Smiles all around.

As we continue to work our way through the backlog of fall sports pics, today’s collection, shot by Jackie Saia and John Fisken, captures a mix of grins, big and small.

Am I reaching a bit?

Maybe, but better this than a medley of frowns.

The many moods of Jada Heaton

Jada Heaton is the best of what high school sports can be.

There are others, both in Coupeville and in far-flung locales, who approach their seasons with joy, happiness, and utter delight.

But the Wolf junior is arguably the best at what she does, which is to bring the whole freakin’ sun with her into the gym and onto the diamond.

I hope that I’m not putting too much pressure on her or embarrassing her with the spotlight.

But dang it, Jada deserves all the praise, because her sheer joy at getting to be a prep athlete is infectious and a great testament to how she has been raised.

Every town needs a Jada, and Coupeville is lucky to have her be ours.

The smile never fades.

Sylvia Arnold retired last season after 20 years as Coupeville High School cheer coach, but the mega-watt grin that lit up the football field is still on display.

Swinging by a recent Wolf basketball game, she bestowed the smile o’ approval on a number of people, and lurking photo man John Fisken was there to capture the moments.

Bask in the afterglow.
