Every practice counts.
As a new fall sports season nears — Coupeville High School football opens at home Sept. 6 against Port Townsend, before girls soccer hosts Meridian the next day — all the Wolves are hard at work.
Today, the camera swings in the direction of the CHS cheer squad, thanks to their willingness to post videos on Instagram.

Basketball is officially back.
The sounds of shoes squeaking and leather smacking against the hard-wood echoes across the prairie, interrupted every so often by the soft click-click of wandering cameraman John Fisken.
The photos above, which are courtesy him, come from the first days of practice, as the CHS hoops squads get back at it.
Coupeville’s girls team, coached by David and Amy King, is a two-time defending 1A Olympic League champ coming off its first trip to the state tourney in a decade.
The boys, under the guidance of Anthony Smith and Dustin Van Velkinburgh, won nine games in 2015-2016, their best showing since 2011.
The days to come will tell the tale of how Coupeville will replace departed legends such as Makana Stone and Wiley Hesselgrave, and who will pick up the mantle.
For now, bask in the first photos and the promise of a new season.

Ema Smith: “Guys! Guyyyyssss!!!! Stop tryin’ to hit me in the freakin’ face, you psychos!!”
The start of a new season brings a smile to Wolf goalie Lauren Grove’s face.
They can wander, but the beautiful game always calls them home.
As summer winds down, the Coupeville High School booters are back it, prepping for a new season and another run at Klahowya.
Coming off of back-to-back second-place finishes in the 1A Olympic League, the young ‘n hungry Wolves are eyeing the top prize this season.
To get there, they’ll have to put in work, which is why they were toiling away under the sunshine Wednesday, when wanderin’ paparazzi John Fisken strolled by, camera in hand.

Put in the work now, win later.
That’s the goal for Coupeville High School’s fall sports programs, which all put in practice time Monday.
Wandering camera clicker John Fisken was able to nab three of the five Wolf teams in action, netting volleyball, football and cheer.
Boys tennis and girls soccer were also scheduled to make their practice debuts Monday, and we’ll try and nab some photos of those squads in the coming days.
Until then, a picturesque look at some of the Wolves who will light up the scoreboard this season.

Ja’Tarya Hoskins, perhaps dreaming of those fading summer days when she could still sleep in.
Senior Kiara Burdge provides veteran experience.
Tell Mckenzie Meyer cheer is not a sport (something I would NEVER do), and she will break you in half.
Strong with spirit, they are.
No rest for the cheer warriors.
Coupeville High School cheerleaders were hard at work Wednesday morning, fine-tuning their routines in advance of the start of a new football season.
The Wolves will take to the sidelines for the first time Sept. 3, when CHS hosts South Whidbey in the Battle for The Bucket.
By then, Coupeville’s loudest ‘n proudest will be a well-oiled machine, honed to a razor edge by coach Cheridan Eck.
Falcon fans will never know what hit ’em.
