The Wolves were ready for their closeup.

A day after leading the way during Coupeville’s rout of La Conner, the CHS cheerleaders trekked to Seattle to be part of Spirit Day at the University of Washington.

The Wolves were part of a massive 450-cheerleader halftime performance, and were on the sidelines when the nationally ranked Huskies scored a touchdown against Cal.

That earned Coupeville’s squad an appearance on ESPN.

Live, on your TV.

Friday night, the current Wolf cheerleaders worked with young kids from their hometown. Saturday, they got to recreate the experience, while shifting roles.

“It’s basically junior cheer for high school,” CHS coach Jennifer Morrell said with a laugh.

Along with the halftime show, the event also included a pep rally by the U-Dub spirit team and the band before kickoff.

Coupeville cheer was repped by Gabe Reed, Jayden Cooks, Layla Heo, Hayley Thomas, Emma Garcia, Bella Karr, Isabella Schooley, Kassidy Upchurch, Pamela Morrell, Miles Gerber, Rafa Silva De Campos Conceicao, and Jacob Schooley.

The spirit stayed strong.

Less than 24 hours after cheering at their own football game, the Coupeville High School cheer squad spent Saturday at the University of Washington, taking part in its annual Spirit Day.

The Wolves, who were running through their planned performance as fans trickled in to Mickey Clark Field Friday night, joined up with cheer squads from across the state.

Working with U-Dub cheerleaders, they performed during the Huskies 41-3 dismantling of Portland State.

Two rules.

One, cheerleaders like to take photos, and two, photos of cheerleaders gets a lot of page hits.

So we’re going back to the well for a second time today, with more pics featuring the Coupeville High School cheer squad as it spent the day taking part in Spirit Day at the University of Washington.

And a big thank you to all the Wolf cheerleaders and coaches who sent me photos today.

You are all the real MVPs.
