The spikers scored big, two ways.

Coupeville High School volleyball hosted its annual Dig Pink night last Thursday, with both the varsity and JV knocking off visiting La Conner on the court.

Now, Wolf coaches have revealed the cancer awareness event generated $1,420, with the proceeds earmarked to go to the WhidbeyHealth Foundation.

Coupeville’s net crew returns to action Thursday, Oct. 24 with a road trip to Concrete.

The Wolf varsity is a pristine 10-0 on the season, and a win against the Lions will clinch the Northwest 2B/1B League title and give the 2024 squad the best start in program history.

Meanwhile, the JV spikers aren’t too far off their varsity counterparts, boasting an 8-1 mark this season.

The Wolf varsity gets pumped, pre-game.

Your donation can help “strike out” cancer.

The Coupeville High School softball squad is holding a gift basket fundraiser this Saturday, Mar. 30 during its home doubleheader with Onalaska.

The non-conference rumbles begin at 1:00 PM.

Coupeville’s sluggers will be selling raffle tickets for 6-7 baskets during the first game and intermission, with winners announced during the second game.

All proceeds benefit WhidbeyHealth and will aid locals who are fighting the battle against cancer.

Last year the Wolves raised almost $700 with their first “Strike Out Cancer” event.

Put that baby’s spell on me

David Bowie sang about them, and I get major page hits whenever I feature them.

Babies, they make the world go round.

As someone who has worked in a respite care center and driven three nephews batty, there are times where I think about leaving the whole writing thing behind and transitioning to an infant-centric work environment.

Somewhere out there is a place which wants to pay me to hold babies while they (and probably me) take a nap.

Certainly would reduce the number of angst-riddled phone calls I get…

Anyway, until then, take a gander at the photo above and do with the information as you will.

Or take four minutes to appreciate a world where Mr. Bowie serenades his babe.
