Peytin Vondrak was hailed as the JV team’s Most Improved.
Valen Trujillo capped her record-setting career by being named varsity MVP.
Kyla Briscoe never gave up, and her coaches noticed.
An off-season injury wiped away her volleyball season before it began, but the Coupeville High School junior, a two-year letter winner, was there with her squad every step of the way.
Briscoe’s dedication and hard work behind the scenes earned her the inaugural Spirit of a Wolf award bestowed by first-year CHS coach Cory Whitmore.
The award, given at a season-ending banquet Thursday, honors “a player that exemplifies what it means to be a Wolf – hard work, dedication, humility, service to the team ahead of themselves.”
Among the varsity players who were able to play during the program’s best season since 2004, senior Valen Trujillo took home MVP, while Lauren Rose was tabbed Most Inspirational and Sarah Wright claimed Most Improved.
Hannah Davidson (MVP), Maya Toomey-Stout (Most Inspirational) and Peytin Vondrak (Most Improved) took home JV honors.
Playing for coaches Kristin Bridges and Ashley Herndon, the young guns went a flawless 9-0 in 1A Olympic League play.
Tiffany Briscoe, Ally Roberts and Trujillo were honored for playing through all four years of high school, while Briscoe, Trujillo and Rose were captains.
Kailey Kellner received praise for her tireless work as team manager, as well.
