The bleachers are still rock hard, the fans are still fervent, and the cameras are still clicking.

It’s the circle of life, Coupeville High School basketball style.

The camera points both ways.

While most photographers follow the action on the hardwood, some flip the lens around from time to time to see what the fans are up to at the moment.

Case in point, the pics seen above and below, which capture life in the stands at the final Coupeville High School home games of 2023.

To see what the camera caught when it was pointed towards the court, pop over to:

One more chance to earn some floor burn.

A week after graduating from Coupeville High School, hoops hotshot Maddie Georges capped her prep sports career by playing in the Washington All-State Girls’ Basketball Games.

The event, held Saturday at the HUB Sports Center in Yakima, featured some of the best players in the Northwest across three games.

Georges suited up for the West squad in the 2B/1B game, while other contests pitted 1A/2A players and 3A/4A hoopsters.

Ready to rumble.

Repeatedly drilling three-balls from deep, while employing a full-court press defense into the waning moments of the game, the East came out on top 99-64 in the 2B/1B tilt.

Colfax sophomore Brynn McGaughy, the 2B state player of the year during the 2022-2023 season, was tabbed as the game’s MVP.

A six-foot-two post who has already been offered a full ride by NCAA D-I power Stanford, she was one of seven East players who are 5-10 or taller.

The West, which featured players from top teams like Neah Bay and Lummi Nation, only had two girls who topped 5-8.

Among the best of the best. 

Georges, the only West player who consistently drained her free throws in the all-star game, was one of two players hailing from the Northwest 2B/1B League.

The Wolf gunner was joined by Orcas Island sophomore Ava Ashcraft.

With her high school days behind her, Georges is off to Western Washington University in the fall.

During her time at CHS, the younger sister of Alex and Taylor Evans was a two-sport star, excelling for Wolf volleyball and basketball teams.

Georges was an All-Conference selection in both sports and joined fellow Wolf senior Alita Blouin in playing in the 1B/2B/1A All-State volleyball games.

As a basketball star, she ran the point for the Wolves, finishing as the #24 career scorer in Coupeville’s 49-year program history, despite being a pass-first player who lost a chunk of games to the pandemic.

Always looking for the smart pass, always looking to set up teammates for success.

In the days leading up to graduation, Georges received the Cliff Gillies Award, named in tribute to a longtime Executive Director of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.

That honor recognizes student/athletes who excel in scholarship, citizenship, and participation in activities.

Three Wolves, one honor

A trio for the win.

Three multi-sport stars claimed awards Monday night, with Coupeville High School seniors Maddie Georges, Alita Blouin, and Aidan Wilson receiving the Cliff Gillies Award.

That honor, handed out by schools across the state, is named for a former longtime Executive Director of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.

It recognizes student/athletes who excel in scholarship, citizenship, and participation in activities.

Georges and Blouin were team captains for Wolf volleyball and basketball teams, with the duo selected to participate in the 1B/2B/1A All-State volleyball games.

Both were First-Team All-Conference selections as well, with Blouin honored for her play as a libero and Georges as a setter.

Maddie Georges made the All-Conference team in volleyball and basketball.

When basketball season rolled around, both players lit up the bucket.

Blouin led the Wolves in scoring, singing the nets for 204 points, while Georges, who finished as the #24 career scorer in program history, was tabbed as a Second-Team All-Conference player.

Wilson opened his senior year by scoring a team-high 10 goals on the soccer pitch, notching First-Team All-Conference honors.

Aidan Wilson soars to new heights.

Wilson came back around in the spring to claim three medals at the state track and field championships.

He finished 2nd in the 800 and 5th in the triple jump, before running a leg on a 2nd place 4 x 100 relay unit which missed a state title by the blink of an eye.

The Wolf ace wrapped things up by competing in the 51st annual Dennis McDonald Multi Events State Championship this past weekend.

While there, Wilson finished 7th out of 32 competitors in a two-day, 10-event decathlon.
