Risen Johnson caps a breakaway with a sweet layup.

DeAndre Mitchell rises up and wins the opening tip.

Aaron Curtin (15) and Dalton Martin find themselves in the middle of a four-player collision.

Wiley Hesselgrave shows off his hops.

CJ Smith, owner of a laser focus.

The Wolf JV have the best seats in the house.

Martin fights his way through the paint, one painful lunge at a time.

They play for first-place.

When the Coupeville High School boys’ basketball squad takes the floor Friday night (4:45 JV/6:30 varsity) to face Klahowya, it’ll be the first 1A Olympic League game of the season.

League rivals Port Townsend (0-3 in non-conference play) and Chimacum (0-3) will take turns playing non-league foe Blaine this weekend.

So, while the Wolves (1-4) and Eagles (0-4) may not have stellar win-loss records, the victor will have sole possession of the top spot in the conference — at least for a night.

To get you prepped, here’s a smorgasbord of pics of the Wolves in action, courtesy John Fisken.

Queens of the court!!

And lo, in that moment, Makana Stone shall rise up and smite thee and you will have great lamentation. (John Fisken photos)

Mia Littlejohn (and her super-charged ponytail) will not be allowing you anywhere near the basket today.

Proud parents Eileen and Josh Stone. One is a little more camera shy than the other.

Monica Vidoni claims the paint as her own.

Too bad they don’t like having their photo taken…

Wynter Thorne, nailin’ shots and takin’ names.

Wolves (l to r) Vidoni, Hailey Hammer and Madeline Strasburg (and CHS cheerleader Ashlyn Miller, far right) care. Deeply.

“I’m just saying, we all got together and bought you that seeing eye dog. Be nice if you used it.”

The action was sizzlin’.

Whether on the court or off, the Coupeville High School girls’ basketball players were their usual dynamic selves Monday as they faced off with Mount Baker.

Working the sidelines to capture the moments, big or small, for you, was travelin’ photo man John Fisken.

Don’t mess with the Battlin’ Briscoes!!

Tiffany Briscoe makes dang sure no one is taking this rebound away from her. (John Fisken photos)

Lil’ sis can fight, too. Kyla Briscoe goes to battle.

Brisa Herrera struggles for control of the ball.

Mattea Miller slides into position, ready to offer a bit of rejection to the Baker shooter.

You can jab all you want. Kailey Kellner is not moving.

Lauren Grove: “Yes, I got the ball, and no, you do not need to know how.”

Allison Wenzel stops ‘n pops.

The young Wolves listen to hoops wisdom from CHS coaches Amy (in black) and David King.

Elbows were thrown.

Monday’s tussle between the JV girls’ hoops squads of Coupeville and Mount Baker was a physical one.

The visiting Mountaineers were aggressive, and, once a few Wolves got over their initial trepidation, it became a push-and-shove-and-bounce-folks-off-the-hardwood event.

Working the sidelines to catch all the intensity was photo man John Fisken, who provides the pics residing above.

It’s a Judy, Judy, Judy world!!

Posted in A freakin' American hero, Girls Basketball, tagged Basketball, Christopher's on Whidbey, CHS Wolves, John Fisken photos, Judy, Julia Myers, Taylor Herreman on December 9, 2014| Leave a Comment »

Julia “Judy” Myers, proving high-waisted pants are not just for the retirement home set. (John Fisken photos)

Letting her support crew (Wynter Thorne, top, McKenzie Bailey, left, and Kacie Kiel, middle) join her photo op. Judy’s nice like that.

The face transplant went beautifully.

“I tape ’em up, cause you never know when I’m gonna have to go all Mike Tyson on a fool. Silly girls, trying to take my rebounds…”

“You can give me the ball or I can just take it from you. In one of those scenarios you don’t spend the next five minutes crying…”

Classic Judy.

Taylor Herreman (left) and her lil’ sis bond.

Taylor Herreman is beloved at Christopher’s on Whidbey.

When she’s not busy studying at Gonzaga or traveling around the world, spreading wonder and merriment, the Coupeville High School grad camps out at the local restaurant.

When she does, she is a favorite of her co-workers, upper management and customers alike.

So, as we approach Christmas, it would be ideal for those of us who work with her when she’s in town to send her something in appreciation for occasionally sprinkling her awesomeness on the joint.

But what to give?

You could come up with a million things or more and they’d probably all be fine, but there is one thing that I, in my dual role of Christopher’s wage slave and Coupeville Sports kingpin, can best deliver.

So, here it is, a smorgasbord of snappy, never-before-seen photos of Taylor’s favorite lil’ sis, Julia “Elbows” Myers, aka Judy.

Being off to college, Taylor can’t be there for her sister’s basketball games — epic throw-downs where Julia channels her inner Dennis Rodman (ferocious defensive beast) on the court and her outer McKayla Bailey (irrepressible camera magnet) off the court.

Now, thanks to these photos, she can see what she’s missing.

Merry Christmas, Taylor, from everyone at Christopher’s.

For all you do, this Elbow (of Julia’s) is for you!

Smile for the camera!!

That moment when a GQ photo shoot breaks out in the stands.

CHS volleyball/tennis superstar Valen Trujillo prepares to launch a half-court shot during the halftime contest.

CMS band members get tuned up pre-game.

“Nothing but net, baby!!”

One wing of Gabe Wynn’s fan club rally around his giant head.

“Mr. Jenkins has to look away for a moment at some point… Soon as he does, a little “Highway to Hell” action is coming your way!!”

Joel Walstad’s support crew gets a photo op.

I’d say about 12% of the fans at any high school basketball game are actually dialed in and watching the game with full attention.

Other than those die-hards, it’s all about hopping around, seeing and being seen and finding ways to amuse yourself.

Of course, games also offer the chance for family and friends to come out and support the players.

In the pics above, travelin’ photo man John Fisken has captured a bit of everything, from the families to the support crew to the folks just looking to amuse themselves.

Put the photos above together and they create a mosaic of Wolf Nation, in all its diverse glory.
