On to the reunion.
Coupeville grads Lyla Stuurmans and Mia Farris were both in action on college volleyball courts Wednesday night, playing in matches that are the lead-ins to the former Wolves squaring off Friday in Mount Vernon.
The duo, who led the CHS spikers to a 4th place finish at the 2B state tourney as seniors, are now sophomores at Skagit Valley College and Whatcom College, respectively.
The Cardinals, who are 13-10 after falling to Edmonds Wednesday, host the Orcas Friday, who are 9-16 after losing to Everett.
It will be the fourth matchup at the college level for the former Wolf Athlete of the Year winners, with Farris and Whatcom leading 2-1 in the series after winning the first go-round earlier this season.
Wednesday night both SVC and Whatcom ran into high-flying opponents, with the Cardinals coming out on the short end of a 28-26, 25-14, 25-22 score.
Meanwhile the Orcas battled hard in a 29-27, 20-25, 25-16, 25-22 defeat.
Stuurmans picked up four kills, three assists, four service aces, three digs, and eight points, while Farris filled the stat sheet with a kill, two assists, and a match-high 23 digs.
On the season, Stuurmans has 141 kills, 14 assists, 23 aces, 210 digs, eight solo blocks, 34 block assists, and 189 points.
Farris has tallied 37 kills, 38 assists, 47 aces, 345 digs, two solo blocks, a block assist, and 86.5 points.
