One day away from graduation.

As the Coupeville High School Class of 2014 prepares for their Friday night walk, take a quick look back at the first day of kindergarten, courtesy of future Wolf softball star Madeline Roberts.

Is she pointing to her name on the wall, or already showing how she’ll one day play defense, spearing liners over her head at shortstop?

I’m going with choice #2.

McKayla and McKenzie Bailey are the best thing to happen to photographers since the camera was invented.

The dandy duo, who star for about 26 different Wolf teams, tend to light up whenever they hear the faint click of a photographer at work.

The day they leave Coupeville High School will be the day I have to shut this blog down, because they represent about 37% of all photos I run and … wait, they have a younger sister, the equally camera-happy Mollie?!?!?!?

Life goes on.

Stars of today.

Stars of today.

From watching baseball to starring on the diamond themselves, three Wolves have taken a journey over the last decade.

And while Carson Risner eventually stepped away from baseball to follow his mom (CHS legend Jennie Cross) into the world of track and field, his compadres are still out there.

And there's a glove to go with that bat.

And there’s a glove to go with that bat.

You can’t teach the fundamentals if you haven’t learned them yourself.

So it’s a good thing Coupeville High School softball coach David King grew up with a bat in his hands, learning the secrets of all the diamond games from an early age.

Once a diamond King, always a diamond King.

Streubel grew up to become The Big Hurt.

Even gridiron giants start off small.

Current Coupeville High School seniors Brett Arnold and Nick Streubel grew up to become kings of the football field, but, once upon a time, they were small guys just watching the big boys play games.

Then they became the big boys and other people started watching them.
