Ball, meet McKenzie Bailey. We’re sorry for the pain you’re about to feel. (John Fisken photos)

Payton Aparicio launches a little serve she calls “The Knee Shredder.”

Madeline Strasburg goes nuclear.

Valen Trujillo puts some serious spin on her return.

Kacie Kiel, locked ‘n loaded.

Hope Lodell, smooth operator. Maybe that’s why they call her “The Surgeon.”

Lauren Rose hops to it.

It was a pretty good deal.

For the price of one Diet Coke, travelin’ photo man John Fisken delivered these volleyball photos to me, and I’m passing them on to you, the readers.

So, I guess you all basically need to get together and pool your pennies. Cause someone owes me a sweet, sweet buck.

But then again, I also got a free Coupeville Wolves t-shirt that night, courtesy Tami Aparicio and the CHS Booster Club, so I guess I came out ahead.

Maybe I should stop carping about my buck…

Anyway, you know the drill. Photos above to enjoy, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

To see many, many more pics (and possibly purchase some, which helps fund scholarships for CHS student/athletes) pop over to:

There is no freakin’ way Kacie Kiel is a senior!!

The Fab Five.

Time passes.

Monday night brought with it another Senior Night in another sport.

This time it was volleyball and the beginning of the farewell tour for a group of young women who I sort of find it hard to believe are seniors.

A mere moment ago, it seems, Kacie Kiel, Madeline Strasburg, Monica Vidoni, Hailey Hammer and McKayla Bailey hit high school and I was getting in trouble for referring to one of them (spoiler alert, it was Bailey) as a “Diaper Dandy.”

Now, I’m supposed to believe they’re almost a third of the way through their final tour of duty as Wolves.

Nope. Not buying it. I’ll just pretend they’ll be around forever, photo-bombing each other for a very long time.

Yep. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

End of discussion and … fine, you can have your Senior Night photos if it makes you feel better. Still not buying you’re seniors, though.

The Elite Eight gather for a rare group photo op.

The smiles overcame the wind.

Despite a blustery night Monday, eight Coupeville High School booters put on a brave face for the cameras as they bid adieu.

It was Senior Night, and while the Wolves fell 4-0 to state title contender Klahowya, the Elite Eight, who have played together most of their lives, went out on a high note.

They still have two regular season games to play (including a makeup game at home) and then, hopefully, a long playoff run ahead of them.

But, for one night, they faced the end of their high school soccer careers and they did it the way they do everything — with a smile.

More Homecoming goodness? Why not?!?!

“I’m a senior, Jim, not a doctor!!” Homecoming floats centered around board games, with Operation setting the pace.

Senior Aaron Wright shares a moment with his grandparents.

Madeline Strasburg and CHS tennis coach Ken Stange were ready to snap some memories.

“I’m small, but I’m sassy!” A halftime performance introduced Wolf fans to the future of CHS cheer.

Senior princesses (l to r) Julia Myers, Wynter Thorne and Kacie Kiel are just along for the ride.

Savanna Dohner cranks up the bass.

Freshman princess Abby Parker enjoys the evening.

Shame on you, Canada.

Proving the “local” newspapers have learned nothing after the debacle of last year, we now sit three full days away from what is, for a small town, a big deal.

That deal is Coupeville High School’s Homecoming celebration, which included a parade through town, halftime festivities and the best football game I may have witnessed in 24 years of covering sports on Whidbey Island.

But, other than a story on the game (Sports Editor Jim Waller is on top of his game), the Canuck-owned Whidbey papers would have you believe none of that happened.

Not a single photo can be found on either the Whidbey News-Times or Whidbey Examiner web sites, as we careen head-long into being 72 hours past the events.

During that time, we here at Coupeville Sports have already published 50+ photos.

Cause, unlike the hosers up in Moose Jaw, we understand the importance of documenting small town life for the people who live in our small town.

Maybe the “local” newspapers will catch up to the rest of us, one day. Maybe next year.

If they’re still here…

“Oh, you can try and run, but I’m still coming to take that ball away from you!!” (John Fisken photos)

“Can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Woman!!”

“You lookin’ at me? You lookin’ at me? Well, I’m the only one here. Who do you think you’re lookin’ at?!!”

“Prepare to fly, my old friend. I shall see you again … one day.”

“So, so much power. Can I wield my yellow cards without letting all that power go to my head? Or will I fully embrace the Dark Side? Questions…”

“I’ve gone to my happy place…”

“Scuse me, pardon me … don’t make me go upside your head, woman!!”

“And where do you think YOU’RE going?!?!”

Soccer is sweeping the nation.

Everywhere you turn, kids are chasing a ball around these days.

With three games on the same day at Rhododendron Park this weekend, travelin’ photo man John Fisken set up camp and clicked away, reeling off 263 (really) photos.

I’m giving you a little taste here with these eight. To see more (and possibly purchase some, helping fund college scholarships for CHS Student/athletes), click along on the links below:
