Tisa McPhee scores big (and there’s still no hyphen in her last name)!!

September 20, 2012 by David Svien

How fast is Madison Tisa McPhee?

So fast she can outrun the unnecessary hyphen some newspapers keep trying to put into her last name!

Regardless of how you spell her name, the Coupeville High School senior burns up the track oval, and now, the soccer pitch, where she used her pedal-through-the-floor-speed to outrun and outgun a pack of South Whidbey defenders Tuesday to net her first soccer goal of her high school career.

Tisa McPhee, playing a ball set up by fellow senior sensation Amanda d’Almeida, nimbly avoided a pack of defenders and then out-juked an over-matched Falcon goalie, who waved meekly at a ball she knew she had little chance to stop.

While the Wolves eventually fell 3-1 to their Island rivals, dropping them to 0-5 overall, 0-3 in Cascade Conference play, it was the second straight game Coupeville had found the back of the net, perhaps heralding an offensive awakening.
