The pics above and below, which come to us from the camera of Wolf legend Julie Wheat, take us back a couple of weeks to when 100+ Coupeville Elementary School students participated in a junior cheer performance at halftime of a CHS football game.

They were working 9 to 5, all 105 of them.

Friday night’s Coupeville High School football game featured a halftime performance from its junior cheerleaders, with current and former Wolf spirit leaders guiding the next generation in a tribute to Dolly Parton.

The field was packed with K-5 students, who had to wait out a long first half but, for once, didn’t deal with any prairie wind or rain at an October game.

Registration for Coupeville Junior Cheer, aimed at students in K-5, is open now.

And your window is a narrow one, closing at 11 PM on September 9, or earlier if the student count hits 100.

Cost is $70 per cheerleader, or $60 for yell leader positions for boys, with all money going to help fund scholarships awarded by the Spirit of Cheer Booster Club to graduating CHS seniors.

Each junior cheerleader will get a sweatshirt and a new set of pre-fluffed pink poms in honor of breast cancer awareness month, while the yell leaders snag a sweatshirt and megaphone.

Practices will be held on Thursdays beginning September 10, with a halftime performance during Coupeville’s home game against Friday Harbor October 2.

“We are … BIG RED!!”

Following in the footsteps of their heroes, Coupeville’s Junior Cheer participants — all 100 or so of them — lit up Mickey Clark Field last Saturday.

If history plays out as before, many of these young athletes will stick with the sport and one day join the CHS spirit squad themselves, keeping the circle of cheer going on and on.
