Halpin keeps family cheer tradition alive!!

Halpin bonds with Wolf vet Robin Cedillo.

She’s young, but already a veteran.

While Coupeville High School freshman Gaby Halpin will be in her first year as a member of the Wolf cheer squad, she’s been doing this for quite some time.

“I started in grade school, like a little league cheer-leading thing,” she said.

A multi-sport threat (Halpin played volleyball in middle school and is interested in running track in the spring), she was introduced to the cheer life by her family.

“Everyone on my mom’s side of the family did cheer, so I was interested in it,” Halpin said.

A dancer since age three who loves history and hanging out (“I’m always listening to music, usually chillin’ with friends”), she enjoys cheer for the way it combines athleticism with spirit.

“Cause it’s dancing and yelling and supporting our school, which is really fun,” Halpin said. “It’s definitely a sport. It’s way more difficult then it looks.

“It takes long hours of practice and a lot of strength to throw someone up in the air!”

It’s camping season.

Both the Coupeville High School boys’ and girls’ basketball teams have hit camps, and now the Wolf cheerleaders are off to fine-tune their skill set.

The destination?

The Great Wolf Lodge in Centralia for a UCA cheer camp.

Wolves going to a lodge named after them, where they will likely out-howl and out-stunt everyone in sight?

It’s their (cheer) destiny.

Rockin’ Robin lights up the universe!!

Rockin' Robin Cedillo (John Fisken photo)

Strike a pose.

Strike a pose.

Queen of the fish.

Queen of the fish.

Robin Cedillo is like a force of nature.

A really, really, super-friendly, outgoing, sunshine-shooting-out-of-every-pore force of nature, at that.

The Coupeville High School sophomore, who celebrates a birthday today, is an athlete, a softball-playin’, cheer team-screamin’ whirlwind, but what truly sets her apart from most every other athlete is her happiness.

She is a walking, talking, frequently-giggling, epic smile come to life and she makes everyone around her, from family to teammates, at least 17% more joyful on a daily basis.

Seeing her interact with her little niece Charlie, who came unglued and almost stormed the field every time Auntie Robin did something on the softball diamond, would have melted even the Grinch’s heart.

There is a lot to be said for being so full of life, and seeing Robin bop by can’t help but make everyone’s day better.

I hope her birthday is as phenomenal as possible, cause she deserves to be celebrated.

You, rockin’ Robin, are freakin’ awesome, and I hope people tell you that every single day.

May your radiant smile never, ever dim, even for a second.

“These girls played their hearts out!!”

The postseason trek ended prematurely this season, but it still had its moments.

While the Coupeville High School softball squad couldn’t make it back to state — falling 6-2 to Bellevue Christian at districts Friday — the Wolves had a successful run with a very young roster.

With four freshmen (Katrina McGranahan, Lauren Rose, Hope Lodell and Kyla Briscoe) starting on a daily basis, CHS finished 7-12 overall, 5-4 in Olympic League play.

They won at least one game from each of their league rivals, including a 22-21 win over Chimacum, a team that is state-bound.

The Cowboys finished second at districts to earn that slot, losing to champ Seattle Christian 12-2 before rebounding to knock off Bellevue Christian 14-8 in the second-place game.

Coupeville missed out on a fourth meeting with Chimacum thanks to some strong defense from Bellevue Christian.

Facing off with their non-conference foe for the third time this season, the Wolves smashed the ball, but often right at a glove.

“Almost everyone hit the ball during the game,” said Wolf coach Deanna Rafferty. “It was just unfortunately right where their defense was.”

McGranahan smacked a pair of singles and sophomore Robin Cedillo collected a base knock of her own to pace the Wolf attack.

Coupeville loaded the bags in the seventh, but its hopes of a come-from-behind walk-off win, something it pulled off twice this season, fell short when Bellevue’s shortstop made a clutch diving catch to seal her team’s win.

Pitching at the high school level for the final time, four-year hurler McKayla Bailey whiffed six, while Lodell made a pair of sparkling catches in center.

While the season ended sooner than anticipated, Rafferty was pleased with the hustle and grit her team showed in her first year as a head coach.

“Despite a 4 and 1/2 hour bus ride these girls played their hearts out,” she said. “I’m so proud to end the way we did.”
