Everyone was making shots.

From the players on the court, to the paparazzi moving from match to match, Monday offered a smorgasbord of action.

The Coupeville High School girls tennis team was hosting, and dominating, the 1A Olympic League tourney, while John Fisken (and his camera) was documenting the goings-on.

The pics seen above come to us courtesy him.

And, when you do, remember, purchases help fund scholarships for CHS student/athletes.

No one can accuse the Coupeville netters of not swinging for the stars.

By the time the season is done, the Wolves, who rep a 2B-sized school masquerading as a 1A, will have played almost half of their matches against 2A foes.

Facing much-deeper, more battle-tested squads, Coupeville has seen its win/loss record take a bit of a hit.

But learning under fire should hopefully benefit the Wolves in league and postseason play.

Friday, CHS ran into another 2A buzz-saw, falling 6-1 to host Olympic in Bremerton, but the Wolves came away with one huge bright spot at #1 doubles.

Seniors Payton Aparicio and Sage Renninger continued their stellar run, picking apart their big school rivals for a quick, straight-sets win.

“They’ve found a new, higher level,” said Coupeville coach Ken Stange.

The Wolves, 4-6 overall, have a key week coming up.

For one, they play only 1A schools, and two of the matches will be against Olympic League foes.

CHS, which is 2-0 in conference action, travels to Chimacum (2-1) Tuesday, then after a non-conference home match with South Whidbey the next day, ambles to Silverdale Thursday.

The finale to the week pits the Wolves against Klahowya (0-3) for a match-and-a-half.

The two teams need to finish the final three bouts from a rain-delayed match (the team score is tied 2-2), then play their regularly-scheduled match.

1st Singles — Genna Wright lost to Marissa Nemeth 6-0, 6-0

Emily Fiedler gets limbered up before heading into battle.

   Wolf seniors strike a pose. Back, l to r, are Maggie Crimmins, Heather Nastali, Claire Mietus, Payton Aparicio and Sage Renninger, while Kameryn St Onge holds down the front.

Freshman Jaimee Masters is ready to try a new sport.

Sixteen strong and…

ready to kick some fanny.

Time to swing into action.

With the first match just a week away, the Coupeville High School girls tennis team took a moment out of practice Monday to let wanderin’ photo man John Fisken snap some glossies.

The pics above are courtesy him.

And that first match?

It’s Mar. 12, it’s at home, the foe is Port Angeles and things kick off at 3:15 PM on the CHS courts.

So, now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

The venue may be changing, but the attitude is not.

As Coupeville High School cheerleaders depart the football field and head inside for basketball season, one thing will remain consistent — their larger-than-life school spirit.

Wolf coaches Emily Stevens and Amanda Jones are currently working with a roster which goes 12 deep, though that may change.

For the moment, this is who looks like they will be in uniform for Coupeville when hoops action tips off at the end of the month:

Ashleigh Battaglia
Julie Bucio
Kayla Caudle
Coral Caveness
Maggie Crimmins
Gaby Halpin
Jesse Hester
Ja’Tarya Hoskins
Isabel Hucke
Claire Mietus
Heather Nastali
Mica Shipley

Before every new high school sports season begins, photo day is a time-honored ritual.

John Fisken hoists his camera and madly clicks away, getting a pic of every girl and boy who will be in uniform for the Wolves — or at least every one who remembers to show up for photo day.

Then he’s nice enough to send them my way.

As the season progresses, I sprinkle those portraits across the top of numerous stories.

But, without fail, especially during a busy season like fall, with volleyball, tennis, soccer, cheer and football, there will be some which haven’t seen the light of day.

So, today, I offer up a mixture of portraits, which, for whatever reason, haven’t had their moment in the spotlight until now.

Sort of spring cleaning, just in late fall.
