The future of Wolf hoops is here, and it’s already rampaging on the hardwood.

Balanced scoring and a killer third quarter equals victory.

At least it did Saturday for the Coupeville 8th grade SWISH girls basketball squad, which bounced Mount Vernon Christian 26-18 in its season-opener.

Busting open a tied game, the Wolves used a 9-2 run in the third, with five players scoring, to claim the victory.

The big shot came from Lauren Marrs, who knocked down a three-ball, while Gwen Gustafson and Brionna Blouin added buckets of their own.

Savina Wells and Maddie Georges each slipped a free throw through the net to round out Coupeville’s third-quarter outburst.

Georges had the hot hand early, hitting a pair of first-quarter buckets as the Wolves went to the first break up 8-7.

After MVC knotted things at 12-12 at the half, Coupeville responded in grand fashion in the third, than held on behind the play of Carolyn Lhamon in a see-saw fourth quarter.

Lhamon led the Wolves with six points and 14 rebounds, while Georges (5), Brionna Blouin (4), Marrs (3), Alita Blouin (3), Hayley Fielder (2), Gustafson (2), and Wells (1) all put points on the board.

Ryanne Knoblich was a terror on defense for Coupeville, and Wells, who is just a 6th grader, snagged nine boards.

The final batch.

At the start of the fall sports season, candid camera clicker John Fisken shot portraits of virtually every Coupeville High School athlete.

While a few Wolves were missing on their photo day, he managed to capture a solid 98.6% of those who turned out for soccer, cheer, cross country, tennis, volleyball and football.

And, over the course of the season, I managed to run just about every one of the portraits he sent me.

Today’s group, consisting of four cheerleaders, four spikers and one gridiron warrior, brings my mission to an end.

So with that, it’s on to winter, where, with just basketball, both of our jobs will take a lot less time and effort.

We think…

Coupeville boys (l to r) TJ Rickner, Kyle Burnett, Uriah Kastner, Sam Wynn and Danny Conlisk wait at the starting line.

Burnett slashes down the trail.

It’s high noon in the photo pit, as Dawnelle Conlisk comes out firing.

CHS coach Natasha Bamberger, a state champ in ’85, watches proudly as a new generation reignites the Wolf cross country program.

Conlisk, who trained and traveled with South Whidbey in recent years, ends his senior season as captain of a complete Coupeville team.

The storied past, vibrant present and bright future of Coupeville cross country, all wrapped into one.

The red and black is back (on the trail).

Coupeville’s reborn cross country program, resurrected after a 20+ year absence, went eight runners strong in its first go-around.

Six of those Wolves were on the line Saturday in South Whidbey for the bi-district meet, and wanderin’ camera clicker John Fisken was there to document things.

It’s not true futbol, maybe, but CHS soccer sensations Genna Wright (left) and Tia Wurzrainer are still fans.

Those shoes, though. Once you see them, you can’t look away.

Two days before she and her volleyball teammates head to districts, Zoe Trujillo comes out to support her classmates.

Scout Smith (left) and Maya Toomey-Stout return fire.

Izzy Wells (left), always ready to shred.

Ema Smith (left) and Ashley Menges are ready for their close-up. Superintendent Steve King may not have gotten the memo, though.

Turn the camera and there’s a whole different world at play.

While the gridiron was awash with football action Thursday, life in the stands (and the concession booth) offered its own vibrant swirl of tales.

Wanderin’ paparazzi John Fisken snapped away, documenting life with the support crew, from fans to band members to hot dog sellers to fellow photographers, all united by being caught in the camera’s eye.

“Let’s dance!”

Shane Losey scrambles for yardage against a tough Granite Falls defense.

“We have a LOT of little yellow penalty flags, and we are not afraid to use them!!”

Even a person who is pure in heart and says their prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright…

Reunion time for (left to right) Chris Battaglia, Hunter Downes, Axel Partida and Gavin Knoblich.

The schedule change worked out nicely.

With the final Coupeville High School football game moved up from Friday to Thursday at the last second, it gave wanderin’ camera clicker John Fisken a rare chance to shoot Wolf gridiron action.

As the father of an Oak Harbor senior lineman, he’s normally camped out at Wildcat games on Friday nights.

But this time, as the Wolves clashed with Granite Falls, Fisken was front and center, working the sidelines and madly clicking away.
