“Tiffany Briscoe’s my name, droppin’ kills is my game.”
Always be closing.
The Coupeville High School volleyball squad took that mantra seriously, firmly stepping on Port Townsend Saturday to end the regular season on a high note.
Squishing the host RedHawks 25-5, 25-16, 25-19, the league champion Wolves finished at 8-1 in 1A Olympic League play, while improving to 11-4 overall.
Coupeville, which has its biggest win total since 2004, hosts the double elimination district tourney Saturday, Nov. 5.
Win two matches that day and the Wolves punch their ticket to the state tourney.

Facing a Port Townsend team which went win-less in league play, CHS rebounded sharply after being nipped in a five-set war at Klahowya in its previous match.
“I’m really happy with the way that we responded to a loss Thursday, a close loss,” said Wolf coach Cory Whitmore. “Everyone played calm while passing and playing defense and then aggressively attacked the ball.
“It was a strong way to close the season and go into districts.”
Katrina McGranahan led the way, firing off seven service aces and pounding seven kills.
Hope Lodell and Valen Trujillo had mirror image days, each adding six aces and five digs apiece, while Tiffany Briscoe bashed away for five kills.
Meanwhile Lauren Rose (11) and Ashley Menges (9) combined to dole out 20 assists.
