Action! Drama! Face plants in the background! The kind of photo that sells itself.

McKayla Bailey, blinded by Bayne’s star power, or just taking a nap? She’ll never tell.

Think about the future.

Thinking about playing more than one sport this school year? Do it.

Thinking about you or your family buying photos taken by Olympic League clicker John Fisken? Do it.

Both choices can benefit you, if you’re a Coupeville High School student/athlete.

Today and in the future.

For the second year, Fisken will be awarding up to two college scholarships to Wolf seniors. And, with the money coming directly from photo sales, local fan and parent support is key.

The scholarships, which went to Breeanna Messner and Brandon Kelley in their inaugural go-round, have been renamed the Olympic League.com Scholar-Athlete Award, to reflect Coupeville bouncing into a new league.

Up to two $250 awards will be handed out. The number of scholarships and dollar amount are directly tied to photo sales.

You can find pics at the league’s website, http://www.olympicleague.com , and links to Fisken’s work are frequently posted here on Coupeville Sports.

To be eligible, Wolf seniors need to have participated in at least two sports for all four years of school.

Exceptions may be granted in cases of injury or for students who came to CHS midway through their high school careers.

Seniors also need to have a cumulative 3.0 GPA or better and submit a 500-word essay on “How Sports Made Me A Better Person.”

Applications are available in the CHS counseling center.

Breeanna Messner (John Fisken photos)

Brandon Kelley

Every time you buy a photo, you send a kid to college.

Sort of.

All school year, travelin’ photo man John Fisken has been snapping pics of Coupeville High School athletes at play, as well as middle school and community athletic events.

Many of these photo shoots have ended up here on Coupeville Sports, since he’s nice enough to donate his pics to me in exchange for me tossing up links to where folks can see more photos and possibly purchase some.

And, just as he has done in Oak Harbor for years, this year Fisken set up a deal where a percentage of the money raised by photo sales would revert back to CHS in the form of scholarships for senior student/athletes.

To be eligible, a student had to play at least two sports for all four years and the inaugural winners, announced Tuesday night at the school’s awards ceremony, were Breeanna Messner and Brandon Kelley.

Messner was a four-sport athlete during her time as a Wolf, playing volleyball, basketball and softball while also cheering during the fall.

She was a team captain and claimed several All-Cascade Conference honors along the way.

Kelley played tennis and ran track, where he was a standout hurdler and member of several CHS relay squads, where he often teamed with younger brother Lathom.

The duo received $325 apiece.

Fisken plans to continue the scholarship, so keep that in mind as you peruse his photos going forward.

The dollars you send his way can come back to help Wolf athletes, including, possibly, your own sons or daughters or nieces or nephews or grandchildren.

Circle of life and all.

People! People!! You’re leaving money on the table!!!

You’re making CHS football coach Tony Maggio lose his mind…

OK, you’ve got another 23 days. Let’s do this thing.

When local photographer John Fisken shoots pics for cascadeathletics.com, a percentage of the sales goes to fund college scholarships.

It’s worked for several years in Oak Harbor.

But here in Coupeville, we’re having a bit of trouble with the concept.

Thanks to a snafu with Coupeville High School, it wasn’t properly promoted, but it’s out there and the deadline for applying has been pushed back a month to May 1.

So listen up this time.

If you want a crack at the $600 or so in the pot — may be more by the time the scholarship(s) are given — get thyself to the CHS counseling office, get an application and get it filled out.

Requirements:

*Must have participated in at least two sports for all four years of high school

*Must have a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA

*Must NOT be getting any type of athletic scholarship from any college

*Must submit a 500 word essay, “How Sports Made Me A Better Person”

Do it, or else I’m claiming the money for a post-season pizza party…

The legends will return.

Saturday brings the annual Tom Roehl Roundball Classic back to the Coupeville High School gym, and with the arrival of the hoops fundraiser comes the return of former Wolf greats.

Sherman. Bagby. Keohane. Van Velkinburgh. Stuurmans. Sellgren.

Many of them will be there, and more, as teams of Wolf alumni (with some Oak Harbor and South Whidbey players sprinkled in cause someone has to lose) vie for the trophy while raising money to help fund scholarships for CHS students.

Action runs from 10-4 tomorrow. For more info head over to:
