"I'm on the line. I'm off the line. I'm on the line ... I could do this all day and ... whoah ... getting kinda dizzy now."

“Well, they call me UPS, cause I always deliver!!”

Basketballs were bouncing and trash talk was flowing.

Well, at least I’d like to think so.

Regardless of whether there really was any yapping Wednesday, there was plenty of hoops action playing out in the Coupeville Middle School gym.

The highlight (at least for the locals) came in the 8th grade varsity game, where the Wolves used a 32-8 second half surge to shred visiting Sultan 57-23.

Working the sidelines to give you a feel for the action was photo whiz kid John Fisken, who delivered the pics that reside above.

Time to play some hoops.

Monday night kicked off a new basketball season and travelin’ photo man John Fisken was on the scene in Coupeville to document the happenings.

The photos above capture the Wolf boys’ varsity squad, which will kick off its season with five games in eight days.

Take a gander, learn their names and sit back and wait to be entertained. The resurgence of CHS hoops continues.

To set the mood, let’s start off with some photos from the JV game. Still to come, varsity and off-the-court action, all courtesy of John Fisken.

Coupeville High School might want to look into getting a wrestling program started.

There are talented future Wolves out there conquering foes on the mats today. Once they reach high school, will they have a team to compete for?

Right now, the Furious Five — Dylan and Natasha Estes and Seth, Gracy and Lita Woollet — are competing for the Whidbey Wildcat Wrestling Club.

The photos above, courtesy travelin’ camera clicker John Fisken, are from a recent tournament in Skagit Valley.

Both of the Estes siblings took first place, with Dylan sweeping all three of his matches.

Gracy and Lita Woollett both claimed third place in their divisions, with Seth Woollett taking fourth.
