And not a Wolf jersey in sight

John Fisken was bored, so now I have to be nice to the two high schools not in Coupeville.

While Central Whidbey’s high-flying boys basketball players were blasting Orcas Island Saturday and moving into first-place in the Northwest 2B/1B League, Whidbey’s other hoops squads squared off back at home.

In the end, 3A Oak Harbor came away with the non-conference win in Langley, bouncing 1A South Whidbey 60-41.

With the win, the Wildcats improve to 2-7, while the Falcons slip to 3-4.

Coupeville, in case you weren’t aware, is 6-3, but won’t get a chance to play either of its two next-door neighbors as it’s playing a league-only schedule this year.

The photos above and below are courtesy Fisken, and I never say no to the offer of pics, so here you go.

To see everything he snapped, and perhaps buy some presents for the family, pop over to:

Killer shoes, killer game.

Fly, Falcons, fly (really, truly)

The Falcons on Coupeville Sports?????

It’s true, we’re crossing Island lines for a day, highlighting South Whidbey High School basketball, thanks to the camera work of ever-wanderin’ photo whiz kid John Fisken.

His pics showcase the Falcons as they face off with Eastside Prep in a Saturday doubleheader.

I can tell you the SWHS girls won 50-16, raising their record to 1-2 on the season, while the S-Dub boys fell 76-53 to go to 0-2.

Want more than that? Convince the local newspapers which cover that region to get on their game.

Or, convince your parents to let you transfer to Coupeville — just imagine how much coverage you’d get then.

Just sayin’.

Till then, in the spirit of an olive branch in the eternal battle of the Whidbey version of the Hatfields and the McCoys, some photo glossiness as the weekend fades.

To see everything Fisken shot, and possibly purchase some glossies for the grandparents, pop over to:
