Two seconds in and already overwhelmed by the excitement. (John Fisken photos)

A line of players practices serves, except for the kid in the orange shirt, who’s debating kneecapping the paparazzi.

CMS star Chelsea Prescott donates part of her Saturday to helping the next generation.

No fear of the floor.

Droppin’ bombs from above.

“I’m just sayin’, that ball makes a run for it, I’m on it like a cheetah bringin’ down a water buffalo, sister!!”

“Get ready to taste my fastball, baby!”

Wolf legends Lauren Rose (left) and Valen Trujillo provide some star wattage to the event.

The spikers of tomorrow learned big lessons today.

New Coupeville High School volleyball coach Cory Whitmore and a bunch of his Wolf players gathered at the CHS gym Saturday to put on a skills clinic for the community’s youngest hitters.

Sponsored by the Boys and Girls Club, the event was a fast-paced, fun morning, complete with photographer.

Bouncing around Coupeville to snap pics at several locations, wanderin’ paparazzi John Fisken snagged the glossy photos above, which he was nice enough to share with us.

The net belongs to Cassidy Moody. End of story.

Chelsea Prescott keeps the play alive.

Catherine Lhamon rises up to deny the ball.

Lacy McCraw-Shirron lets rip.

CMS coach Casie Dunleavy (left) and some of her spikers spend quality bonding time together…

So many photos still out there…

As we enter that stretch between the end of fall sports and the start of winter sports, I’m going back through the mountains of pics shot during September and October, in an effort to retrieve some of those which never saw the light of day.

It wasn’t that they weren’t great shots, but they ended up being bumped at the time for one reason or another.

Now, we’re reclaiming them.

This time around, it’s Coupeville Middle School volleyball pics shot by travelin’ photo man John Fisken.

Savannah Smith soars for a tip.

Genna Wright uncorks an explosive winner.

Wright’s fan club bows to her awesomeness.

Emma Mathusek sets up her teammates.

Locked ‘n loaded. Megan Behan has eyes only for the volleyball.

“Camera man! Camera guy!! CAMERA DUDE!!! Oh good, I think he saw me.”

CMS 7th grade coach Casie Dunleavy tries out some mock outrage, though, in her heart, she knows her team is amazing.

Naps are great.

Probably not a good idea when you’re planning to cover middle school volleyball live, and sleep right through actually leaving the house to go attend said match, but it happens.

In my defense, I was up early to do work for the Help House in Oak Harbor, and thought I’d catch a few moments in the middle.

Four hours later I come back to the world, at which point the Coupeville Middle School spikers have already dismantled visiting Port Townsend … from what I was told by people who actually showed up.

Anyway, here’s some lovely photos from previous matches that we haven’t seen before, and call it even.

Me? I’m going back to bed.

Powered up in pink!!

Nicole Lester (26), the player of the match in Thursday’s JV game, charges into action.

The court rocks and the bleachers tremble when Payton Aparicio gets in a hittin’ mood.

The Wolves celebrate another in a string of successful points.

How talented is Ashley Menges at directing the offense? Even her own jaw sometimes drops in amazement at her skills.

She’s a smooth operator. Kenzi LaRue, layin’ down flawless passes just for the heck of it.

The Surgeon will see you now. Hope Lodell operates from the service stripe.

Having captured their school-best sixth win in their home finale, the Wolf JV players spread the joy.

They wore pink, and they certainly didn’t stink.

The uniforms were for breast cancer awareness night. The talent on display? That’s always there.

Thoroughly thrashing visiting Chimacum Thursday night, the Coupeville High School spikers continued their recent surge in the standings.

Along for the ride, snapping pics, was travelin’ photo man John Fisken, who provides us with the captured moments in time visible above.

Spikes on a summer day!!

Runnin’ wild on the court she’s grown up on. (John Fisken photos)

Maggie Crimmins (right) and her young apprentice take a break.

100% locked-in. Not 98%. Not 99.1%. I said 100%.

“This is our court now, ya old farts!!”

Valen Trujillo: “You come for the queen, you better not miss!!”

The present and future of Wolf volleyball.

Sarah Wright’s super powers come from the hugs she’s received. Now, thanks to Kayla Rose (left), Wright is all super-charged.

Ashley Menges (left) and Ashlie Shank give their thumbs-up to super-powered hugs.

Super-powered hugs and then she collects all the loose balls? Kayla Rose, the real MVP.

It’s never too early to let the spikes rain down.

A new high school volleyball season is still months away, but that didn’t stop Wolf players and coaches from taking the court Thursday.

They were in the CHS and CMS gyms to kick-off a three-day skills camp for younger players.

The camp, which runs through Saturday, is open to boys and girls in grades 3-8 and gives the current Wolf spikers a chance to train those who will one day follow them onto the court.

Plus, it also gives them a chance to pose for John Fisken’s camera.

So, win-win.
