The volleyballs are put away, but the photos linger.

Things came to an end this week for the Coupeville Middle School spikers, but before they go, we offer up a collection of pics shot by Julie Wheat.

Cross country runners don’t always head down the trail. Sometimes they trek out to the field.

Especially when it’s creeping up on Halloween and the gourds are sprouting.

With that in mind, the Coupeville High School and Middle School harriers united this week for a pumpkin decorating contest.

No panic with Lyla Stuurmans in the lineup.

Bouncing back from a set down Wednesday, the Skagit Valley College women’s volleyball team rallied to knock off visiting Everett 22-25, 27-25, 25-20, 27-25.

One big key to the victory, which lifts the Cardinals to 12-9 on the season? The play of their sophomore sensation.

Stuurmans, a former Coupeville High School Athlete of the Year winner, came up big against Everett, pounding 10 kills, going low for 14 digs, soaring at the net for two solo blocks, then tossing in a service ace for the cherry on top.

She also put her personal stamp on the win, getting a block to push SVC ahead 26-25 in the fourth set, before serving out the match.

On the season, Stuurmans has racked up 127 kills, 10 assists, 18 aces, 196 digs, 10 solo blocks, 25 block assists, and 167.5 points.

They reached the end of the trail. Quickly.

The Coupeville Middle School cross country team capped its season Wednesday with an appearance at the Cascade League Championships in Langley, and the Wolves held up well on the 3,000-meter course.

Sparked by top five performances from Juniper Dotson and Sarai Dangerfield, the CMS girls finished second in the team standings behind host South Whidbey, while Granite Falls rounded out the top three.

Juniper Dotson and Sarai Dangerfield lead the way for the Wolf girls.

Meanwhile on the boys’ side of things, Coupeville claimed third place, with South Whidbey and King’s going one-two.

In addition to the team titles, the host Cougars also earned both individual crowns, with 7th grader Kaylin Gutzmer and 8th grader Rowan Doonan hitting the tape first.

Overall, there were 169 runners on the course, repping six different schools.
