There were spikes, and reunions, in the air.

Bouncing between two locations Saturday, wanderin’ camera clicker John Fisken snapped a variety of volleyball-related pics.

While there were a lot of current Coupeville athletes and coaches featured in the snaps, there was also an appearance or two by former Wolves.

Former CHS spiker guru Breanne Smedley, who now coaches at Columbia River, was in Oak Harbor for a tourney.

Meanwhile, in Coupeville, Marie Bagby and her boys Mike and Jason — all top Wolf athletes in their day — gathered in the gym to watch Marie’s niece, Chloe Gaydeski, rip off spikes for visiting Forks.

Now, if the daughter of Ron Bagby’s sister, who’s just a sophomore, were to move to Cow Town to finish her stellar three-sport prep career?

A lot more family reunions and a lot more photos. And a lot more page hits for me.

Just sayin’…

The student section was small, but vocal on a sunny Saturday.

“Whoa now. I didn’t say I could dance LIKE John Travolta. I said I could dance BETTER than John Travolta.”

They smile now, but put them on the volleyball court, and they will unleash a can of whup ass on you.

2020 is turning into a farewell tour for longtime Wolves.

On the heels of Randy King announcing his retirement as a Coupeville High School teacher, Ron and Marie Bagby are joining him in exiting the building.

The retirements of the husband/wife duo, who have both worked for the school district for decades, are included on the agenda for the next school board meeting, set for Tuesday, May 26.

Ron Bagby, who coached football, basketball, and track and field at CHS, after arriving in Cow Town from the wilds of Forks, was currently a PE teacher at the school.

Marie Bagby, née Grasser, is a graduate of Coupeville who was the school’s first big-time female basketball star, starting a legacy continued by younger sister Marlene.

Playing for the Wolves between 1976-1980, she rang up 321 points, and still sits as the #34 scorer all-time in program history.

Marie operated as the registrar for her alma mater, while all four of her children – April, Ashley, Mike, and Jason – followed her path as Wolf athletic stars and CHS grads.
