Wolf spikers reach for the stars.

It’s time to start seriously thinking about fall sports.

The calendar still says summer, but the first marker heralding a new year of school sports is fast approaching.

This Thursday (Aug. 11) brings the CMS/CHS Sports Sign Up Day, which will run from noon-6 PM in the Coupeville High School gym.

Athletes and their parents can take care of registration and fees while getting schedules.

In a change from previous years, there won’t be any physicals offered that day.

All athletes need to have an updated physical prior to the start of practice to be eligible to participate.

High school football is first up, starting practice Aug. 17.

Girls soccer, boys tennis and volleyball start Aug. 22, while middle school volleyball and football begin practices Sept. 6.

A great turnout for a Tuesday, crutches and all.

The schedule lies.

I lit a fire under wanderin’ paparazzi John Fisken by promising him three separate practices/open gyms were listed on the Coupeville schools web site for Tuesday.

Turns out only 33% of that schedule actually came true, as Wolf cheerleaders and boys basketball players were nowhere to be seen, despite what the schedule might have indicated.

But, the CHS spikers were back at it, putting in off-season work, just like they promised.

So, they get all the camera time.

All of it, I said!

Yep, they’re still going to Forks.

Keeping the longest drive of the season alive, schedules for Coupeville Middle School will pit the Wolves against five other schools this fall.

It’s a hodgepodge of mostly other Olympic League schools, with match-ups against two schools that feed other 1A schools (Port Townsend, Chimacum), two that feed 2A schools (Sequim, Stevens) and one far-flung non-league rival.

First day of practice is Tuesday, Sept. 6, coinciding with the first day of school.

As you fire up the laminating machine to preserve this schedule, be aware, things can always change at the last moment.

Valen Trujillo is what they call multi-talented.

When the Coupeville High School senior is not busy pounding volleyballs, as she and her teammates did at a four-day Western Washington University summer camp last week, she’s still busy putting her many skills to work.

One of those side projects is snapping portraits of her teammates, as shown in the pics above.

Take note, John Fisken.

There’s a new paparazzi in town and she has an eye for the biz.

Hey, they even made signs. (Photo courtesy Valen Trujillo)

Do you want your car to be dirty for the 4th of July?

No, no you don’t.

So take advantage of a rare opportunity and swing by Whidbey Island Bank (401 N. Main in Coupeville) Saturday and get your car all shimmery in time for the nation’s birthday.

Coupeville High School volleyball players will be manning the hoses and scrub brushes starting at 10 AM.

Don’t show up and they will find you.
