Scotlyn Helm is a star in auto racing and soccer. Now, she’s also a middle schooler. (Lindsey Helm photo)

This one comes with an asterisk.

There are three graduation/passages ceremonies in Coupeville this spring, with 12th graders having exited Saturday afternoon.

Meanwhile, 8th graders bounce from middle to high school and 5th graders move on up from the elementary school to CMS, with both of those events slated for this Wednesday.

With high school and middle school, the list of names I was given to publish are fairly complete.

With this one, featuring the elementary school kids, not so much.

There are 91(!) students making the move to 6th grade, but the parents of 27 of those children opted not to allow their offspring’s name to be released to “non-district media” when they went through the enrollment process.

So be it.

If you read this article and notice your child — a 5th grade grad — is missing, that was your decision.

Now, if you want to change your mind, as some parents did last year, contact the elementary school secretaries and let them know, and they’ll send me updates with which to tweak this story.

If not, again, so be it. You’re the parent, not me, and I respect that.

But, for now, here are the 5th grade grads we can give a moment in the spotlight to:

One thriller, one rout, two titles.

Central Whidbey U15 soccer squads stormed to wins Sunday at Fort Nugent Park in the championship game of the Matt Mikos Memorial Tournament.

The season-ending tourney is named in honor of an Oak Harbor dad who made a big impact in the Whidbey Island soccer community.

Central Whidbey’s girls, coached by Jerry Helm and Kimberly Kisch, romped to a 3-0 win over South Whidbey with Finley Helm throwing down the shutout while manning the goal.

That continued a hot streak for the girls, who have won four of their last five tourneys.

In the boys’ title game, which saw Central Whidbey clash with Oak Harbor, things came down to the furious final seconds.

With the game knotted at 2-2, Cow Town’s booters, who are coached by Scott Rudat, captured the title on a buzzer-beater goal off the toe of Lincoln Wagner.

They’re ready for their close-up, Mr. DeMille. (Julie Wheat photos)

They are the future of Coupeville hoops, but they get their first taste of the spotlight today.

The pics seen above and below, which come to us from Julie Wheat, showcase young girls and boys who hit the hardwood for the Coupeville Youth Basketball Association this winter.

Which from this group will grow up to become the next Logan Downes or Haylee Armstrong and become an All-League dynamo for the CHS Wolves?

Only time will tell.

Until then we can daydream that each and every one of these kids will hit 6-foot-9 and turn Cow Town into Title Town.

Or, at the very least, enjoy their time playing God’s Chosen Sport. That works, too.

The rain didn’t dampen their spirit.

Despite Mother Nature dumping cold rain on Saturday’s Coupeville High School football game, Wolf Spirit Team members and their Junior Cheer counterparts stayed loud ‘n proud.

The photos above and below capture two generations of Cow Town cheerleaders in action, showcasing current CHS students passing on their love of the sport to those who will follow in their footsteps.
