One generation of players passing on lessons to the next.

Current Coupeville High School baseball players and coaches spent time Sunday with Central Whidbey Little League’s Majors team, helping cement the connection between both programs.

For the Wolves, who head into a two-game series with Mount Vernon Christian this week to end the regular season, it was a chance “to help fuel the love of the game” and “give back to the program where it all began.”

For the CWLL stars, the event gave them a window into a world they hope to fully occupy one day.

In short, a win-win for the growth and success of Coupeville baseball.

Dynamic duo jump to high school hardwood

The dynamic duo is movin’ on up.

Coupeville grads turned coaches Craig Anderson and Jon Roberts will jump from the middle school to the high school this fall, replacing Hunter Smith as boys’ basketball JV coach.

The hires are 100% official when approved by the school board.

Smith departed after last season, capping a three-year run as JV coach.

Fire academy, a move off of Whidbey Island, and marriage to fellow CHS Athlete of the Year winner Payton Aparicio conspired to reduce Brad Sherman’s coaching staff.

The “new guys” are hardly new, since both have long-established roots both in Coupeville and with the Wolf basketball program.

Both Anderson and Roberts played high school hoops at CHS back in the day, and their sons Chase and Landon, respectively, currently suit up for the Wolves.

The duo coached successful middle school basketball teams, while Roberts is also the current high school JV baseball coach.

In their day jobs, Anderson is a Captain with the Oak Harbor Fire Department and Roberts owns Cascade Custom Homes and Design.

The gym came alive.

Coupeville Middle School boys’ basketball made its home debut Tuesday and wanderin’ photographer John Fisken was on hand to collect the first images of a new season.

The photos above and below, which are a mixture of action and team pics, are just the tip of the iceberg, however.

To see everything he shot, and possibly purchase some Christmas gifts for the grandparents, pop over to:

Rebound machine Davin Houston dares you to try and take the ball away.

Mad bomber Cyrus Sparacio slices ‘n dices the defense.

Kenneth Jacobsen soars to the rafters to win the tip.

Jon Roberts is a stern, but fair, taskmaster.

Spoiler: they will get loud if necessary.

Killing me softly (with a pat o’ butter)!!

“Dang it, the ‘stache stays, Sherry! In the words of ’70s rock gods ELO … It’s a livin’ thing; It’s a terrible thing to lose; It’s a given thing; What a terrible thing to lose.” (Photos by Ema Smith)

“Was I not clear on this, sir? I’m just sayin’, you give my friend here a free 7-Up and maybe you get to keep using all your fingers. Maybe.”

When she uses that strawberry shampoo.

There’s another side to the Coupeville Booster Club’s annual Crab Feed.

Sure, the event is the biggest fundraiser of the year, and sure, all that money helps drive Wolf athletics for another year.

Community members get to mingle, and all is good and well.

Unless you’re a crab!

Than it’s The Night of a Thousand Butter Pats, an urban legend crab moms pass down to scare their unruly children at bed time.

At least I’d like to think so.

One second you’re the first crab in your whole family to go to college. The next you’re headed to the big hot tub in the sky. Life comes at you fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.

That moment when you realize the crabs didn’t volunteer.

“Get in the pot, crabs! The Strawberry Slammer has spoken!!”

“Hey there, little crab buddies, I’ll sneak you out of this joint. You can hide in my pot of butter. Of course I brought my own butter pot … does it look like this is my first time at the rodeo, skippy?”

“Pinch, pinch, lil’ crabbies. You all float down here.”

“Goodnight, sweet crab princes, and flights of angels sing thee to thy butter-encrusted rest.”
