Keeping its hot streak alive, the most successful fall sports team at Coupeville High School rolled to another win Thursday night.

By the time they were done, the Wolf JV spikers had shredded visiting Chimacum 25-11, 25-11, 25-17, capturing their third straight victory and school-best sixth of the season.

Now 6-4 overall, 3-0 in 1A Olympic League play, the young guns currently have one more win than the CHS varsity girls’ soccer and boys’ tennis teams.

And they’ve done it despite being shafted a bit by the whims of fate.

With Port Townsend unable to field a JV squad this year, Coupeville’s second team will end up playing three less matches than their varsity counterparts.

The Wolves will close the JV season Monday, Oct. 26 on the road at Klahowya.

Beat the Eagles for a second time, and Coupeville will wrap an undefeated league season and claim a (mythical) league title.

Like last year’s JV girls’ basketball squad, which went 9-0 in league play, the “title” will get them no championship banner, but it bodes extremely well for the future of the Wolves’ varsity program.

Completing a three-match season sweep of the Cowboys (they beat them twice in league play and once in a “non-conference” match), the Wolves played with precision and a cold fury in their home finale.

Coupeville rained down 22 service aces and 26 kills, while notching two milestones.

The Wolves compiled a 1.94 passing average, which coach Heidi Wyman hailed as “the team’s highest of the season” and Kayla Rose converted her first-ever match point on serve.

Nicole Lester claimed player of the match honors, filling the stat sheet with five aces, two kills, a 2.33 passing average and much praise from her proud coach.

Coupeville spread out its offense, with Allison Wenzel collecting six kills, while Sarah Wright (five), Ashley Menges (four) and Maddy Hilkey (two) all chipped in.

Menges doled out a team-high 16 assists, while Wright pounded home 10 service aces.

Kenzi LaRue, Maggie Crimmins, Kameryn St Onge and Abby Parker round out the roster of the best team CHS has to offer this fall.
