Perfection. Nothing short of perfection.

For the fourth time in history, and the first time by a non-basketball team, a Coupeville High School squad has finished a flawless 9-0 in 1A Olympic League play.

This time around, it’s the Wolf JV spikers, who tied a bow on their season Saturday by drilling Port Townsend for their tenth consecutive victory.

Coupeville’s young guns knocked off the host RedHawks 25-13, 25-18, 20-25 to finish 12-2 overall for first-year coach Kristin Bridges.

The spikers join the 2014-2015 Coupeville varsity and JV girls’ basketball teams and the 2015-2016 varsity girls hoops squad in completing the run to perfection.

The only time the JV squad fell was in non-conference bouts to 2A Sequim and Bellevue Christian back in Sept.

During their 10-match winning streak, which covered a five-week span, Coupeville avenged that early season loss to Sequim, and did so while playing on the road.

“I’m so proud of how much work these young women have put into this team,” Bridges said. “They’ve made so much progress and get better every day.

“I think we definitely ended this season as a united Wolfpack.”

In their final match, the Wolves continued a season-long habit of delivering scorching serves, zipping 26 aces past the flailing RedHawks.

Scout Smith paced CHS with eight of the winners, while Hannah Davidson (5), Raven Vick (4), Peytin Vondrak (3), Lucy Sandahl (3), Zoe Trujillo (2) and Maddy Hilkey (1) also had the magic touch.

Trujillo and Maya Toomey-Stout crunched the ball with abandon, each recording five kills, while Smith doled out six assists and Hilkey recorded a team-high 10 digs.

Teammates Nicole Lester (a kill and a dig), Melia Welling (a dig) and Willow Vick (a kill) also scribbled their name onto the stat sheet, as Coupeville continued to get key contributions from everyone on the roster.

“The team came out swinging this game,” Bridges said. “We had 18 digs, 10 of those from Maddy, who played great defense today.

“Overall we played really well.”

The JV squad will stay together for another week of practice, then unite to cheer on their varsity counterparts at the district tourney, which Coupeville hosts Nov. 5.
