Still as loud, still as proud, just warmer.

Moving inside from the gridiron to the hardwood allows the Coupeville High School cheer squad to avoid any fog, rain, and chill.

But it still offers the Wolves plenty of opportunities to get the crowd pumped up, as seen in the pics above and below.

“We are so proud of our entire squad who showed up today and gave it their all,” said CHS cheer coach Jennifer Morrell.

Competition is heating up.

As they move into winter, the Coupeville High School cheerleaders will split time between sideline work and competing at events.

Saturday brought the Wolves to Puyallup, where they earned 2nd place in the “small non-tumbling class” at the Blue Fusion Cheer Competition.

The competitive cheer season runs from November through the state meet the first weekend in February, with weekend practices going since August.

Coupeville’s squad on the blue mats includes Abbigail Bond, Alysia Burdge, Miles Gerber, Jacob Schooley, Isabella Schooley, Makenna Jonker-Chambers, Pamela Morrell, Kassidy Upchurch, Hayley Thomas, Reina Reed, and Avery Williams-Buchanan.

Jayden Cooks rounds out the roster as team manager, with Jennifer Morrell and Tara Crouch working as coaches.

In addition to fine-tuning their competitive routines, the Wolves are also working towards being able to purchase cheer mats.

With a full set of mats, which consists of nine panels, CHS could host showcases and competitions.

Anthony Ford, Crystal Cruz, Sylvia Arnold and the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Association have provided support and financial assistance to the program, and the Wolves are halfway to their goal.

The team plans to reach out to community groups and cheer fans in the near future to see if anyone else is interested in sponsoring the purchase of more mat panels.

If you can’t wait until they do, make first contact with Jennifer Morrell by emailing her at jmorrell@coupeville.k12.wa.us.

Mat or sideline, Wolf cheer loud ‘n proud

Back on the sidelines, back on the mats.

Coupeville High School cheerleaders will split their time this school year, leading crowd spirit at games, while also working for their own chance to compete.

The Wolf cheer program, which has a successful history as a competition squad, including winning a state title in 2006, finished 3rd in 2019, then went to nationals the next season.

After a couple of seasons with just a sideline team, CHS and head coach Jennifer Morrell are ramping back up, with the goal to qualify for the state cheer championships in February.

“They are working on getting confidence in front of large crowds,” she said. “And creating a competition routine, with help from Crystal Cruz, worthy of a trophy.

“We hope to improve our scores with each routine we perform,” Morrell added. “Our biggest competition is ourselves.

“Once these cheerleaders get some experience under their belts, they will be a force to be reckoned with!”

Coupeville’s cheer squad, a mix of veterans and newcomers, has been hard at work during the offseason, preparing for its dual roles.

“I am super excited about the group of students that have decided to cheer this year,” Jennifer Morrell said.

“They are dedicated, energetic and motivated.

“This group of cheerleaders has been working hard this summer in the community and at camp and I cannot wait for our fans to see what they have accomplished.”

Co-captains Makenna Jonker-Chambers and Hayley Thomas lead the pack, with Abbigail Bond, Alysia Burdge, Miles Gerber, Ember Light, Pamela Morrell, and Isabella Schooley rounding out the returning cheerleaders.

Joining them are a batch of high-flying newbies all looking to make a splash, and rain down cheers.

Tirsit Cannon, Lexis Drake, Emma Garcia, Layla Heo, Bella Karr, Mila Light, Gabe Reed, Jacob Schooley, and Kassidy Upchurch comprise that group.

Jennifer Morrell and assistant coach Tara Crouch can also rely on senior manager Jayden Cooks for assistance, while some “top-secret” students will wear the school’s Wolf mascot uniforms.
