It’s a conundrum.

The name of the blog is Coupeville Sports, and that hasn’t changed since it debuted back in August, 2012.

Which would imply not a whole lot of the 9,004 articles previously published on here have focused on athletes wearing the uniforms of Oak Harbor or South Whidbey High School.

But … I am a sucker for free photos, and the page hits those pics generate.

So, here we go.

The pics, shot by John Fisken, come from Thursday’s varsity non-conference tilt between the Wildcat and Falcon girls basketball teams, a game won 46-35 by Oak Harbor.

Having already beaten Coupeville, the ‘Cat girls are the unofficial Whidbey Island champs for the 2021-2022 season.

They join Coupeville’s boys, who swept Oak Harbor and South Whidbey to rule the hardwood.

To see more of what Fisken shot Thursday, pop over to:

If you shoot, he will shoot.

Put on a basketball game or two, and it’s likely John Fisken will wander into your gym, accompanied by his many cameras.

Tuesday night featured the Coupeville High School girls teams in action against visiting Sedro-Woolley, and the photos above and below capture the action from varsity and JV rumbles.

To see everything Fisken shot, and ponder buying some early Christmas gifts for Grandma Barb in Boise, pop over to:

Their excitement can’t be denied.

The Coupeville High School winter cheer squad continues to bring the noise and the spirit each game, even as its numbers fluctuate due to Covid protocols.

Wanderin’ photo clicker John Fisken captured the Wolves in action during a recent home game, and the pics above and below are courtesy him.

It’s a matchup which doesn’t happen often enough.

With Oak Harbor High School being a 3A institution, and Coupeville repping the much smaller 2B classification, the next-door neighbors rarely face off.

Saturday was one of those rare opportunities however, as the Wildcats welcomed the Wolves to Oak Town for a girls basketball rumble.

Not having to travel very far from his house, wanderin’ photographer John Fisken was on scene, and the pics seen above and below are courtesy him.

To see everything he shot — including Senior Night festivities for the OHHS cheerleaders — you can pop over to the links below.

Fan-tastic.

With both varsity Coupeville High School basketball teams posting winning records this season — including the Wolf boys being a flawless 11-0 — the stands have been packed.

Even living in the Age of Coronavirus, with mask requirements in place, locals and off-Islanders alike have shown up for games.

When he’s not clicking action pics, wanderin’ photographer John Fisken often swings his camera towards the stands, as you can see in the photos above and below.
