Lauren Grove (3) gets mugged in broad daylight and yet the refs see nothing. NOTHING, I said.

Kailey

Kailey Kellner (42) can out-rebound any two of your girls.

Julia Myers, always classy.

  Julia Myers holds her breath until someone takes her picture. Being an irrepressible camera-magnet, she only had to wait 1.3 seconds for it to happen.

Best team in the conference.

Even after a tough, one-point loss to Bellevue Christian Saturday, the Coupeville High School girls’ basketball team is the only one of the eight teams in the 1A Olympic League with a winning record.

In fact, at 2-1, they have twice as many wins as the other seven squads do combined.

The Coupeville boys (1-3) are the only other team to even have a win, with Klahowya, Chimacum and Port Townsend’s boys and girls squads a combined 0-11 in non-conference play so far.

To celebrate, some spiffy new John Fisken pics of the Wolf girls in action.

Today we’re giving thanks.

Thanks to John Fisken for snapping the basketball pics that reside above these words.

And thanks to the Shanks (Matt and Brian) for having a last name that allows me to drop some (mild) wordplay.

"Dude! Don't hurt me!!" The defense wants no part of Coupeville's Aram Leyva.

rain

  “Singin’ in the rain? More like mumbling to myself while freezin’ my rear in the rain…”

The calendar says it’s basketball season, but soccer wasn’t quite done just yet.

Kickin’ in the rain, the BU13 Whidbey Islanders soccer squad, which includes a number of guys from Coupeville, played its season finale Saturday and John Fisken braved the drops to capture the pics above.

While I’ve ID’d the Wolves (hopefully correctly) I have no roster and no freakin’ idea who the other kids might be.

I assume you’re all from Oak Harbor.

If that’s true and you want to be ID’d on a blog called Coupeville Sports, maybe get your parents to move.

Otherwise, well, you got your picture on the internet, so … partial win for you.

Ball-hawk Lauren Grove is not one to stay quiet on defense.

They were missing a few players, but those in attendance were strong enough to win the day. L to r, Briscoe, Brisa Herrera, Grove, Mia Littlejohn, Mattea Miller, Kailey Kellner and Allison Wenzel.

They didn’t have strength in numbers, but they did have strength.

Despite playing with just six players, the ever-rugged Coupeville High School JV girls’ hoops squad chopped down Darrington Friday.

Working the sideline in the CMS gym, documenting the Wolves as they howled, was John Fisken, who provides the pics above.
