The alumni continue to excel at the next level.
Coupeville High School grads Mitch Pelroy and Monica Vidoni played in different states Saturday, with one coming away a little happier than the other.
Pelroy and his football teammates at Montana Western pulled out a victory on Senior Night, while Vidoni’s Rainy River Community College volleyball team had its season ended a win away from nationals.
The Voyageurs fell in straight sets to Central Lakes in the district final in Minnesota, after winning a five-set thriller against Itasca the day before.
That ends Vidoni’s two-year run as a college spiker, but she still has basketball and softball seasons ahead of her at RRCC.
With his family in attendance, Pelroy ripped off kickoff returns of 35 and 23 yards as Montana Western rallied late to upend Carroll 35-28.
It was the first time the Bulldogs had successfully defended their home turf against Carroll since 1999.
Pelroy, who also had a tackle on defense, has one more regular season game against Rocky Mountain College Nov. 12.
He has 1,109 career return yards over his 35-game college gridiron career.
