You're making CHS football coach Tony Maggio lose his mind...

You’re making CHS football coach Tony Maggio lose his mind…

OK, you’ve got another 23 days. Let’s do this thing.

When local photographer John Fisken shoots pics for cascadeathletics.com, a percentage of the sales goes to fund college scholarships.

It’s worked for several years in Oak Harbor.

But here in Coupeville, we’re having a bit of trouble with the concept.

Thanks to a snafu with Coupeville High School, it wasn’t properly promoted, but it’s out there and the deadline for applying has been pushed back a month to May 1.

So listen up this time.

If you want a crack at the $600 or so in the pot — may be more by the time the scholarship(s) are given — get thyself to the CHS counseling office, get an application and get it filled out.

Requirements:

*Must have participated in at least two sports for all four years of high school

*Must have a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA

*Must NOT be getting any type of athletic scholarship from any college

*Must submit a 500 word essay, “How Sports Made Me A Better Person”

Do it, or else I’m claiming the money for a post-season pizza party…

The rain stayed away just long enough Friday to be replaced by sweet, sweet Langley tears.

With the Coupeville High School softball squad rallying for a 9-5 victory over their Island rivals, all was set right in the sporting universe.

On hand to snap a few photos (some of which show the beginning of rain drops) was travelin’ photo whiz kid John Fisken.

To see more of his work — and possibly purchase some, thereby helping to fund college scholarships for CHS student athletes — head over to the link below.

P.S. — Use the coupon code EB59204962 to buy pics before April 19 and you’ll nab a 15% discount.

Now THAT was Coupeville baseball weather.

After a couple of sunny, calm days on the prairie, Thursday’s JV game against visiting Archbishop Thomas Murphy was played in weather far more typical of early April.

It was cold. It was windy. It was unpleasant.

But hey, it didn’t rain…

That last factor helped travelin’ photo man John Fisken, who, when he wasn’t filching donuts from the working press, snapped a few photos for your perusal.

To see more, head to the link below, where any purchases go towards helping fund college scholarships for CHS student athletes.

Use the coupon code EB59114962 and buy before April 18 and you’ll get 15% off, as well.

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but McKayla Bailey kinda, sorta likes being photographed.

Oh, it’s true.

The Coupeville High School junior is the reigning Photo Bomb Queen of 27 states, including her home state of Washington, and is on her way to the National Photo-Posing Hall of Fame some day.

It’s a real place. Or will be, if the irrepressible one has her way.

Capturing Coupeville’s marquee photo subject (and a few others) Wednesday was travelin’ photo man John Fisken.

To see more of his work (and a lot more action shots from both CHS softball and baseball games) head over to the links below.

Like what you see? Perhaps consider purchasing a few, content in the knowledge that a percentage of all sales goes to fund college scholarships for CHS student athletes.

Yes, I know … this blog is called Coupeville Sports.

Still, sometimes, you have to look over at the visiting team and simply say, “Well played, ladies. That … that is freakin’ genius.”

Today is one of those days.

I give you Granite Falls softball. The most creative (and only undefeated) team in the Cascade Conference.
