It’s still really early.

The state track and field championships are a solid two months away, and Coupeville High School is scheduled to appear in 10 more meets between now and then.

But … if the season ended today, the Wolves would have a new state champ.

That’s because, as of Feb. 20, sophomore Lyla Stuurmans is the fastest 2B girl in the 400.

“The Franchise” leads an impressive list of Wolves currently ranked in the Top 10 among all athletes in Coupeville’s classification.

Early or not, give them their props for what they’ve accomplished through the first two meets of the season.

It’s a sisterhood, 241 players strong.

The modern era of Coupeville High School girls’ basketball launched in 1974, in the wake of Title IX, and Wolf players have been scoring buckets for 49 seasons now.

We still don’t have scoring stats for that first CHS team, since the Whidbey News-Times flat-out didn’t cover their season.

But other than that, the effort to track down every last point scored by a varsity Wolf girl has been mostly successful.

There’s still a small question about a couple of games in the early-to-mid 2000’s (justice for Brittany Black!), but overall, we’re feeling pretty good about things.

With Wednesday’s playoff loss to La Conner, five Coupeville seniors put a stamp on their prep careers, with all five having cracked triple-digit scoring.

Maddie Georges, a four-year varsity vet, exits as the #24 all-time scorer — even while having lost games to the pandemic.

Then there’s Alita Blouin, who averaged almost 10 points a game in the 23 contests where she avoided injuries and got to stay on the floor.

Carolyn Lhamon, Gwen Gustafson, and Ryanne Knoblich also topped 100 points, with the latter two tying with exactly 122 career points apiece.

Looking forward to the 2023-2024 season, which (red alert, Willie Smith! red alert, Willie Smith!!!) will be the program’s 50th, there are six possible returnees who have already scored at the varsity level.

Lyla Stuurmans, currently a sophomore, tops that pack with 130 points, which puts her #89 with two seasons still ahead of her.

She would have to make quite the jump to catch sweet-shooting gunner Brianne King at the top of the list, but is only 101 points from cracking the top 50.

A little further down, fellow super sophomore Katie Marti lurks with 58 points and counting.

As she becomes a bigger part of the team’s offense, could she race past mom Christi Messner (125), Aunt Aimee Bishop (168), cousin Breeanna Messner (235), or Aunt Judy Marti (545)?

Only time, and the unpredictable bounce of ball on hardwood, will tell.

For now, time for all Coupeville girls hoops players, past, present, and future, to gaze upon the updated list as it sits mid-day Feb. 16, 2023.

We’re talking 36,869 points and counting.

Never too late for photos.

Volleyball season ended back in November, but some new glossy pics just popped up, so we’re returning to the land of spikes and sets for a moment.

In the words of Lost, one of my three favorite TV shows all-time — Twin Peaks and The X-Files complete the trinity — “We have to go back, Kate!”

What do you mean your name isn’t Kate?

It is in this scenario…

Grey Peabody comes crashing through.

Jill Prince gets some love.

Wolf spiker guru Cory Whitmore imparts wisdom.

Issabel Johnson drops a haymaker.

Madison McMillan (left) and Mia Farris pass in the night.

Lyla Stuurmans stands tall against state champ La Conner.

Taylor Brotemarkle (in black) catches some air during a celebration.

Ugly sweaters to group reunions, there was something for everyone.

With the holiday season in full gear, Coupeville High School’s varsity basketball teams whacked visiting Crescent Wednesday night, while wanderin’ camera clicker John Fisken worked the sidelines.

The off-court pics above and below are courtesy him.

To see action shots from the games, and possibly make some Christmas purchases for Uncle Rollo and Aunt Ronette in Reykjavik, pop over to:

Lyla “The Franchise” Stuurmans hangs out with mom Sarah.

Now they’re old school. CHS grads (l to r) Logan Martin, Hawthorne Wolfe, Audrianna Shaw, and Kylie Van Velkinburgh catch up.

Fred and Susan Farris keep an eye on daughter Mia as she wrecks folks out on the hardwood.

Even retired, Mia Littlejohn is good for a quick 20 points if necessary.

Wolf Moms Corinn Parker (sweater) and Morgan White keep a watchful eye on the Wrecking Crew, AKA the Sherman boys.

The student section, ready to go crazy.

The very talented future of Wolf athletics.

Their sweater game is on point.

Crowd work is an underrated art.

Get yourself a photographer who can capture fans and players in the moments between the action, going below the surface to capture that inner light, and you’ve got yourself a keeper.

Like Bailey Thule, who delivers the portraits seen above and below.
