Samantha Martin keeps both eyes on the ball, I think. She is wearing sunglasses, so who knows for sure?

You play tennis in warm weather? How quaint.

This is spring on Whidbey, and even when the sun does come out, the thermometer will be lucky to be scraping 55. The winds? Ye-gads…

But, being of tougher material than the fancy lads and ladies of places like Florida and So Cal, the Coupeville High School girl netters kicked off their season Monday with a 4-3 win over visiting Port Townsend/Chimacum.

And, if the rain holds off, they’ll be right back at it today with a 3:30 match against Friday Harbor.

On hand Monday to catch the weather-ready fashion choices and ferocious forehands on display was traveling photo man John Fisken.

Spring has sprung.

The third, and final, sports season of the 2013-2014 school year went live Saturday, as the Coupeville High School boys’ soccer squad kicked off with a home jamboree against South Whidbey and Lake Stevens.

On hand to document the doings was traveling photo man John Fisken.

Go to enough Coupeville High School/Middle School/community sports events, and you’re sure to see John Fisken (and his camera) hanging around.

The photo whiz snaps away and sells his work on cascadeathletics.com. And, is nice enough to send a bunch of the pics my way, as we jointly tell the Canadian-owned “local” newspapers where they can shove it.

A percentage of the sales from his photos goes to fund scholarships for local student athletes.

He’s done it for Oak Harbor High School in years past and he’s launching his inaugural award(s) for CHS this spring.

Which is why it’s important to note that the deadline for applications — April 1 — fast approaches.

Wolf seniors can obtain an application from the CHS counseling office. The top five applicants will be interviewed.

Requirements for the scholarships (the pot is pushing $500, and could go higher with spring sports, so there will likely be two awards):

*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”

You thought just cause the season was over, we had no more photos to run?

You thought wrong, skippy.

Bask in some more snaps courtesy traveling photo man John Fisken, and then, and then only, are we done with the Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball season.

"Cupcakes?!?!? Did you say cupcakes?!?!?!?!"

“Cupcakes?!?!? Did you say cupcakes?!?!?!?!”

"Don't let my dad hear about the cupcakes or..."

“Don’t let my dad hear about the cupcakes or…”

Too late.

Too late.

I’m just going to say it — Lauren Rose and Kyla Briscoe may be the best people in the entire world.

What? You think just because they gave me a free cupcake at Monday’s Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball home finale, I would say something like that?

I am offended, sir! Deeply offended that you would think I could be bought for chocolate cake and frosting and … yeah, I’m busy right now.

Go away. Take your petty accusations elsewhere, so that I might focus on my cupcake.

Lauren and Kyla. Best people ever. End of story.
