The Wolves are on the prowl, conquering one soccer pitch after another.

Four young Coupeville booters were shining brightly in Tukwila alongside their teammates with Deception FC.

Sparked by Lucy Youderian, Elaina Grose, Scotlyn Helm, and Lilly Hestbeck, the GU11 squad wrapped up play Monday at the Surf Invitational in Tukwila with a second-place finish in its class.

Coming off stellar play at the Rush Cup earlier this month, Deception FC received a special invitation from the Surf Invitational director.

“I wear #1, because I am #1, skippy!”

Two Whidbey teams made the trek off-Island, with both of them reaching the final.

Of course, the one featuring Coupeville athletes, led by coaches Will Tellez and Matthew Hutchinson, is the one which gets the biggest buzz in a blog called … Coupeville Sports.

For the other Deception FC players, it’s time to convince your parents to move to Cow Town, is all I’m sayin’…

Anyways, the trip to Tukwila was a boon for all involved, said proud Wolf Mom (and CHS girls’ soccer head coach) Kimberly Kisch.

“We were so excited to have the opportunity to compete at this skill level,” she said. “No matter the outcome, the experience was invaluable.”

Along with the games on the field, the girls also got to watch the pros at work, viewing a scrimmage between the Seattle Reign and Portland Thorns.

All your medals belong to us.

You will not pass!

Well, you might pass the ball once or twice, but you certainly won’t score on the Red Rebels.

Throwing down four straight shutouts, the U10 girls’ soccer squad, coached by Coupeville High School pitch guru Kimberly Kisch, rampaged to a tourney title this weekend.

The event was the 3rd annual Matt Mikos Memorial Tournament, hosted by the North Whidbey Soccer Club.

With tons of teams and multiple titles in play, action was hopping, but the spotlight, at least for the moment, falls on the pride of the prairie.

Coupeville’s young booters, sponsored by Callen’s Restaurant, are coming for all your trophies.

All of them, I said.

Pride of the prairie.

She’s the terror of taekwondo town.

Coupeville Elementary School multi-sport star Scotlyn Helm continues to set the sports world ablaze.

When she’s not punching the pedal through the metal on the racetrack, Finley’s talented lil’ sis is busy flinging kicks and punches on the mat.

Competing with mom Lindsey at her first Class A taekwondo tournament in Eugene this weekend, Scotlyn brought home an assortment of medals.

She scored in forms, weapons, combat, and sparring.

Scotlyn gets congratulations from her trainer, who told her to “sweep the leg!”

While Scotlyn was kickin’ fanny and takin’ names, mom Lindsey was also busy.

The popular Coupeville teacher, staying on top of her game in case she has to put down any ruckuses in class, earned her own medals in combat, creative weapons, and X-Treme weapons.

Lindsey and Finley share a moment before mom goes out and lays down a whuppin’.

It was an action-packed weekend for the Helm family.

Dad Jerry, Central Whidbey’s Fire Chief, was busy revving his engine as a stock car racer at Evergreen Speedway, while mom Lindsey, Coupeville Elementary teacher extraordinaire, was off to Canada to kick some fanny.

She took daughters Finley and Scotlyn with her, and the trio brought home nine medals from a taekwondo tournament of champions in Surrey, British Columbia.

“Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!”

The tourney marked Scotlyn’s first time competing internationally, and Finley’s debut in a black belt ring.

Lindsey earned gold medals in combat sparring, X-Treme weapons, and sparring, while Scotlyn copped first-place in weapons.

Overall, the trio amassed four golds, three silvers, and two bronzes.

All your medals will be ours.

Back in the USA, Jerry, racing for the second time this season, logged his fastest lap times as a driver, ultimately finishing sixth in the main event.

Afterwards, he paid tribute to his support crew.

“Another amazing night from my pit crew, Michael Matros and Philip Brotemarkle,” Jerry Helm said.

“They knocked it out of the park once again on getting the car set up to run with the best.”
