Skyler

Denied! Skyler Lawrence rejects your request for a basket.

"Get in my hands!!" Allison Wenzel (15) gets dramatic.

“Get … in … MY HANDS!!” Allison Wenzel (15) gets dramatic.

Lauren

   One second you’re dreaming of an easy basket. Then Lauren Grove comes sailing in to ruin your day.

“Yoink!!” Kailey Kellner: Professional Pickpocket.

   We pause for a moment brought to you by the Hand Model Society of Coupeville — (l to r) McKenzie Bailey, Kacie Kiel and Lindsey Roberts.

kiel

“Hand model comin’ through. Don’t touch the merchandise, sister!!”

"I'm just gonna sit here for a while.

“That’s it! I’m just gonna sit here for a while until you all stop stealing the ball from me!!”

They are a scrappy bunch.

As much as they love their photo ops, the Coupeville High School girls’ hoops stars love nothing more than thoroughly beatin’ the crud out of any hapless foe who dares to try and touch a basketball that the Wolf player already had their eye on.

Whether it be a rebound, a steal or a battle for a loose ball — all depicted in the photos above — the Wolves are a pack of marauders let loose.

Which is why both the varsity and JV have winning records and are (by far) the most successful hoops squads on Whidbey Island once again this winter.

Courtney Arnold Kayla Rose

The lesson not having taken,

“Relax, I’m a professional … this will open up all your airways!”

Serious

“You can mess with Texas … just not with Miss Rose. She will cut a girl, figuratively speaking.”

"Yoinks!!"

Lauren Rose (22) launches Operation Turnover. ETA — 0.3 seconds.

hhhh

“TOLD YA!!”

The second most radiant person in Coupeville High School cheer squad history is back in town for a few days.

No one is ever likely to take down the Queen herself, former Wolf coach Sylvia Arnold, when it comes to dispensing sunshine out of every pore.

BUT, if someone ever does, it’ll likely be daughter Courtney, former CHS cheer captain extraordinaire.

The living embodiment of joy, junior division, has a few days off from her senior year of college, so she’s been hitting basketball games at her old stomping grounds.

Leaving behind her a trail of never-ending hugs to one and all, Courtney has also found time to support and good-naturedly harass the next generation of Wolves.

The pics above capture her with the Rose sisters, Lauren and Kayla, as she acts like a proud mama shepherding (and roughing up) her flock.

Try and find a bigger, brighter, happier smile. I dare you.

"You can't contain him! You can only hope to slow him down!!"

“You can’t contain Hunter Smith! Fools!!” Hunter Downes testifies.

"Damn straight, son!!"

“Damn straight, son!!”

We need to talk about Hunter Smith.

The Coupeville High School freshman is burning up the court for the Wolf JV basketball squad (he also saw some floor time for the varsity earlier this season) and he’s catching the camera’s eye.

Three of the seven photos that John Fisken offers us from Wednesday’s JV match-up with Friday Harbor feature the fast-rising phenom in full color action.

That’s good news for mom Charlotte, who has easy access to some nice photos of her middle child, and for Wolf fans, who have a shooting star to admire.

Mattea

“Scuse me … pardon me … get out of my way, fool!!” The ever-polite Mattea Miller would like to get to the basket. (John Fisken photos)

team

Shenanigans, 24/7/365.

Kyla

Kyla Briscoe has got the world (or at least the basketball) by the fingertips.

engle/arnold

   Super-enthusiastic fans Amy (Craggs) Engle (left) and Courtney Arnold show off their sign-making skills.

Skyler

When it comes to snaring rebounds, Skyler Lawrence has the Grip O’ Steel.

Kacie

Kacie Kiel would like a little help. Like maybe today.

tiff

   After seeing this catch, CHS football coaches came running out of the stands to recruit Tiffany Briscoe for next season.

Katie

Former Wolf hoopsters Katie Kiel (left) and Jai’Lysa Hoskins, reunited and it feels so good.

Best team in the league. The whole league.

The Coupeville High School girls’ basketball squad sits at 4-2 after their stunning come-from-behind win over 2A Sequim Saturday.

Not only do the Wolves have the most wins of any of the four 1A schools in the league, they would also top any of the seven 2A schools.

Plus, they take pretty good pictures. So, there’s that.

John Fisken snapped the pics which reside above, a mix of the varsity and the almost-as-successful Wolf JV (3-3).

Wiley

Wiley Hesselgrave tastes the freedom of flying the friendly skies.

Ryan

  Ryan Griggs is a wee bit perturbed to discover an impertinent Klahowya player trying to make off with HIS basketball.

Mitchell

Dante Mitchell makes it rain.

Nick Etzell, defensive dynamo.

Gabe

That moment right before Gabe Wynn turns all green and rips his uniform in half.

Beauman

  Beauman Davis: “Three seconds to play, world championship on the line, only one man can save the day. See the basket, be the basket!”

Aaron

Aaron Trumbull’s coming in hot.

It was a good old-fashioned hardwood war.

When Klahowya came to Whidbey Friday to face the Coupeville High School boys’ basketball squad in the first 1A Olympic League game of the season, it was a back-and-forth affair not decided until the final two seconds.

And while the Eagles escaped back to their bus with a two-point win, Wolf fans can console themselves by gazing upon some of the photos snapped that night by travelin’ photo man John Fisken.
