke, travelin’ photo man John Fisken delivered these snaps from Wednesday night’s home hoops doubleheader.

Bask in the glow.

Poor Canada. All that money and I still have a bigger photo crew than you.

While the Canuck-funded “local” newspapers do without a full-time photographer (hey, that’s money that can be spent on corporate vacations, eh?), I have an army at my beck and call.

Sort of.

None of them really respond to the whole beck and call thing very well. But they do take nice photos.

The photos above come courtesy of three different pic wizards — John Fisken, Eileen Stone and Wolf hoops star Maddie Big Time, aka Madeline Strasburg.
