   Katrina McGranahan is second among all 1A players in service aces, trailing only teammate Hope Lodell.

Hope Lodell is dangerous.

Through nine volleyball matches, the Coupeville High School junior has recorded 66 service aces, which puts her #1 among all 1A players who have had their stats reported to MaxPreps.

Lodell currently sits #3 across all divisions (2B-4A), trailing only Samantha Johnson of Northwest Christian (72 aces) and Mollie Olson of Napavine (68) for the top spot.

And it’s not really a fair fight, as Johnson has played four more sets than Lodell, with 75 more service opportunities, while Olson has an extra 13 sets and 84 chances at the stripe.

When the Wolf ace fires up a serve, she hits an ace on 42.6% of her attempts, a mark matched by only Sophia Spoja of Steilacoom (43.8%), who benefits from having put up only 80 serves to Lodell’s 155.

After all that, it should come as no surprise that the high-flying, rocket-serving young woman known as “The Surgeon” has already shattered Coupeville’s single-season ace mark.

With six more regular season matches and a playoff run ahead, Lodell is now four ahead of the 62 aces achieved by Mindy Horr in 2004.

So, while digesting all that info, here’s more, the stats season-to-date for all 12 Wolf varsity players who have helped CHS roar out to a 7-2 record overall, 4-0 in 1A Olympic League play.
