Through three different leagues, John Fisken has been handing financial aid to hard-working Coupeville High School seniors.

The photo whiz kid is offering cash to two graduating student/athletes for a sixth year, so, if you qualify, don’t forget to apply by the April 8 cutoff.

Applications are available in the CHS counseling office.

Requirements for the scholarships:

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

Cheer counts as a sport, but just one sport. Doing fall and winter cheer doesn’t give you two sports – you would need a second sport to go along with cheer.

*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.”

And a final PS – transfer students who meet the basic requirements, but did not spend all four years at CHS, are eligible.

Bounce back to basketball with hoops hot shots

Morgan Stevens leads the charge up-court.

Hannah Davidson looks for a little help.

Flying past her defender, Anya Leavell heads in for a quick two.

Backed up by Audrianna Shaw, sophomore Ivy Leedy looks for an open teammate.

Fab frosh Kylie Van Velkinburgh hangs out with dad Dustin.

The power of the braid compels you. Lindsey Roberts easily out-leaps a rival player to win the opening tip.

Scout Smith makes it rain.

Call it spring cleaning or call it a photo dump.

Either way, I’m reaching into the pile of pics John Fisken shot this basketball season and shaking out ones I haven’t used.

A mix of varsity and JV action, they’ll remind you of a time when you could actually walk out your door and make it down to the CHS gym.

You know, back before we entered a new ice age and all life came to a screeching halt.

One last show before they go

Wolves (l to r) Ashleigh Battaglia, Mica Shipley, and Emily Fiedler take to the skies.

Fiedler stands tall in the spotlight.

The Wolves work the sidelines, while volleyball player Lucy Sandahl (far left, in the stands) is shocked to hear about the snow forecast.

Shipley, who’s been doing competition cheer since she was a little girl, is an old pro at this kind of thing.

Battaglia and Fiedler get an airborne workout.

They got a well-deserved curtain call.

Days after claiming 3rd place at state, while competing for the first time since 2011, the Coupeville High School cheer squad returned to its own gym Wednesday night.

With snow and ice throwing the district basketball playoffs into disarray, CHS unexpectedly found itself hosting a home game, which gave the Wolf cheerleaders a chance to work the sidelines one more time.

In a nice bit of coincidence, the visiting team was Sultan, which brought its own cheerleaders along.

The Turk cheer squad claimed the 1A state title in Coupeville’s class, Game Day Small, and the coaches from the two North Sound Conference schools became new best friends during the big meet.

Keeping that friendship going, the two cheer squads joined together at halftime Wednesday to pull off a joint performance.

A final bucket, a final click

Many fans, many emotions.

Ema Smith evades a Turk defender.

JV basketball stars (l to r) Abby Mulholland, Morgan Stevens, and Lily Leedy cheer on their varsity teammates.

Fab frosh Izzy Wells caps the game with a sweet bank shot for two.

Wolves (l to r) Emma Mathusek, Lucy Sandahl, and Kylie Chernikoff catch up with coaches Cory Whitmore (in red) and Chris Smith.

Lindsey Roberts gets out of town in a hurry.

Paul and Marilyn Messner’s three daughters, possibly up to shenanigans.

No buckets, no how. Defensive dynamo Tia Wurzrainer shuts down another would-be scorer.

One last, unexpected chance to play in front of their fans and personal photographer.

That’s what the Coupeville High School girls basketball team got Wednesday, when snow and ice changed the schedule, giving the Wolves a home playoff game.

On the floor, CHS cruised to a 48-37 win over Sultan.

Meanwhile, on the sideline, riding high on the power of a donated Kit-Kat bar, wanderin’ paparazzi John Fisken clicked away, capturing on and off court action.

The photos above are courtesy him, but are just a taste of what he shot.

Jonathan Partida gets his game face on.

Sage Downes flies high to deny a rival.

Tucker Hall (11) and Grady Rickner (13) trap a ball-handler.

It’s not spring, but it’s cleaning time.

As we wait for the snow and ice to recede enough for the girls basketball playoffs to begin, here’s a collection of boys basketball pics I never got around to using during the regular season.

If nothing else, it’ll give you an idea of what a basketball game looks like, should the weather ever let another one be played this winter.
