Cheerleaders have a special gene.

There is something deep inside them that fuels great passion and spirit and drives them to send those feelings out into the world.

Doubt it?

Take a gander at these five photos from Friday night’s Coupeville/Klahowya girls’ basketball game and be proven wrong.

  “Hey, where’s my free neck massage?!?! I’ve been moving these shoulders all game!!”

On the court, history was being made.

When the Coupeville High School girls’ basketball team crunched Klahowya Friday, it clinched the first league title for a Wolf hoops team since 2002.

Off the court, the action was hoppin’ as well, as travelin’ photo man John Fisken swung his lens around on the fans, school officials and a few of the players themselves.

The dance goes on.

The Whidbey Island Dance Theatre is currently in the middle of putting on its 22nd annual production of The Nutcracker.

Notable for Coupeville fans is the fact two Wolves are dancing in the ballet — CHS freshman Skyy Lippo and junior Sylvia Hurlburt.

You still have three chances left to see the duo on stage, with two performances Saturday (2 PM and 7:30) and one Sunday (2 PM).

The show is being held at South Whidbey High School’s Performing Arts Center (5675 Maxwelton Rd in Langley).

Lesson learned. When Loggers go in the woods, they’re likely to get roughed up by Wolves.

The joint was jumpin’.

Kicking off a hoops doubleheader Friday, the Coupeville High School boys’ basketball squad blistered Darrington, grabbing its first win of the season.

Providing the background accompaniment was the CHS/CMS band and a healthy crowd of Wolf supporters.

Snapping pics of the action both on and off the court was John Fisken, who provides the pics above.

“Oh, you need 10 practices before you can play in your first game? That’s cute.”

Ballet dancers like CHS’ own Sylvia Hurlburt and Skyylynn Lippo can probably do your practice without breaking a sweat.

They have been in full speed rehearsal since September for Whidbey Island Dance Theatre’s 22nd annual production of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker.

This is where the whole island comes together for eight shows over two weeks, not counting the rehearsals.

“There were no cuts from your team? Everyone made it? That’s cute.”

Approximately 75 dancers showed up to audition for parts in the performance, and fully three quarters of those were sent home.

Dancers learn to handle rejection at a very early age. It’s a tough gig, and everyone knows it.

Except at the end, there is no trophy, no MVP, no varsity letter.

Just accolades, flowers, and if you’re really lucky, a standing ovation.

“Tape it and give me a Motrin, I’m going back out in 60 seconds.”

How many other sports require you to finish one piece, exit the stage, change an extremely elaborate costume, and get back on stage in under a minute?

Here’s a hint: NONE.

And if you can’t do that with a smile on your face, there is always another dancer that knows your part cold. They are waiting for the chance to show the director that they are better than you.

This is not the kiddie version of the Nutcracker, this is the one that can compete with any other show.

The show starts on December 12th, and closes on the 21st. All shows are on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with two shows on Saturday.
